This Motivational Monday Moment is inspired by my sister girl who is going through some things. We talked last week and she was in good spirits where others may have been on the floor crying about their lot in life, she was keeping it in a positive perspective. Her response was “It could have been worse and God’s always got me.” Whew!
That was a testimony. So, I wanted to share that with you. I wanted to encourage you to put your circumstances and trials in a positive perspective. It’s easy to get disappointed and discouraged about things you’re going through. Heck, I’m going through some things now and I’m trying to remember that it could be worse.
Her attitude was such that she knew that no matter what the outcome of her situation that God’s got her. I was so amazed by it. Her positive perspective about her situation was what I needed to remind me that God’s grace is for everyone.
Here’s an example of how I utilized her advice…On Friday, I received an email from the after care provider stating that she left her cell phone at home. I forwarded the email to my ex-husband as he was picking up Munch from school that day to take him to get his haircut or so I thought.
He responded to me that he was not picking up our son and that he had gotten his haircut last week because his hair looked bad and he had an event. I was floored. Why wouldn’t you just send me a text and/or email and let me know that so I knew to pick up my son on time?
As you could imagine, I was H-O-T! Why the heck didn’t you tell me? You know the answer that I received “I thought I did.” If that wasn’t some cockamamie BS, I didn’t know what was. I said a prayer “God help me”. I thought about how I normally work late whenever I don’t have Munch and that he would have been sitting at school like a lost child because his father had failed to communicate.
You know what happened next? God showed me that I needed to put it in a positive perspective. How could I do that? By accepting that thankfully the director had contacted me and I had checked my email. That counted for something. My son wasn’t sitting there like an abandoned puppy. I smiled and thanked God.
No matter what my lot in life or the circumstances of my surroundings, God is and will always be God. It never changes. So, my Motivational Monday Moment is to remind you to put it in a positive perspective. No matter what is going on. Change your mindset and allow God to handle it.
Be blessed my loves!

What a great way to turn a situation to form a positive. That would make me hot as well! Good job!

Had to laugh.. My sister and I were supposed to go hang out with my other two sisters in Atlanta. y parents were doing a weekend getaway. But everything got cancelled because of a bridge burning in Atlanta. My sisters will gather some other time. We’ve been traveling a lot and I was ready to be to be home.

Sis, oftentimes when I post something positive or ‘deep’ that is my way of picking myself up–just as you are doing here. I figure, if I need it somebody else does too! Thank you!

I will certainly do that Sis. I always say a prayer for everybody that I have come to ‘know.’
