As we know life isn't always great, happy, fun, exciting, or good. It sometimes just SUCKS! Yes, I said it! You sometimes are so deep under water that you can't even get your head above the water. I've been there and sometimes have days there. But you can't continue to live there. Its okay to have a bad day or a bad week. Its part of life. As I've grown in my journey of living in freedom and recovery from different addictions, my perspective has shifted. As I've said I still have bad days but I don't have live there anymore. I truly try to enjoy this journey and find the good out of it. God has given me a sense of JOY throughout this journey. And He can also give you that joy.
God has brought me to a point in my journey where I can sit back and not be consumed by my addictions each day. I can enjoy food, family, friends, and LIFE. What a freeing place to be. Even on the hard days they aren't nearly as challenging as they used to be.
Taking small steps each day is the key. Start off surrendering your day to the Lord. When that first negative thought comes to your mind, take it to God and let him help you through the moment. Call a friend who understands your struggle and will encourage you. Distract yourself with another fun activity. There are ways to enjoy your journey. Its finding those things that will help you push through the hard moments!
For me personally enjoying my journey has taken many years of hard work. So please don't think it will happen overnight for you. Know hard work pays off and you will find that peace, joy, and love for your journey! Keep working hard!!!
