Stress acts as an accelerator: it will push you either forward or backward, but you choose which direction.

I notice with each coming day I silently ask myself “how did you get here!” Meaning how did my home become filled with stuff! And! Most of the stuff I often stumble over I have no clue of what it is.
Well sometimes if I’m honest with myself, I got here because of many reasons. Most of those reasons can be found under “Being The Nice Person.” The issues I face today are because I tried to be a nice person. But, should I change? Absolutely! Not! I just need to realize that you can’t help everyone. As I learn to ask myself how my decisions affect my life and those I love and love me. Hence, there’s something to playing “the devil’s advocate!” Let’s pray!
Father God, your word says, “The Lord is a safe place for the oppressed–a safe place in difficult times.” We call your words into action. We speak them over our lives and the lives of our family. We ask that they hide us in your strength. Never letting bad days rob our mind, souls and spirits of giving you praise for being our protector. Amen
