Life's ups and DOWNS.

Wow, I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I have written anything. I have to tell you that I have been in kind of a slump the past month. I have been stressing about a lot of things. I think I have even been suffering from some mild anxiety attacks. I have just been seeing and feeling a lot of changes going on around me, and they have been changes that having been kind of bringing me down. I have gotten away from my prayer journal lately. I haven't stopped talking to God, I just haven't been spending enough quality time with Him. I have been spending more time focusing on the negative instead of God. I don't know, I think that maybe Satan is just working over time in my life. I have been trying to figure out where my place is in everything going on around me. There have been places where I feel helpless, places where I have just given up on, places where I just feel frustrated and confused. I feel like God has been just screaming at me to jump out of my comfort zone, to be bold, to stop hiding behind silly fears. I have tried to do that but either those fears and doubts take over and I clam up or opportunities that I thought were there turn out to not be the opportunity I thought they were. I know that this is a temporary slump.
I live because Jesus lives in me. He gives me the power, peace, strength and love I need. To be honest, I welcome the slumps. They, eventually, force me to really examine my life, think things through and they force my attention back on God. They are learning experience and they cause growth.
Have a Blessed Day!
