I realised something in the weekend if I know what these are then why haven't I worked out strategies to combat them?? If they steal my joy every time THEN I should pray about it, read the WORD on it, work out some strategies to FIGHT BACK. If it's on my mind then I will get lots of opportunites to practice FIGHTING IT!
So if what I'm doing hasn't worked to remove the stress then I need to DO NEW THINGS! New strategies so I don't just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again....and getting nowhere!
This is my experiment. Feel free to join me. I will put my faith into practice and remove the two biggest stresses in my life. Hopefully what it will teach me is how to FIGHT BACK against any new strongholds that Satan tries to create in my life. It will set me free and help me to grow. I will see this as an OPPORTUNITY to practice my faith and not just a test that I fail every single time!
The two biggest stresses in my life are:
- my man
- my family
My man is my family but he is a category all on his own because he can stress me more than anyone I know....followed closely by my mum.
I think it's funny that out of all things that I could name that I named people, which means the biggest stresses in my life are relationships...this so tells me the kind of person I am.
I could have named my future, money, work, infertility, church, etc. But I named the two things which are most important to me. For me, this means the two biggest stresses in my life are what I love the most. It's the LOVE OTHERS part of my life mission....loving the imperfect...getting them to love me when I'm so imperfect....sounds like another post I wrote.
Gets back to the 3 words the LORD gave me for this year ACCEPT, SIMPLIFY AND BALANCE. That is scary...the way the LORD lines up everything in my life...and reveals the truth more and more.
first step: pray and study about it.
