When life knocks you down and the devil enters in your head, at the moment when you feel like your life is done and there isn't much you can do. When you say I AM DONE and the tears start rolling down your face. That's where the breaking point begins but what do you do? Do you start tearing yourself down or do you try to get yourself back up? About a month ago I went through some doubting of my own self during a situation and something that I have been born with. During this situation God shifted me in such an amazing way I must say during this time when I was going through this I learned two things SELF LOVE & SELF ACCEPTANCE. So I would like to share my experience and what I went through and how I overcame this small little thing that I let overtake my life. So many of you know and many don’t know but I was born deaf in my right ear and with being deaf it lead to a few things, the main thing that it has affected my education and in the way I learn well with that being said I have been struggling in a certain class and so I was going to go through a program that might help me. During this process of applying to the program and filling out all the paperwork, I reached a breaking point, where I started feeling frustrated and putting myself down for something that I was born with. Sunday, February 18, 2018, in our Sunday serving I started feeling God’s presence. We started singing this song called so will I by Hill song United as I sang this song so much overwhelming and emotions went through my body. On February 21, 2018, was a very significant night and the way God connects things, at our young adult service we had a guest service by the name of Ty Buckingham and at the end of the service he did a prayer. He felt that God shared with him to pray for certain things that night. So the three things were people who were deaf, partial hearing and back problems. If anyone had those he wanted to go up to the stage so he and the rest of everyone could pray for us. So, of course, I went up, he started praying over my ear that there would be healing and that I would be able to hear out of that ear one day. That week was the week I would call so powerful from the two sermons. That made a shift in my life view and the way I see myself.
So concluding this we all deal with something that could be so small or so big in life that’s puts us down deep in the pits of life. Which one is not very healthy and two we block people who would want to be there for us or who can help us get out of this messy mindset, it honestly it all goes back to the dirty little devil who starts it all! What we need to do is stand firm and talk to the devil I know that sounds crazy but this what we need to say, DEVIL, YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN MY LIFE! In all, we have the power inside us to conquer this world and things that were meant for us. Like it says in the bible we are all made for a purpose. We may not what the purpose it yet, but one day we will find what it is. What I want you all to get from this learning to love yourself no matter what and to accept where you are in life. I think we struggle with this on daily basis, but I want this to be an encouragement to push forward and not to look back on life or blame something because you don't fit society view of where they want you in life. I can finally say I am the happiest person and where my life is right now and each day I am grateful for everything. I hope this helps someone out there in the world! Thank you for taking time to read this.
