Her Thoughts

UNCERTAINTY

"All day starin' at the ceilin' makin'

Friends with shadows on my wall

All night hearing voices tellin' me

That I should get some sleep

Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'

Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown

And I don't know why🎵🎵

My neighbor's music woke me up. I tried to sleep once more but I can't with their loud music so I decided to cook breakfast. While cooking, I've been thinking about where to get money to provide for myself now that I am jobless. I love my cashier job but unfortunately, the sale dropped so my employer told me to stop working in the meantime because of it. It's been 5 days since that bad news happened. It saddened me. I have been relying on my work since then to provide for my studies but now that it ended I don't know where to get financial assistance.

I can lie down all day and worry about the future, worry about where to get money to buy food, worry about everything. But then I realized that uncertainty is a natural and unavoidable part of life. We can't control everything that happens to us. One day things may just be fine, but the next day you are sick, you lost your job, or struggling with something.

I'm staring outside the window watching raindrops fall, It's been raining lately. I love the sound of rain, I love rain but too much rain can cause the flood. You see, Life is unpredictable. It remains uncertain. Fear and uncertainty can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, and powerless over the direction of your life. It can drain you emotionally and trap you in a downward spiral of endless "what-ifs" and worst-case scenarios about what tomorrow may bring.

Try to refocus your mind on taking action on the things that you have control of. When I lost my job I've been thinking nonstop about where to get a new one, I don't have any control over it so I started searching for online work, I've been sending resumes too though I still have no response from them, the point is, life didn't stop right there. When I became jobless, When you are sick, When you feel like giving up, life goes on. Of course, all circumstances are different and you may find that in some situations all you can control is your attitude and emotional response. 

Matthew 6:25 "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."

Psalms 55:22 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Instead of focusing about the problem try to focus on the solution. Focus on JESUS and let him do the rest. 

(Author's note: I've been so busy lately that I don't have much time to write HAHAHAHAH I attended prayer meeting last night and prayed for all my problems all I can say is that I'm feeling better now. I believe that GOD WILL PROVIDE <3)
