Car break in; home invasion; humiliation on the job; family conflict; financial challenge; job instability....these are all challenges I have, by the Grace of God experienced (or am experiencing) and still standing.
There have been times when I have accepted the decrepit hand of self-pity as it ushered me into the pit of depression....not today. Today, I choose to rise above circumstances...they do not define who I am. I am a winner...I fight the good fight when I hold the loving, omnipotent hand of God as he guides me into victory in all areas of life: prerequisite is trust surrender.
Just yesterday, I home was broken into...my laptop stolen; so much of my personal information was on there. Yesterday during the height of all the chaos, I remained calm...saying, "I trust you Lord"...when thoughts of what was taken came to mind and the implications of that clanged like a cymbal in rapid succession between my ears (one worry after another, after another), I captured them on paper...and wrote actions that I could take. One major action being trusting God's Love...now the ball is in my court to take these actions God has revealed as an act of self care and self love and nurturing. All really is well.
I am choosing to rise above circumstances...and when I sit above my life's situations, I see patterns and gain understanding of the next healthy move :)What about you?
P.S. Got the idea from attending a recovery meeting this morning to study those who transcend challenge in life and still hold strong to the course/purpose/assignment in life (i.e. Mandela)
