Take a deep breath and breathe. My car has not a drop of oil in it. I have a stomach virus in the house. My daughter doesn’t want to go to school. (She is not the one sick; it is my daughter’s fiance.) Dealing with the virus in the house, I missed posting yesterday to the Slice of Life Challenge. My computer is impossibly slow, and it seems to take me an hour to type a paragraph.
We are worried for my future son-in-law. He has to have a doctor’s note or he will lose his job. It is the rules of his work place, Ingles. He didn’t feel like going in and puking on their floor; so, he went to the emergency room to get his note.
I am taking new medicine that is turning me into a zombie. My cat and dogs have fleas that are super insects and impossible to kill. My husband pickup truck is still in the shop and has been there since Christmas.
I could write a country blues song today. Cue the music.
What do you do when you can put your life to sad country music? I don’t give in.
Cue Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
I turn my face up and look to the mighty Lord for my needs. He created all that we see and He careth for me.
Isaiah 40: 28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
What do you do when life problems seem to be building up to an impossible high pitch? Let’s share some great verses today to cheer each other up. Post them in my comments section.
Remember God is greater than any problems we face.
Mary, Just reading “what do you do when you can put your life into a sad country song” cheers me right up – I could feel myself trying to compose a little number in my head…and humming along, much to my daughter’s dismay! I hope writing it helped to heal you as well. Blessings to you this weekend.
I hope your weekend will be brighter, and the upcoming week too. A song sounds great, but in the meantime, why not sing Orphan Annie’s song “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow”. Is that the title? I like the scriptures you posted, very uplifting to read.
I hate the pile up of little pestering problems. When I start to see that I’m really letting it get to me I make myself stop and reflect on all the positive and good in my life and remind myself there s always worse so I tell myself to even be thankful for the small problems. Hope it all gets better!
I would love to hear your country song. Trouble will always come but we need to rise above it. I’m glad that your post is about rising above challenges and that you shared your own with us.
