Arise and Shine

Battles must be waged daily against most relentless foes. Delayed buses and trains, bad weather, annoying colleagues at work…the list goes on but this doesn’t mean we are to drain ourselves.
Giving up in an effort to be positive is not an option, if anything it demands for courage, determination, ceaseless vigilance and undaunted hope.
This is naturally of course easily said than done and a motivating factor would be the knowledge that shining in the midst of darkness wins us victory and eventually happiness.
Someone has said “You don’t get experience till after you need it” but in this case I can refute it as I have acknowledged that I already come from a position of victory and try my best not to allow dilemma intimidate me. This sounds arrogant but perhaps to throw more light it is more with faith that this attitude is taken; faith in the knowledge that God almighty is with us and we have a hedge of protection around us. Being in such a confident position obviously opens doors for conflict and spiritual warfare and this is the reason we should stand and wage unceasing war giving good for bad.

At my work place is a daily challenging situation in the name of an elderly colleague who likes to act like everything rotates around her or better still that she is some kind of all knowing mini god. Words can’t describe how hard it is to as much as get on with her and instead of letting her steal my joy each morning I have retaliated by being meek.
Not very easy but it has worked for me after all we spend half our life times at work so why let one woman spoil it .And trust me my acting the fool has melted her revealing a new tender side of this lady. To make it even better other people have adapted my style and the work environment is a merrier place to be.
This whole experience has been very humbling and above all taught me that when we take offence we block our blessings.
Think about it focussing on the negative will keep me in one position as I will be stranded thinking to and around the offence where I could have done uplifting things for a smoother sailing. So there goes let's keep above the negative.
