Note to self:
Stop stressing. And biting your nails won't make them grow faster.
Remember this too shall pass, because it always does.
Sincerely,
Rational self.
Lately, I've been feeling overwhelmed with a lot of aspects of life. You know that feeling where you just keep expecting things to go wrong, because everything else is. Like your mind is disconnected from your body and the latter is functioning as though it was in a state of normality when the prior is in one of chaos. Some may call it a front: putting a smile on your face when your soul isn't smiling. I call it coping.
So, that was me. Coping.
Until I realized that living and coping are two very different things and I needed to stop coping if I wanted to start living. See, I tend to trust God in the big areas of my life (ex: praying that an interview turns into an internship, hoping that I get the scholarship I applied for) but it's as though I completely forget that faith exists with the small things.
So, here I am this morning: having a cup of faith with my tea. Because "God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it."
Note to Self: Have a Cup of Faith
God is with you!
ReplyDeleteIf you're able to trust God with the small things, you'll no doubt be able to trust Him with the bigger aspects of your life!!

ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing this. This is something I can relate to and say I learned the hard way by not putting my faith God not to only handle my major obstacles but my small ones as well. You feel like after one fail that everything else behind will just as much be as a disappointment but you said it the best " If God brings you to it, he'll bring you through it" and I'm just realizing how true this statement is. Everything happens for a reason and he makes no mistakes.
ReplyDeletethis post is so great, and true. Like you, I forget to give my worries to God and let them go often. It takes discipline. Beautiful

I'm on the same page as you are, I could use a cup of faith. Only thing I can do is stay positive and pray,
ReplyDeleteI love the quote at the end!
Very true! Usually, it's the small things that end up overwhelming us. It's easy to forget to have faith in the littly itty bitty aspects of life. Trust and believe. One day at a time....
ReplyDeleteTrust me, I've been there. Remember to continue to trust in God. You'll be fine.
