That’s me to the crazy lady in my head who tries to get me thinking the wrong things!!! But, my winning strategy is to run to God in these INSANE moments and ask Him, “What is your perspective on this situation?” No shame, I run to my meditation books or to our family’s website, werollwithgod.com, asking God for His help with whatever is bothering or upsetting your girl here.
Yesterday that meant me going to the first page of our website. I can’t get over God, but He addressed specifically what I was struggling with: I was letting a small thing turn into a huge thing in my head! Here’s what I read:
“I love how His (God’s) ways are not the world’s ways; they’re so much better! Once I put His perspective on everything, I’m good, but boy oh boy, without Him, I’m INSANE. Like I was teaching my daughter, Ember, something crucial about relationships. She was a little bit hurt and disappointed by her dad, and I said, “I want you to overwhelm him with love and appreciation. He has gone way beyond what any other father would have done for you! You can’t look at a small thing and get upset. Look at the big picture!”
As I spoke to her, I was talking to myself! God has changed my thinking from looking at my husband’s faults and failings to one of, ‘Wow! I’m so blessed to have this awesome man as my husband.””
LET ME TELL YA, THE GOD PERSPECTIVE CHANGES EVERYTHING! The crazy lady went away, and I was back FOCUSED ON THE BIG PICTURE, being the wife who is grateful for this husband who goes the extra mile for our family! God, thank You for the reality check!
God has truly been the beautiful guard rails of my life! He keeps me on the best path. That’s why it is such an honor to share with you guys the beautiful lessons that He is teaching me AND TO REMIND YOU THAT A LIFE LIVED CLOSE TO GOD IS THE BEST ONE. I still have my challenges and dilemmas just like everyone else, but when I put a God perspective that He is not only with me in every moment, He is ahead of me fighting battles on my behalf, tweaking situations so that they are not too much for me to bear, helping me with His wisdom and guidance and even sending people I need to assist me. (HUGE SMILE)
Don’t miss out! Start seeking Him in every move you make, asking what he would have you to do! Don’t forget to have your alone times with Him where you learn His crucial voice and the person He is calling you to be in the world!
