HURTS AND WORRIES
I got an e-mail this morning and it really spoke to my 'spirit'. (If my brother reads this, i can bet my last kobo that he would roll his eyeballs and say 'there she goes again' she and her spirit thingy). In case y'all dont already know, i've got a spirit and it tells me stuff. My brother's real grouse is that my spirit tells me only when and how to spend money lavishly. I hope the choice of the word lavish makes it sound like i've got loads of dough. If it does, then fantastic, that was the whole idea.
Back to the e-mail that spoke to me and my spirit. The e-mail questioned how we handle our anxieties and hurt. What do we really do with the emotions and how do we react when these issues come up - because they are bound to.I think I should get the award for sweeping such feelings underneath the carpet like they don't exist because for me, that is the only way to react - not necessarily the best. I like to go through life with an attitude that says only good things can happen to me.

However, the reality of life is that there is no life with a permanent experience of tranquility and joy. There are ups and downs, happiness and sorrow and as the child in us would like to put it, good and bad. I have come to believe that the only way we can handle these times are when we have the true conviction that indeed God knows best. And to the queries as to whether or not there is truly a God, the only answer lies in creation. Definitely somebody put the beautiful blue skies up there, and the same person probably gave us the green fields and the lilies. There is no doubt that indeed there is a Higher Being. What you call him does not really matter. Your unfailing conviction in Him is the key.
Your soul will remain untroubled when you have a firm conviction that He knows best and that everything He allows is governed by His loving heart. What God allows may hurt you, but it will NOT harm you. Because everything works out for your own good.

P.S
This goes out to the families whose lives have been affected by the Hurricane Katrina and to my family who lost a brother, husband, father and uncle. God knows best.
