What Problem?
Every morning the first thing I say is, "Thank You Lord for waking me up today". Yesterday as I said that I began to think about all the battles and struggles I/we constantly endure as single parents or even just as people. We constantly allow our minds to zoom in on how big our problem/situation is. Then I realized how Satan only allows us to focus our mind on the storms in our life. As I began to wrap my mind around that I realized that I have in the last few months especially, allowed my joy to be taken. I have so much to be thankful and grateful for in spite of any struggle I have. I have two of the most beautiful and healthy children in the world, I have food on my table, clothes on our backs, shoes on our feet, two jobs, God made a way for me to go back to school, I have some of the most AWESOME friends, God always makes a way financially and honestly there have been times when I'm not real sure how he did that. My daughter had severe pneumonia in January and God brought her through. I have a GREAT family. I mean I could indeed go on forever about all the blessings God is placing and has placed in my life. I just wanted to share this with you all because most of the time we have blinders that only allow us to view our circumstance or situation when if we really sat quiet for a moment and counted our blessings we'd truly see we are so rich and our struggles seem so small compared to all we've been given. So I encourage you to look at those problems and don't see how big they are; tell them how big your God is!!

Have you heard the song by 33Miles called "Jesus Calling"? The chorus is something like...
ReplyDeleteWhen you see the rushing wind
Feel the pouring rain
Hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in
You're blinded by the lightning
Do you also hear that still small voice
Saying it's okay, you're not alone
You may be scared to death, but I won't let you go
You may think the sky above is falling
But can you hear Jesus calling?
Verse 2
What do you see when you look at your world today
Do you see a glimmer of hope, or has it all turned to gray
Well start by counting your blessings one by one
Oh and I’m sure right there, you’ll start to see the sun
You see there’s always another story, another side to every coin
And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice
I think it fits this post.
Love you! Jenna
