"Cease to be a Victim."

Hi Gentle Reader it's me, I'm back again. I have been under the weather for a bit and time just seems to get away. But I'm glad I'm back and will try to post more regularly as my Alzheimer's allows.

The title of my post gentle reader, "Ceased to be a Victim", brings a lot of things to mind doesn't it?

Today I'm thinking about wasting energy. We have had lots of opportunity the last month to do that with all the things that are happening in Washington and are still going on. But remember God is in control.

Wasting energy worrying about what you cannot cannot do  only leads to frustration and resentment.

Instead, accept how the law of cause and effect influences your own life, your relationships, successes and disappointments. It is much more satisfying to be engaged in your own destiny rather than the lives of others.

Gentle reader, you have control over your own life, so concentrate on that. Knowing that you are in the drivers seat guarantees peace of mind. Know that God has everything under control and nothing happens by accident. Know that God only wants the best for you and will deliver it if we only have faith.

God says that he will provide for our every need, not want. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, tell God, "here I am used me and thank you for providing all my needs today."
