Ruminating a bit. I must admit that lately, it has been so easy for me to get down in the dumps with the blues because too often, there is more month at the end of my money, too many bills left below my bottom line. I have gone there (the dumps) several times lately. It seems that when I look around at my friends and peers, everyone seems to be prospering, while my money is funny and my change is strange as my dear mommy used to say. I would try to encourage my self and not complain. Try not to be ungrateful to God about the blessings that I do have. But, too often, I found that my faith seemed to be shrinking, bit by bit. Anybody been there? Thats a dark place, I dont like it. Today, God reminded that He knows what things we have need of, and that when I pray for daily bread, He is a provider. When I worry about tomorrow, He tells me that tomorrow will take care of itself. Ive lost sleep, beating myself up about my teaspoonful of faith, that as a woman of God, I SHOULD be stronger than that. He reminded me that my faith doesnt have to be bigger than my fears ALL the time, merely the size of a mustard seed. Sometimes thats all I got, just sayin. But at the end of the day, Im still here, still standing, have a roof over my head, enough food to feed my family and none of the things I worried about ever even materialized! I decided that I WILL Trust Him, I WILL continue to praise and worship Him, I will lean NOT to my own understanding, I understand that my darkest time is just before day and that the devil is a liar. He just wants me to take my focus off the Master and look at my circumstances (like Peter when walking on the water) and miss my Blessings, NOT SO! I will Bless the Lord at ALL times! He is Good and He will supply, not just my every need, but all of YOURS, too. It is well with my soul. Be Blessed, FB family.
