When The Little Things Outweigh the Big
Hello There!
Two days in a row, look at me, that's more than I've done in quite a long time! Just popping on here to say that although I'm sure tomorrow I may feel really crappy and find it a little hard...or maybe even tonight...right now I'm feeling pretty positive so I want to get this out. Maybe it'll help someone who reads it, or maybe it'll help me later when I'm feeling a little more under the weather than I am right now, regardless, here it goes.
So today I woke up with a horrible migraine...still have a decent headache/borderline migraine....and feeling pretty dizzy, but my sister-in-law messaged me and ended up taking me over to her place to see my niece and visit which was awesome. Then I got home, went out and got a few errands done...which made me feel worse, but I'm very grateful I was able to get that done. Then came home to eat and am now able to rest and listen to Kane Brown's new album Experiment on repeat which I've been waiting for, for FOREVER (which anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge Kane Brown fan)!
All of this to say, I woke up feeling horrible and still don't feel well, but I've gotten to visit my niece and sister today, was productive in running in errands, have eaten and was able to get food from the store, have a bed to rest in now that I'm home, and have new Kane Brown music to listen to (which puts a huge smile on my face)….plus I'm loved and cared for by the Creator of the universe and He is providing for me in ways I don't even think about and take for granted daily....especially with a migraine and dizziness that screw up my ability to think clearly. haha!....but really though, if we aren't grateful for the little things, we won't be grateful for the big things guys. I lived more broke than I am now for years and in smaller of a place, and I chose that life because I was passionate about the ministry I was apart of (still am) and I'd do it all again in heartbeat....but my point is, that you can't think that, if you just have this or that that THEN you'll be happy...or if this event happens in your life you'll be satisfied with life because if you aren't satisfied with who you are and your life at seemly rock bottom you will never be satisfied. It is all about perspective and the contentment of your heart.
I'm not saying I have it all figured out and I'm always positive....I often have panic attacks trying to fall asleep lately and sometimes I don't even know what triggered it and all I can think is that if my boyfriend was living up here it'd be okay...even though I know whatever is causing it wouldn't go away just because he was home, or even if they did, they'd come back eventually, because I didn't get to the roots I just masked it with a quick fix of a security blanket. Obviously, it'll take time to figure it all out....it's probably mostly because of unknowns with my health, but figuring out what, isn't going to fix it instantly,but being positive during the day more, again, is a good start.
I wish that whatever you are going through today, you can find the joy....even it just one positive per negative, that is really all it takes to start seeing a change in your perspective of your day and ultimately your life. I hope that my thoughts for the day could be of some encouragement to you and that you know the true joy that comes from knowing the One who holds tomorrow!
Until Next Time!
