Just Needing Prayer From my LGM family

[churchyreal]

Hey family,

Tonight has just been a bad night with my phone messing up, friendship argument and just overall getting discouraged about some things in my life. Life is somewhat hard for me and my family and has been since June 2007. But I still believe everything happens for a reason.

In your prayer time please keep me in your prayers and thoughts. I'm a senior in college and I don't believe God brought me this far for me to give up now so I'm pressing inspite of.

Thanks yall!

Friends fight is the worst - like when siblings squabble and don't make up. It's easy to get discouraged, but remember God is still in control.

Praying for better days for you...

It will all work out. Seasons come and go. God knows.

I'll be praying for you.

You know, I've been sharing this epiphany I had every chance I get, and I want to share it with you. It changed my whole entire life, and it just happened a few weeks ago. (You probably saw me mention it briefly on FB).  I came to realize that your whole life can change with just one decision. All it takes is one decision to be happy, to be free, to rejoice in spite of, to see God...

I made a decision that I was not going to complain no matter what; I decided that my life is perfect because I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'm in His perfect will.  I decided that I'm happy and that I won't be discouraged or depressed by outside factors. I decided that I won't be stressed. I decided that I will have peace even if I don't have all the answers and haven't figured everything out. Most importantly, I decided that EVERY DAY WILL BE A GREATER DAY THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT... just because my mind is made up!

The day after I shared this decision/epiphany with a sister from church, I was on my way to work. I was standing under an umbrella (in pouring rain) at the crosswalk at the train station when a van drove by and splashed me. I was drenched from head to toe, including my hair which I had just washed (and sat under the dryer for 2.5 hours) the night before.  Everything was soaked, and I mean EVERYTHING. I didn't have to think twice about smiling. I don't know why I had to experience that, but I do know that God ordained it. I'll probably never know why He saw fit to allow that to happen, but in the grand scheme of things, it was a small thing that, months ago, would've ruined my whole day. But because of my decision, I just kept right on going, and had a great day.

Since then, a lot of things (REAL things) have happened that could throw me off track. My daughter and her children could cause me stress, being the sole financial support of two households (and a jobless friend) could cause me stress, driving about 700 miles a week... all that stuff COULD upset me or stress me out or make me feel overwhelmed, but I decided that if God allows it, I'm cool with it.  I just have peace knowing that He's in control and I'm in His safety.    NOTHING... and I mean nothing has bothered me since.

Make the decision today. You'll be tested, but I get the feeling you can pass.

Cosign doesn't even begin to cover the level to which I agree with everything you said.

Keep your head up, bruh.  I'll be praying for you.
