Get out of My Way

Every day I am faced with a bump, block, negativity (my own or someone else's) or some type of deterrent to my joy. We all face this in any given day. Whether it is a project that goes differently than we expected, a check that did not quite make it's mark (bounced like a rubber ball) or a child becomes sick; these are all our "stuff". We can let this "stuff" completely ruin our day OR we can scream at it "GET OUT OF MY WAY"!! My grand-daughter had a toy that was a little steering wheel and it literally had this annoying beep beep sound and then shouted, get outta my way.....

So, when these days happen and I can remember and keep my focus (this takes diligent prayer) - I hear that toy's voice in my head. I picture the bible verse Mathew 17:20 : He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

I may not have a mountain on that particular day, it may be a little hill but I know that GOD is so much bigger and way more tolerant than me. DEAR JESUS: Give me patience by knowing that you will remove my mountains and I can tell all that steals my joy to get out of my way. JESUS I ask these things in your precious name! Thank you JESUS for giving me what I do not deserve!
