Last
week was like being in a sandstorm. My environment seemed to change each moment
of the day. From good news to sadness, discouraging to encouraging and all
other mixed emotions.Each day had its own theme. Each time I took my hand out
of God’s I was being swept away by the powerful wind of anxiety. I do not know
how many times I wept, but I knew what it was about. And during those times, I
kept praising and thanking God for His mercy. Living is not easy but life could
still be a lot worse to us. We all go through something, good and bad and we
get through it. We are here to see another day and we should rejoice and be
glad in it. When the dust started settling and I thought I was falling, God
held me up. I am still standing and I announce publicly thank you Lord! He
never left me. Even though I am still in a storm, I can see in front of me. The walk by faith and not by sight is taking some time to get used to but I will. I
am learning not to get distracted from taking my eyes off the Lord by looking
at the stormy waters. I am learning to reach out my hand for His even when
things seem alright. I constantly remind myself how many times God has saved me
with miracles and mercy. By His grace I make it through the storms. I have a
mission and His Will be done. It has already been rewarding.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
