Rest for the Worrier

Tonight I am blogging with so many wonderful things on my mind...The possibilities are indeed endless for me, and I have hope like never before.. there's something extremely special about resting in the hands of your creator. When you've truly rested you have surrendered all of your will, intellect, and logical thought processes while finding yourself just being in the state that you are in.

I was a CHRONIC worrier...to the point where it literally controlled every aspect of my life..always worrying that the worst would happen, because I'd often experienced pretty terrible things in the past.. being a slave to the pain of my past because I knew no other way to live......and I was a Christian..going to church every Sunday, ministering, praying for others, and filled with doubt about things ever being "well" for me. So how do you remedy that? It took me losing things I held dear to me emotionally,physically etc. for me to finally break out of the detrimental cycle of worrying...I got tired of receiving exactly what my "stinking thinking" said I would receive. Instead I took the promises of God and made them my own and began to lean on them with my WHOLE heart.

People may often say, that will never be me, or how could you not see your own worth..So much can be said about that...the bottom line is that YOU have the power to "label" yourself in such a way that you literally resist and denounce anything that deems you less than absolutely AMAZING! I know that I'm brilliant simply because God placed me on this Earth, out of the millions that could of been, HE CHOSE ME! Who am I to sit down and accept defeat when God has given me breath, time, and opportunity to effect change with my life? I'd say the same to you all!You're brilliant just because you're here...

The word of God Changed me, when nothing or no one else could help me, HIS love lifted me!! HIS LOVE did what my intellect and greatest reasoning could not do. So, maybe you are finding yourself where I was, stop-take a moment- and think about what God says about you! You are the head and not the tail, you are blessed and favored by God, and He loved you so much that HE literally died for you!! Let His amazing love overwhelm you, so that you can give it to others!!

Keep moving forward in love!
