I feel like I'm a walking-around tsunami. Things, events, happenings, diagnoses, tantrums, loved ones leaving, unloved ones staying. They're everywhere, they're everywhere! I have no idea where I first heard that, but it sure fits right now.
They are all appearing as less-than to me and my reasoning mind, and I give thanks from my toenails up that my reasoning mind does know that God has my back, all I need do is let all these less-thans float right on by me.
We all go through these times..."these times" are life itself. It is how we deal with life, our life just as it is right this very minute, that determines how at peace we are going to feel on the other side of these times.
Feeling stress is not "doing it wrong." No...it is having appropriate feelings for the situation at hand. The great gettin' up morning in our head is when we realize that we have a choice, and we choose not to act on our stressed feelings...this is the exact minute when we say, "Thank you," and mean it.
No need to define it for God, he's already fixed it. We just need to consciously know we're turning our head around, changing our mind, getting out of the driver's seat, letting go and letting God...all of those and any more we can think of to Let. It. Be.
We are going in the right direction, especially and specifically when things look bleak, and we say our thank you prayer without quibbling about it. Wow! That feels good just seeing it in black and white. Yes!
God just loves us. Hey...that's very likely why we have bleak times, to realize God's love for us.
Thank you.
