Disappointment Part II

Recently, I wrote a blog post on Disappointment.
I mentioned that I am learning to call a spade a spade and learning to acknowledge it.
It did not work out as I had hoped, but I have options.
I am learning to stop in the middle of the mess, and say, “SURRENDER”.
​I am learning to stop and pray, “What are my options?”.
I am learning when I get snagged. I must be aware so I don't hand my power to a person and blame them.
I am learning to take responsibility and own what stole my peace, joy, and happiness.
I am learning to communicate my needs and wants.
I am learning to prepare myself because I may not receive what I need or want. People owe me nothing.
I could communicate it without holding them responsible.
I could accept that life happens. Let it go and move on.
I could become more aware of this feeling.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart. (Colossians 3:15)
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
Each moment is a gift.
I can pause, check in with my heart, and consider my options.
God always has something better.
