    Gratitude

    Last week was an interesting week for me. There was one day in particular when everything went wrong it seemed. I had a conversation with a friend, who was having the same type of day. As she was about to complain about what was going wrong, she stopped and said, no, I will not focus on the negative, I will deal with what is happening, but also find the positive. I decided to take the same stance, and while everything didn’t get better, I recognized that I can’t control everything, but I can control how I deal with it. How do you deal with opposition?

    EMPTY

    Have you ever been tapped out? Like you had nothing else to give? I’m sure we’ve all felt this way at some point in our lives. There have been many times when Wednesday come and I’m suppose to post a blog and I’m like, “I’ve got nothing.” But most times, God brings a thought to my mind, just as he did today. It’s been a rough couple weeks but as God always does, be provided. I’m sure he has done the same for you. While your situation wasn’t content for your blog or grief, it could of been insufficient funds for a bill, feelings of defeat, confusion, indecisiveness as to…
