Over the course of a day or two I've been hit with a lot of unexpected life-changes/alterations/things and people from my past that I thought were no more suddenly resurfacing. Needless to say it's been a lot to take in and I've been feeling particularly inclined to be discouraged in my current life circumstances. However, all of these changes and new uncertainties have a way of directing my eyes to the Lord and reminding myself that He is fully aware of everything that is going on in my life. And, more importantly, that I'm not alone in it all.
Last night, upon finishing my nightly prayers, I began to dwell too heavily on all the bad going on in my life and how it's been affecting me personally. When that feeling became too heavy to bear I was struck with a thought, an idea. So I got up out of bed, grabbed a 3x5 card and began to pen everything I'm blessed with as well as what God has given me. Before I knew it I'd taken up a whole note-card and I began to think "the positives in my life are far outweighing the negatives" and its as if a burden was lifted from me. I have so much to be thankful for. I have everything I need because my God is taking care of me. How can one not be encouraged after realizing that?
To God be the Glory. :)
