Believe this or not , I do hold a lot back from the world , only posting what I want people to know . That's the problem nowadays , people let all their dirty laundry out to dry and then are shocked that people talk .
I was very skeptical about social media back then and had no desire to become part of the " in crowd " , but I am very glad I listened to my son , Joey .
I struggled during my second bout with cancer . It seems I was attacked from every angle , experiencing problems with my FMLA paperwork and my anger regarding the cancer's comeback . Trust became the theme and being positive a huge hurdle to overcome .
Turning The Negative Into Positive
So far , today , has been very trying . Just when I thought all the paperwork has been taken care of....BAM.....it's not . There is so much red tape , who can keep track of all
this ? It shouldn't be like this ! You shouldn't be swimming in red tape ! A person should be concentrating on healing ! UGGGH!
This is all my fault . My inability to deal with issues . I know this is God's way of having me face and deal with it . Learning to trust HIM . Learning to leave all my troubles with HIM . I read once that when we ask God to teach us a particular " thing " we also need to ask him for mercy as we go through it . Teach me trust , Lord , but show me mercy first !
As bad as today has started out , I really am trying to stay positive . I keep telling myself that the latest snag is just a minor delay . Trust , Lottie , trust . With a renewed hope in my heart , I went on Facebook .
Now , I have to admit that it took a lot of persuading from my children to join Facebook . You all should know by now how I am . I hate filling out forms...why can't they just log me in themselves ? I have to admit that when I finally did , I BECAME A JUNKIE !
I have been criticized for being too open . For putting it out there . Everyone knows my business . I don't believe that I'm saying anything wrong or bad about others .The era of our mothers where everything was kept hidden and SSSSHH and not talked about is over . How are our children , our daughters gonna learn if we don't talk ?
Like my Pastor , I just went off track .Sorry .
First thing I see on Facebook is someone 's comment on how difficult of a day they had . Second thing I see is the comments people wrote to uplift this person . To me , this is what its all about . There are so many negative things in our lives , we need to let it out so others can help us turn it into something positive .
This journey of mine isn't just about me . It's also about the people around me . Maybe , there is someone out there that is feeling and going through the same thing . Maybe , they need to be uplifted . Maybe , the people in their lives want to know what their thoughts are . Maybe , someone out there already went through a journey similar to mine and they have some advice for me . Whatever it is .....I just want my journey to mean something .
Last night , I made a discovery about myself ......the trust issue . Today , I want to start changing how I deal with things . How do I acquire that trust ? Well , today, I'm turning this negative day into something more positive . I ' m trying not to stress out . It will work out . I want to place all my Faith into the Lord .
One thing , I don't want to do is shut myself away from people and not talk about it . That's not gonna happen , sorry .
Have a Blessed day everyone .
