IS IT REALLY SO HARD

So my friends and l today at lunch were discussing how difficult life can be at times. Honestly, the way l see it, THIS LIFE IS LONG – all that talk about how short life is, is compete CRAP. Anyway, this friend of mine, Julia initiated the conversation by telling us that it took her a little over forty-five minutes to fall asleep last night. This was because she was extremely lost in thoughts about her life. Thoughts about school, life upon graduation, her thesis, family and friends, employment and the likes. I concluded from her conversation that she really didn’t have any worry. All her thoughts to me seemed so generic; especially for seth friends whom have wonderful choices. Choices to either continue with their academia or take a job offer, to me that seems like a graduation gift on its own. However, we human beings have a penchant need to create problems for ourselves. I wonder why we create troubles for ourselves by WORRYING. Someone once told me anger is the most useless emotion; then what is worry? Is it the second most useless emotion? Maybe that’s just the way life is supposed to be, maybe not? Maybe we have nothing better to think about, maybe not? Maybe we feel the need to look for ways to solve problems that are not there in order to keep our minds busy, maybe not? I could maybe all day, cause I’m not sure myself. However, one thing I’m sure of is prayer instead of worry.

Waking up today, the first thing l read sent by my sister was a very inspirational message that l thought it would be best to share:

 

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you. And, remember.... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day.
God

So, I’ve decided to do exactly what the message says. Maybe… No… Definitely whenever you feel the need to worry, why not follow this message.

BTW – What are you planning to give up for lent (a period of 40 weekday’s liturgical season from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday)? As l construct my list because February 17th is fast approaching, l have come up with a single item – MEAT! While my wonderful sister is thinking of giving up – FACEBOOK! LOL.. What are you thinking of giving up?
