Have you ever been faced with a 'What if"? Well I have, all week long and all of last week. The thought of, what if I hadn't lost my money, what if my job deposited my check directly into my account instead of giving me a paper check, what if every step I took forward didn't result in me being knocked 3 steps back, what if feeling like a failure didn't make me second guess my daily mantra, what if... Gosh it's like can a girl catch a break? Honestly I'm trying, but I'm struggling. Its hard to stay so positive in my thinking! It's like when I plan to do something toward this great change of 2021, someone comes up behind me and sticks a 'kick me' sign on my back. I know what you're thinking and no I'm not giving up and I'm not going to stop looking on the bright side. To think about it, what if all this inconvenient, disappointing, bad luck of a hand didn't have to be as stressful as I'm making it? There is a time and a season for everything and at the beginning of the year I really believed it was my time, no, it still is, because 'I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me! I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me! I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH ME!" (My mantra) What if this year I meet my first goal of 30 subscribers in 30 days, what if I start and finish a collection of paintings that are sold for more then a few pennies, what if God blesses me with a stronger prayer life where I get to be closer to him, what if when problems come my way I only see the positive, what if, I don't know, what if I don't have to write another blog about the struggles of an up and coming artist? The only reason things look this bad is because I've been looking at them through old eyes. If anything these old eyes should be reminding me that I have overcame worst. When It looked like the light at the end of the tunnel wasn't there, it was just because I was looking back at all that happened instead of looking at all the possibilities that were ahead. Am I making any sense? Is there anyone listening? Well I guess it is 2:30 in the morning, you're probably asleep or on your phone watching Tiktok videos, either way, for those of you who follow me, thanks. You just don't know what your support does for me. Again Thank you for letting me ramble.
