Hi everyone,
It feels so good to be back to Faithful Friday's. I thought it would be a good idea to share what's been going on with me over the past few months while I've been away. I'd love to tell you that I have been on vacation since then but that is not the case at all! Life has been super busy as it always is. Balancing work and home life can be hectic sometimes. I am one of those people that wants everything on a schedule and in order. When things are not that way I tend to get really anxious and overwhelmed. I was completely stressed out and one area of my life in particular was the culprit. The stress began taking a serious toll on my body and no one in my life, myself included was happy about it! I am in the process of re-evaluating the situation and am trying to be patient as I wait for a new door to open. I know some of you have been praying for me during this time and I can definitely feel the comfort of those prayers. Thank you all for that!
One thing that is really hard for me is feeling stressed, sometimes I feel like I am abandoned during overly stressful times. Even feeling like God is so far away. What I have realized is that HE isn't far away at all. He is very much still as close as He's always been. It's ME that moved. Not intentionally, but I was so focused on the stress that I wasn't focusing on Him and that's where I went wrong. I find it difficult to share my struggles with others, even those closest to me. Part of it is because I don't want to seem like a "cry baby" and dare I even say my pride gets in the way. Gulp! That's tough to admit. I would rather just suck it up and deal with it alone than put it on someone else. But you know what? God already knows what I'm going through so I don't have to necessarily tell Him about it but I do need to be honest with how I am feeling to Him but myself too. Just before I stopped blogging, I posted about taking prayer requests. Some of you might remember that. I found myself questioning Him and wondering why I was going through this phase of life. What are you doing God? What are you trying to teach me? Why is this happening? When will it end??
All of these questions constantly ran through my mind. I would pray and pray for peace, comfort, and patience. No matter how determined I was to not let the stress get to me, it would. I just didn't understand why this was happening and what I was supposed to gain from this. It was very frustrating and hard for me to wrap my mind around. What I have realized is that I don't need to understand why this is happening. All I can go is make the best out of this situation and praise God through it all. I know that there is something better in store for me. I know that He is keeping me in this situation for a reason and what I should be doing is showing others that He still deserves praise during trials.
So I am officially in what I like to call a "Season of Waiting" I am ready for a change but He isn't going to give it to me yet. I encourage any of you that are going through a similar situation to keep your head up. Even though it is so hard to do at times! Before we know it these times will be behind us and it wont seem like such a "big deal".
I am going to wrap this up here friends. Thanks for sticking with me for this quite long and ramble-ish post.
Until next time...
Xoxo,
Adela
