I want to give up.
Right now.
I’m tired. The roofers are roofing. The maintenance guys are maintaining. The heatwave won’t end. The bills keep piling up.
Me: I’m tired of this.
God: I know.
Me: I don’t think You are moving fast enough. Honestly, it doesn’t seem as if You are moving at all for ME.
God: I know. Will you trust me?
Me: Do I have a choice?
God: You do. I will love you however you decide.
Me: Fresh hell…K.
I am in a blaming mood. I want to blame the tornado for turning my life upside down. I want to blame my job for not caring. I want to blame friends for not caring. I want to blame me for not understanding that work and friends would not care when things got hot. I want to blame God for allowing all of this mess in the first place.
I want to lay in bed and play the blame game. Instead, I rise. I get up. I make coffee. I write. I pray. I stand fast. I choose joy. I choose to wait patiently. I don’t have the luxury of time. Life is much too short to be wasting by playing the blame game.
Today is the start of another month. I wonder what the month will bring. I am doing my best to accept whatever comes. It’s not easy. We were never promised an easy life. We can have an awesome life. It’s up to us.
We decide to love. We decide to hope. We decide to dream. We decided we quit or continue.
Be encouraged. Don’t give up. Not just yet.

Note: I honestly did not want to make my act right act right today. I want to tell my try to shut up already. I can’t. I have things to do. I’m tired of all the construction going around. I’m tired of looking at all the destruction. I’m just tired. I can’t quit. Neither can you.
It’s easy to quit when we are tired. Don’t give up. Not quite yet. You have no idea what’s beyond the next corner. Move forward. Keep looking up. It’s OK to be discouraged. Just don’t quit.
A friend told me to turn on my music and to sing real loud. I have my music on. I am singing loudly on the inside. Singing is bringing up my joy bubbles. Ah, God, where You at?
You SHALL win, beloveds, so long as you don’t quit. Don’t. Not quite yet. Your best IS still to come. It is. Ah, I know. Faith hurts when your dreams just refuse to come to you. I believe in you. God believes in you. Life believes in you. The Universe believes in you.
While we are all toiling, waiting, wondering, wishing, I gather us all and pray for faith, peace, comfort, hope, joy and special blessings whilst we continue to LIVE. Don’t spend your days surviving life. Thrive. Where you are. In the midst of hard. We got this. We truly do.
In case no no one has told you, I love you. So does He. Be well…..
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on beingβ¦YOU!

Don’t give up! Not just yet!ππ₯°β₯οΈ
