I’m Only Human
Yep, that’s right. I’m only human. I have days where things bother me, and I am tempted to become discouraged. Try as I may to push the negatives out of my head, they seem to resurface. At times like these, it is important to reach out to someone. There are just some times that you have to pour your heart out. You have permission to feel the feelings and to talk about them, just don’t dwell on them. That is where you get into trouble. The more you dwell on the negatives of a situation, it will start to consume you. As the saying goes,
You can’t live a positive life with a negative mind.
I heard another one today that rings true as well, and it is as follows:
Your thoughts about the situation lead to unhappiness.
I had a very sweet friend pray for me this week. Not only did she pray for me, but she reached out and let me know that I was on her heart and that she just had to let me know she was praying for me. I’m glad she did because her message came at just the right time. It was as if her heart knew that my heart was troubled and her words were like soothing balm to my soul.
What did I do to combat the negative thoughts this week? I prayed, and then I put on praise and worship music. I can guarantee you that if you put on some good uplifting “feel good” type of music and just start singing your heart out, you are bound to drive away those ill feelings! I do not believe that you can remain in a negative frame of mind when you lift up your hands or voices to the Lord to sing His praises. That was, indeed, the solution for me this week, more specifically tonight!
