As we go through this life and make strides to accomplish what is in our hearts to accomplish, there are things being lobbed at us constantly with the intent of tearing us down. The bigger the accomplishment, the great the attack. I remember when I was alone. All I thought about was myself. Then I got married, then came children and a house. You know how the story goes. The more I added to my life, the more avenues were created for me to be mindful of. With each milestone came along with it a need to grow and expand in my understanding. Just simply going into uncharted territory is a guarantee that there are going to be problems along the way. Therefore we should expect some. Decisions have to be made as to how to handle some of the problems that present themselves.We can’t get it all right all the time. This is one of the main reasons why I read so many books in attempt to give myself an edge as I enter into some of these uncharted areas of life. Nevertheless, I still make mistake that sometimes feel like its is all over now!! And lets not forget the thoughts that bombard our minds when things don’t go right. Makes us just want to have a big pity party sometimes. Those parties are just too expensive and they add up quickly. I like how Joyce Meyer put it once when she had somethings going wrong in her life. “You can pitiful or you can be powerful, but you can not be both.” Man I absolutely love that! It ‘s a knock down drag out fight to keep ourselves from attending our own pity party. As I sit here today tempted to be pitiful but choosing to be powerful as I follow through on some commitments when it would be so much easier to just sit on the couch and watch football all day and get nothing accomplished. Yes, I fight with it just like the next guy, and I have shared this with you because there is an evil sinister force out there that wants us to think that we are the only ones that struggle with what we struggle with. We must not believe that lie as it comes to our thoughts. Lets keep moving in the face of our thoughts being attacked by keeping our sites on the prize of our efforts.
