Have you ever been at a point where your life as you know it has been flipped upside down? What do you think that you'd do then or what did you do? I wouldn't judge you if you said that you wanted to curl up in a corner until things got back to normal. Yes one can pray and trust until you're blue in the face but as humans you're gonna get to a breaking point. Let's be real, I've said that "maybe the Lord has a task for me in this season", or "Lord I know where you guide you provide." I've also had the prayer "Lord me tyad (I'm tired), when does this end?" I'm thankful that God doesn't get tired of me or loves me less despite my whining.
What did you learn or if you're still in that season, what are you learning? Me, I really enjoy painting. Yes I love crafting but I have this crazy desire to add color to everything and I mean everything but I'm resisting😆. I've learned to focus on reasons to be grateful like the opportunity to bond with my godchildren, to spend time with friends, and to develop my crafting and construction abilities. I'm still learning to find peace daily. My mental health is one of my top priorities, that and not melting in this heat 😥.

Here's your reflection assignment:
🌟How can you improve your mental health journey?
🌟What's on your gratitude list?
🌟How can you find joy in the chaos?
It is true that some seasons make you question everything you’ve ever thought was your constant, but it’s in those seasons when you should remember to lean on God and ask Him to direct your path. Sometimes we have plans for ourselves but God’s plans are bigger. In these moments we need to sit in the silence and be led instead of being in complete control. Trust God. Isaiah 41:10 (T.S-P)
ReplyDeleteI have been on a mental roller coaster for a year and 2 days now. It has been quite a journey but I am really learning to be still and let God take the lead in my life . I’ve curled up in bed and even screamed to the skies. Through it all God has always shown up and for that I can grateful.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I see you. I feel you. I am personally familiar with life lifing. Please unlearn the idea that when you name your truth you're whining. Trust in God does not negate your experiences and naming your reality does not negate your trust in God.
ReplyDeleteWhat did I do? (What am I doing?) I tried to remember to breathe (physically and metaphorically). I put a foot in front of the other. I kept dreaming and working towards a goal. Sometimes, I just stopped because I couldn't. These days, part of caring for my mental health includes therapy and intentional gratitude as well as my crafting. Do what works for you. I am praying for you. And since I don't accept that this is God's will, I'm also researching, because faith without works...
