What a blessing it is to sing Christian music in all types of situations and all types of events!! Not only do I get the chance to meet different people and have new experiences, the inspiring words that I regularly receive from the sermons, speeches and comments in these various settings have continued to give me strength to keep moving in this awkward, uncomfortable and sometimes just plain scary time in my life.
I remember being thrust into the world of adulthood and never really took the time to consider what was going on with retrospection to learn and move on--I have been one of those who move forward and just get it done. It works and is very effective, but in not looking at and considering what has been makes for a stress level that is like no other.
I have lived with the stress of being perfect--I've wrestled and struggled with trying to do everything to appear perfect in appearance and whatever job or duty I have been given. The problem is that I NEVER measure up to MY OWN expectations; so I would continually beat myself up over many aspects of my life, including this new phase in my life that is completely non-traditional and against the family's "Good Goverment Worker" lifestyle.
Have you ever read in the Bible where God says we should be perfect? If you've seen it, tell me, because I haven't!! Also, does God or anyone else in the Bible state that there are any material things that will elevate you or consider you to be a success or worthy?
Guilt, unrealistic perfection, perceived failure based solely on loss...too many things bring us down that have NOTHING to do with what God says about what we should do in His word!!!
We need to refocus our attention on what God says instead of what we think or the perceived thoughts and even words spoken by others!!!
Look for Gods validations...they will see you through and keep you going!!
ONWARD
