I am still without a permanent home. I am still a single parent without support. I still battle my disabilities everyday; and still am affected by illegal access denial in regard to my service dog. However, my heart is filled with the joy of the Lord, and I am secure in the knowledge that I am right where He has meant me to be. I share my life and the stage with my closest canine companions, and am the mother of a beautiful and incredible little girl ... I can’t see anything but good in that synopsis ... further proof that God knows exactly what He’s doing!
Just imagine for a moment what my life would have been had I not followed a positive thinking approach and fell into the negative, self-pitying thought process that would have been oh-so-much easier. I would have missed out on all the wonderful opportunities that God had in store for me!
I know that, by remaining in faith and speaking positive affirmations over my life, I am allowing God to do some very important work in the background of my life. While I’m on stage, speaking the words that He is providing to me, He is backstage, arranging an amazing future for my daughter and I. He promises that He will restore all that has been taken from me double; if only I remain in faith and allow Him to work in His due and perfect time. It’s all good. My job is to rest my troubles upon Him, and enjoy the incredible journey that He has so masterfully mapped out for me.
How many opportunities have you missed in your life because you grumbled, complained, or spoke negatively over your problems? Don’t dwell on them; but be aware of them, so that the next time you go through a storm in your life, you turn to God instead of to negative thinking. I promise He can take your storm and use it to plant seeds in a bright new future! Trust in Him and be prepared to see miracles in your life.
