Oh My God! Can you believe that it's December already. We JUST started the fall semester!!! It is crazy how fast time is running, it is unbelievable. It is even more crazy how I remember how miserable my life was a year ago. Oh God I was so lost, so lonely, life was so bitter I couldn't even fake a smile, I was studying SO HARD but my grades kept deteriorating. I mean like seriously! Problem wasn't because I was using a wrong studying technique. I have been using the same technique for years and it's worked tremendously in the past years, so why wasn't it working for me last year? Its funny right? I cried almost every night before bed because I hated how my life was at that moment. I remember I used to always want to pray to God about what I was going through at that time but I couldn't. I didn't know how to. I felt as if God did not want to listen me; as if He didn't want anything to do with me. I couldn't talk to anyone about what I was going through. I could have told my family, but I did not want them to worry. So I carried the load alone, until I got tired of it. Long story short, I ended up handing my load over to God to deal with because I was weak, inexperienced and He knows what is better for me. I made this decision before the year ended last year. I did not want to start the new year feeling miserable, feeling like a mediocre, lonely etc. I wanted to start the year with positivity. I wanted my life to be better than how it was when I was a sophomore (stress free, it was beautiful!). Things weren't perfect in the beginning, It was still rocky, but I had God, so I was good. Thankfully everything is so much better now. I love where I am now, I asked God for a few changes but He opened even BIGGER doors for me! I couldn't be more grateful.
So I guess my question to you this morning (or whenever you read this post) is, how is life treating you? Like HOW ARE YOU? Do you think life is treating you unfairly? Do you feel miserable? Are you lonely? Are you living in self pity? Have you tried talking to God? Oh you feel too dirty and guilty to go before Him? You've probably questioned so many times how horrible life is to you. You've probably cried to many times, because it hurts. I know because I have been there.
Well I guess my next series of questions to you are whether or not if you want to continue living this way? Do you want to start 2015 with this life? Do you want to start the new year thinking that God wants nothing to do with you? He created you from His own image, how would he not want anything to do with you. You are His most beloved child. Are you surprised? Don't be. Believe it or not, everything you're going through right now, is preparing you for God's blessing. God is using the situation that you're in right now to open your eyes. He is using your current situation to push you into greatness. He is using your situation to push you out of your comfort zone. God wants you to see every blessing He has for you. How else would you be able to see your blessing if you're comfortable with where your life is? Just as God can open doors for us, sometimes he purposely closes doors for our own sake. So if you sense that God is stretching you in certain areas of your life, flow with Him. Im telling you, if God had not stretched me, I wouldn't have been where I am, I probably wouldn't have been able to write this post for you to read.
Trust me, your situation is not going to kill, its going to mold you, so flow with God yo!. Stop being so stubborn and go down on your knees when you sense a great hunger for God's presence in your life. Treat your bad situation with positivity. If you think that you have to change a behavior to make things better for you, then do it! You probably need it! Your life probably depends on that change, so go for it.
2015 is 26 days away. Do you REALLY wanna start the new year still feeling miserable? C'mon you know you want a better life. Change your bad behaviors, flow with God's plan and experience God's goodness. This topic is very dear to my heart, therefore I hope that the message here will be able to help get through whatever you're facing today. This is NOT the end. God's got you!
