Life Made Easy

Is there such a concept? Do we complicate life by our expectations? Or is life just complicated. If you measure your expectations with what other wants out of you…then yes it is complicated. If you measure your life with what you don’t have compared to what others have…then yes it’s complicated.  There is one thing you must know about me I make the best out of some of the most difficult situations. I make the best out of what I have.  It takes the power out of defeat, failure, and disappointment when you bring forward the GOOD you find your worth. Is that easier said than done? No…you have to train your mind to think this way.

As a single mom, money was tight at times. I remember one day, in particular,  it was a day before I got paid. I did not have the money to pay the light bill and it was disconnected when I got home from. My son was about 2 or 3 at the time. I didn’t panic. I put my mind in the right place and began making…the worst of the best experience.  It was warm outside thank God and I had a closed in porch with a BBQ grill. I made pallets on the porch and lit the grill and we made dinner on the grill. Now to my son it was camping to me it was survival, yet it was the best out of a bad situation. Reality I have many stories like this but I look back and thank God for wisdom on how to see the light rather than the darkness.

I have seen my fair share of “life made easy” by way of God’s favor. Times when I did not see the silver lining. BUT GOD!!! My Mom use to sing a song “I’m Blessed” the lyrics in the song that stand out the most to me is

” I may not have houses and wealth and I may not have all my strength and health. But I know I am blessed, better than blessed THANK  you Lord”

This is so profound to me is because I look at what life has afforded me and I thank God for those blessings, not for what I don’t have but what is right in front of me. This makes life, the present moment bearable. I want more out of life not so much in possessions as experience. Experiences I can take with me and share with others, simple yet true.

How do you uncomplicate your life? Made Easy is about how you look at a difficult situation.  Do you see hope at the end? Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Life made easy is trusting God
