'Emotional'

Ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong? Everything you touch turns to mush. You can’t make sound decisions. All you want to do is crawl back into bed.

Well, get up! Brush yourself off! Exhale! Make a fresh pot of coffee and drink up! Go to your quiet place… Whatever it takes to get back on track, do it! Don’t be conquered.  You are the conqueror. You set the standards. You set the pace. You don’t know who is watching you. You don’t know who is looking up to you. You don’t know who is thinking “I want to be like her/him when I grow up.” You just don’t know.  Therefore, seek and find the tiniest thread of hope- tie a knot and hold on. Push forward.  Find the strength you need to continue. This slump you’re feeling is only temporary… just a block, not a bombardment. There is a difference.

Find that passion you know you already possess. You haven’t lost it… only misplaced that fuel, fire, energy, the oomph to forge on.  

Also remember it’s okay to feel this way, as we are all human and have ‘those days.’ Just don’t wallow in self-pity.  We all go through it. Don’t lose your focus. Don’t let anyone hamper or dampen your spirit.

So mixed up,

So confused

You’re hoping your heart

Will not be abused

Putting your trust

Yet again in man

Forgetting that only

One Man can

Fulfill your hopes

Fulfill your dreams

Lord, please help

Set us all free

From doubts

From fears

Remind us of possibilities

If we’d listen and hear

The words… Your words

Over and over again

‘I can do all things…’

And we know we can

If we block out all

The negativity of man

If complete faith and trust

Is put in You

Piercing our hearts

Through and through

Freeing the mind

Freeing the spirit

Of distrust when

We can’t get rid of it

And remind us too, that

‘This too shall pass’

When the fog clears,

Free at last!

Remember, the things

You go through

Are trial and error

You can’t let it control you

With fear, with terror

Let go, give Him

The okay to teach

Again, lessons you have

Already heard preached

That you are not alone

He’s got your back

That you are not infallible

And that’s a fact

That we are all human

Emotions will come

Even if we can’t identify

Where they’re coming from

…just Emotional
