What to Do?

There are many things that happen to us that we really never understand.  When that happens to me I try to go through this list of things to make sure I am keeping a proper perspective in my mind.  This helps me keep my spiritual focus when it seems a bit askew or if I feel threatened in anyway.

1. Pray about the situation.
2. Understand that you really aren't in total control of any situation.
3. Listen to those involved in your life who love you.
4. Keep an open mind concerning your status in the situation.
5. Don't react but walk through the situation and weigh out the possible outcomes as to the direction God would want you to chose.
6. Understand that you have and will continue to make mistakes.
7. Strive to be God's child in every situation that arises.
8. Know that even people you love and who love you are still human and have feelings as well, even when they seem to over or under react to your situation.
9. Know that this life is to be lived with a goal in mind that is yours to claim or refuse.
10. Take your time in making decisions and strive not to become overwhelmed with the possible outcomes on the good or bad side of things.
11. Understand that once your mind is made up on the problem you are facing and your plan to take care of it seems to be apparent, pray again and again.
12. Let God work through you, don't try to force the direction of the situation.  Allow yourself to look and seek God's leading and then follow what you see.

I hope this helps you the way it has helped me over the years.

I'll see you later!
