July thoughts

Hi there.
HoASw is your day going?
I hope that it's been a good one.
I've been racing around town, trying to get my things sorted, for the move down south.
Which I'm really excited about.
On my list of things, were to go to the panel beaters, and get my car fixed from a nose to tail crash that happened down in Invercargil. It's not a bad dent, or bad mark, and perhaps it's best to let it slide, and show mercy.

It is only a car, and if you asked me, 2 years ago, and the same thing happened, what would be my answer?
I'd be hypercritical, and nasty, about it.
Now I can let it slide.
 After all I did do some damage to my car, and it's less money to pay compared to the  driver that went back into me.

Some things in life are hard to swallow, and hard to go through, and sometimes we go through things that aren't always easy or our way of doing things.

Sometimes we make our own human mistakes, our own ways in life, and we beat ourselves up about it.

One thing that God is teaching me, are challengers, we are faced with them everyday, our emotions, how we see ourselves, how we see others, how we are kind to others, and how we accept it.
How we  extend grace to people.

That might need it more than we do, or we might need a huge dose of it.
As you can see, a lot of things are going through my head.

Keep it all juggling in the air,  can be tiring, you're always trying to please others, yourself, and provide for others, and yourself. It can be a recipe for burnout.

We snap, we argue, we hide away, and we just sweep things under the carpet, until the things that are there, are a big hump and when we walk over the carpet, we trip up.

One thing about going to going to a good workout is that you're focused on one particular routine, and all the things that bug you and annoy you, have melted away.

You learn not to carry on anyone else's problems, and you leave them at the gate, at work, and at home.

I was always wanting to fix people, fix certain situations,  and I discovered very quickly that you can't always do that.

Now I'm into a new phase of life, and it's exciting, and looking towards new things.

So my thoughts are, to you are whatever you're doing, just hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

God's got your back.
