Frustrated...You Too?

I'm frustrated y'all...yep, annoyed, tired of going in circles, just frustrated.

How about you? Some of y'all are too, hu?

I believe that I've done and still doing all that I know how to do. One of my frustrations entails me job searching. Job searching is a job within itself. I wish things were a little easier like they use to be. I would rather print off my resume', walk into the place of business, speak with someone about my qualifications and wait for them to call me back regarding the position. Now I have to job search online, establish a login account with the company, fill out the online application and then upload my resume which includes everything I put on the application and wait weeks or even months for them to call me back or to send me an email. I wait all of that time for them to say to me, "We've decided to focus on another candidate for this position". Blah, blah, blah...whatever!!

I try to refocus myself on other things that I need to handle. But then I get lost in my thoughts and then I have to talk to myself, which is cool because at least I know that I'm listening to myself! *smile* One thing I do know that I can always do is talk to my heavenly Father, Jesus Christ. If no one else will listen or understands, He truly does. He reminds me of all of His promises that He has for me. He reminds me never to give up, never to sit back and wait for things to happen and to never put my trust in anyone else but Him (Psalm 118:8).

A conversation with one of my brothers recently reminded me of something, and that is to not become content. I can't be content in anything that I want to do if I really want to do it and the reason is because if I become content then I'm settling. I can't settle working a job that I'm not happy with, I can't settle for mediocre relationships of any kind, I can't settle with giving God second best in my life because He deserves so much more from me and even from you. He's not a "second best" God. What if He put me second to others or things?

Even in my frustrations, I'm learning to trust God...wait on Him. Isaiah 40:31 states, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." (Living Translation)

In my waiting, my strength is being increased as well as my faith. I will become stronger spiritually and mentally. I will fly high above my frustrations and I will get my second wind and keep on trucking! *smile*

So, me being frustrated has to come to an end. Why? Because if I'm trusting in God like I say and I am doing my part then I know that I shall reap a great harvest in the end. I'm going to end my frustrations by focusing on how to get rid of them. That's through hard work, dedication and keeping a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

What are you frustrated about? Well guess what? Let it or them go right now and let's get rid of the frustrations together.

Praise Your Own Pond!

Who are you praising? I'm a firm believer that you praise individuals who are deserving and who earn the praises. Praise is defined as the act of expressing approval or admiration. Everyone likes to be praised for the good things they accomplish. Whether it's a child that did good on a report card, a teen passing their driving test, that man proposing to his girlfriend, a marriage, graduation...I can go on an on. All of these things listed are worth praises. Do we praise people for the "good" that they do or do we sit and spew hate or negativity towards them? There's a saying that states, "It's a poor frog who doesn't praise its own pond", I agree. Why wouldn't you praise yourself for your own accomplishments? If you can't praise yourself for the "little" or "big" things that mean a lot to you, that means you can't genuinely praise anyone else for theirs. You have to start with yourself first. Even if it's a ...

Shake it like a Polaroid Picture

Last Christmas I was gifted with a Polaroid Camera that I requested. I use to admire the Polaroid Camera's when I was a kid; I never had one but I always wanted one. To finally have my own personal Polaroid, it was nostalgia. I started making plans for all of the candid pictures I would take with my new camera and since it was Christmas, I was looking forward to all of the instant pictures I would have on that day. I have used my Polaroid a lot since Christmas; I even had to get more film. The best part of having my Polaroid Camera is watching the picture come out and watching it develop right before my eyes. The anticipation of what the picture is going to look like; is it too dark, too light or did it develop just right? Making sure the camera's settings are correct before taking the pictures make a big difference. Sometimes the pictures can develop too dark or too light; both make it hard to see the image. Having messed up a lot of pictures due to the wrong setting can be ...

"Easy[Like Sunday Morning]"

I've been thinking about this song a lot lately and wondering what was Lionel Richie thinking when he penned this tune. Did Lionel Richie attend church on Sunday mornings?! Some of my Sunday morning's aren't easy at all. Lol! They are filled with trying to decide what to wear to church, how I'm going to do my hair, how my hair is going to turn out, if I'm going to like how I'm going to even look for church, do I want to attend the 8am or 11am service, etc.  Although some of my Sunday mornings aren't "easy", I don't allow the uneasiness to hinder me from attending church. The bible says in Hebrews 10:25 for Believers (Christians) to not skip church services and to encourage other Believers to attend church services as well. We are to surround ourselves with one another because we can uplift and empower each other. We get our teachings and motivations from listening to God's Word; listening to and applying His Word not only makes our Sunday...
