MANIC MONDAY

Has anyone reading this post right now ever heard that song called "Just Another Manic Monday"? That song is how I feel today! I am not going through a particularly busy morning as far as having a lot to do, but I am feeling kinda hectic on the inside. I am feeling like I am being pulled in a million different directions: I need to lose weight, but I miss my junk food. I want to spend my birthday with both of my parents, but I might have to choose one parent or the other to spend my special day with. I have met a great guy but I am scared to death to make it official. And then there's school! Don't even go there! LOL. Thankfully, nothing going on in my life right now is too big to be overcome. See, I could easily give in to my anxieties and temptations and pressures but I refuse to do that! As Joyce Meyer is saying right now, "where the mind goes the man follows." If I want peace of mind I need to think about what I am thinking about. Why am I feeling so stressed in the first place? Because my mind is not in the right place! I need to keep my mind on the Lord, not on my circumstances! I need to focus on what is important not on the small stuff. The important thing is God loves me and I am His child! He will put every thing in my life in the proper order if I will just let Him. I need to stop letting satan whisper in my ear that I am not smart enough to finish school, or loving enough to earn time with my mom and dad, or pretty enough to make Robert want me. No, those things are up to the Lord. If I do my part to love, obey, and serve Him, He will take care of everything. "Do your best and God will take care of the rest!" My prayer for today for myself and for my readers is this: Let it go! All your stress and anxiety and worrying. LET IT GO! Life is too short to let the devil have the victory and too long to live without the peace of God! Be blessed readers. Have a great day!
