Delete Last Week

Last week was weird. There, I said it and I'm sure at least 10 people will agree. It was actually so strange that yesterday I stared at my ceiling and thought...Huh? What exactly happened last week, ma'am? I'm sure that 75% of the crystal rubbing LA folks will say "Mercury was in retrogade" but I'll be over here with the 25% that believe that sometimes the Devil is just busy. It's a whole new week now and I can certainly say it wasn't a terribly awful week but it was certainly a pile on of extremely awkward things that kept my mind occupied on everything but what was truly important. My mind was completely in the clouds so much so, that I rode on an empty tank of gas until my car refused to start. Lol!

It all started when someone I never thought I'd hear from again reached out to me. It literally stopped me in my tracks because although at one point I associated this person with a lot of painful memories, I truly thought I had healed and was a lot further along in my forgiveness process. When I realized I wasn't I immediately went into intense prayer mode, watched every sermon possible, played every worship song ever made and filled up on the word....still nothing. By Wednesday I realized that I was in a full-fledged- funk. It didn't help that many of my friends were calling me and no one had good news. Everyone was a bad news bear and highly emotional.. Everyone was on the opposite side of happy..Everyone wanted to vent and talk my ears clean off the side of my head and I wanted to do the same thing so we sat and complained. We were ultimately giving each other permission to be unhappy even though life has SO much good.

In the mist of my SHMOOD I received some amazing news that I had been waiting on. It was the confirmation I needed to stay the course and thirst ONLY for the promises of God. When I reflected on the past seven days I realized how silly it was to allow one thing to put me on edge. So whether your Mercury is retrograding or the devil is busy throwing bricks through your window always remember that it will always pass and good things are on the horizon. This week is going to be productive and wonderful!!
