Flip the switch

Good morning!

I had driven to work early in the morning and talked to a friend. I could sense multiple frustrations that were pouring out and the more I expressed those frustrations, the worse I started to feel. I do know that venting can be helpful. I also know when it turns into a pity party.

As I went through my morning, I sent a few dart prayers to God about it. I asked for forgiveness and just to feel better. Pretty soon, I was on the phone with a patient who started to ask me some questions very off topic. She asked me how I deal with anxiety apart from medications, since she’s trying to stay minimal with medications in all health aspects. I mentioned a few things but said that I pray and try to get in the moment instead of disasterizing the future. God is here now and in this moment with me and He has already been in the future. Now, in the medical field I am careful to only answer things like this when people ask how I  handle things for myself. Personal testimony is not giving advice nor forcing our opinions on other people. And, if it turns into a situation where we cannot share our own personal testimony at work because it somehow offends someone, then I will gladly move on to another way of working. However, I have not had anyone get upset with me yet when they ask what I do and I share what I do. (I am a little concerned that this may not always be the case as the climate of culture has changed….but, I will not bow down to current culture.)

She said “I knew there was something different about you! I knew there was a reason I love you!”

I don’t say anything about this to toot my own horn but just to say that God knows just how to touch you in the way you need it, when you need it. He flipped my attitude around very quickly. Also, staying in my moment was critical. I tend to think too far ahead and miss out on the moment to moment things that are such a blessing. Being able to say out loud our faith is a strong encouragement to ourselves as well!
