Defeated life
Each day we choose to live either a victorious life or a defeated life... today I was defeated. Big time defeated. We've all had bad days, but for me this one topped them all. Some stuff happened to me early in the day and I consciously made the decision to allow it to rule my day. I wanted to feel sorry for myself all day and for the most part I did. It wasn't one of those times where you try to get people's sympathy; instead I found a way to put myself without other people knowing. I had a pleasant night at work and even got some comments on how good I was and how helpful I was, but I was good and helpful to everyone except myself.Is this how we are supposed to live? Not at all. I wasted a day of my life focused on myself when the people around me are lost. Living in victory means letting my light shine even when I'm weak. Did one person gain anything from the way I lived my life today? Not one. I chose to live defeated. Don't live defeated.
Anyway, with all there's a ton of change happening around me. My parents are having a new, smaller house built and we're moving in two weeks; my dad's health is going downhill faster and faster everyday; friendships are changing; I'm changing. How do you deal with all that? The only thing I can do is pray, which is actually the best thing to do, but I haven't been doing much of that lately so that presents a problem. I think I've talked before about how you shouldn't try to deal with everything on your own and I'm finding out now more than ever that that is COMPLETELY true. If you do, please pray.
Other than that happy birthday to Peter! Tomorrow is a new day, a new creation. I just gotta remember to take advantage of that. Night all!
