How many of you are in the midst of a challenging season in your life? Lately, it seems like there is so much going on around us on a daily basis. It really is important to be very intentional about how you choose to spend your time because there are so many distractions around us all the time.
When I experience a difficult day, I stop everything so I can reset internally. Sometimes it even means turning out the lights for a bit to shut out all distractions. I have to quiet my thoughts and pray and breathe deeply. Other times, I may turn on music to help me refocus, because, let’s face it, Sisters, these days life just feels stressful.
You may even find yourself in the midst of a storm or test right now—family issues, job-related stress, health concerns, relationship difficulties—sometimes life just feels hard.
Notice, I keep saying “feels,” because I need you to know these turbulent times are temporary. I know it seems like every time you turn on the television, you hear about the latest tragedy, mass shooting, plane crash, political corruption, or food recall; it feels like it never ends. It may be difficult to keep a positive attitude in the midst of all of the bad news. But Sisters, hold on!! No matter how things look or feel, please know that God is still in control! You just may be experiencing your Friday right now. Let me explain what I mean.
