I didn't post yesterday because I was in a huge funk due to some really disheartening news that my husband and I received on Monday. I've been crying and feeling sorry for myself all day, and I've had enough of it. I have a ton of blessings in my life, and I need to remember how fortunate I am, even if I have had a setback.
It's so easy to only cling to God when things are difficult. I'm guilty of that, but I'm determined to stop doing it. I read this in the Bible last night:
"Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God...
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life. " (Psalm 42:5,8)
Tomorrow, hopefully I'll be back to my normal self!
I'm so sorry you received bad news. I certainly hope everything works out alright. And I'm inspired by your strong and positive attitude, even in the face of setback.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Katie. And I am also guilty of only clinging to the Lord in hard times. He is so so good, all the time. I think what you are doing is the best possible response- reflecting on all you have to be thankful for and all your blessings. I was going through a similar experience and blogged about it. TO see what I found in the Bible, etc click here-

I'm so sorry about the bad news. Crying and feeling sorry for yourself are natural reactions and can be therapeutic, so don't beat yourself up. You seem like a very strong and insightful person -- I think these qualities will help you.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is ok Michelle! Try to stay strong and positive:)
