Palm to Forehead Slap

How stinkin stupid am I? So ridiculously stupid! Seriously. I have spoken such nonsense! I can't let go. I have to be strong. I have to! I just want to burst out laughing from ym own stupidity. I know I have a long journey ahead of me, but I can do it! No more Negative Nancy! Or Debbie Downer! Or Melancholy Molly! Wow. Ok, so this thing came in the mail called a prayer rug. It's this paper with a pic of Jesus on it. The idea is you kneel on it and pray for financial blessing and then you put it back in the mail and send it back to the church it came from with money, and you would receive the blessing you prayed for. Huge scam. But there was this letter thingy that totally encouraged me! I think it's funny how God used someone else's evil ways to make a path for His will to be done. I threw the rug away but I kept the letter, as a reminder. I'm going to give you some of my favorite pieces of this letter.

"Loneliness is not the absence of affection; it is the absence of direction." So very true!
That's part of what the church people said. Then they had this prophetic word supposedly from God for me to receive. Not sure how prophetic it is, but I really liked it and most of it is true.

"Do not allow these things that are happening in you life come between us. Rather, understand that it is the things happening that should draw us closer together."

More letter: "You may have the uncomfortable feeling that you are just spinning your wheels in a certain personal situation...but you have not allowed the Holy Spirit to have complete acquisition to the problem...you have allowed too much personal and emotional involvement...this has made you too vulnerable..far more than you can see...and it is only through the Holy Spirit's guidance that you will in any way come out victorious."

"There are many things going on in your life all at one time, you are at a place where it is critical that you decide whether you will go with the Creator or let your faith go otherwise. God has big plans for you and Satan will do all he can to destroy these plans."

It may be a huge scam, but those words encouraged and lifted me! God certainly works in mysterious ways :) I have to change, I HAVE to. It's going to be tough, and painful, but it's pretty much crucial for me. Btw, if I may have offended anyone with my previous post, I am so sorry. I was upset and wasn't even thinking about what I was writing. Sorry :(

Here's to a hopefully new and changed and positive me! :)
