"MY LIFE"
(but everybody else first)
Living my life has not been easy. But as I keep living I'm finding that I really don't know who I am. Now let's just see who has been presented.
1. YES,to others and not to me.
2. PEOPLE PLEAS ER,the need.
3. MOTHER,to over 35- three my own/1 grandson,not included in the 35.
4. DOORMAT,not speaking up for myself.
5. RUNNER,not this is the one that takes the cake.
6. MONEY TREE,to others with trickery and guilt tripping me.
7. ATM, grown children/not returning it.
I have to find out what is the most important to me right now. SO LET'S GET STARTED. God first,OF COURSE. Then my baby Jeremiah (aka Jerry) and them me. Jerry can't help himself (read grandson area).
What makes one, keep doing the same thing over and over. I ask myself. Calling it "helping",but the people you are helping, are helping themselves move right along and here I am stagnant. Now what's wrong with that picture? For now on, it will be another.....watch it, now let's just rephrase that thought....Whew!!!!!!
OK! Continuing on...For now on there will be a flat "NO!" to any request that do not fit into the plan that the Almighty has for my life.
When I'm asked/this will be my answer,"Let me seek the Lord first". Just in case it is an emergency. But on all that other stuff. A "Flat out No!" answer.
OM Gosh!, I hate to even touch on this subject. For just the thought of how many of you who would like to whip me in the spirit (QUEEN MOTHER)....OUCH!!!
----#5/ THE RUNNER / When the tough got tough,when "people"got to talking,I got to running. I guess saying that the song "STAND" wasn't out at the time....Alright, I knew that wouldn't work. lol ,I tried.
In all of that running, it allowed me to put up walls,hold out my long handle spoon,be stand offish and pick and choose, with whom I would allow in my world.
Which ended up shutting everyone out. I lost myself,along with trust not to mention that I took that to a whole new level. Stood on the scripture with that one.
Over time, I noticed that it was much better to stay in that zone. No one could hurt ( at church )me anymore if I just stay at a distance. I would reject speaking and singing engagements. It's said that if you carry out a certain thing for at least twenty days; a pattern would be established. So again I refuse, with no explanation
to go to a "Women In White Service" and render two Selections and or Be one of the Speakers.
Instead of running for the Lord, I'm been running from the Lord. Because of what "people" have done to me. How sad :(....
Glad, God is merciful,loving,kind and forgiving.
Whew!!! I can go on and on with that one :)
Having loss my self in all of the vicissitudes of life. What Keeps me is , Knowing that the Almighty, will take care of every situation.
And He's looking out for my good......Thank You Father!
Now how much do I owe him?
Enough for now....
Reader Be Blessed!!!
Until next time....
