Good Morning! Welcome to another Sunday Mornings post. It has been quite the week for me. The first favorite for me this week has got to be the book of Matthew.
1. Book of Matthew
This week my patience was tested. To give a background to it I have to attend a day treatment program twice a week and I choose to live in a place where I am provided service for treatment as well. I am a pretty well tempered individual and am not used to being around people who scream and harass everyone. However with being provided these services I come into contact with people who are just like this. Well, one of the individuals really triggered me to react just like they do by yelling and raising my voice. I won’t go into any further detail than that just to protect HIPAA rules but I hope you have an understanding. You see raising my voice and acting just like that person didn’t mean I was winning the argument. No, it meant that Satan won that fight because I wasn't being a Christian and I wasn’t serving God by my actions, I was serving my pride. Sometimes we will come into contact with individuals who are so twisted and angry and instead of fighting fire with fire we need to just learn to let it go. We need to learn to understand that there will be people who just don’t get it and it’s not our job to fix them or correct them. They need to learn on their own how to be humble, kind, and respectful individuals. I’ve been reading and studying the Book of Matthew and in the book is a verse that states, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” It was so easy for me to get caught up in anger and let that control what I said but what I’ve learned from this situation is to hold my tongue and speak only words of kindness for that is what I truly am to the core and allow whoever the devil is using to test me to speak their words of emptiness. Not only that but forgive them for their actions and learn from it on how to be a better Christian. It doesn’t make me weak on the contrary it makes me stronger by disciplining myself to be a light and only to speak light into the world. If you feel as though you are struggling with something similar to this situation remember to stay strong and do not let someone else’s pain and anger change who you truly are.
2. Sketching
I’ve been quite stressed out about the next chapter of my life and to help distract myself from the nerves I’ve prayed about it and started to use my hobbies as a healthy distraction. I sketched this image from a pin I saved on Pinterest and it was incredibly stress-relieving.
Do you have any hobbies that help you relieve stress? If so let me know what they are in the comment section down below!
3. Inspirational and Motivational Video
I like to watch videos of nursing students, law school students, and med school students. I find a lot of them helpful for study tips and how to manage my time better. I came across this video in my subscription box this week and found it really inspiring and motivational to work hard to reach my goals so I thought I’d share it on here if you’re in a rut and need something to motivate you to accomplish your dreams.
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
