John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”.
Good Morning Family! Happy 1st Friday of the New Year! I hope and pray that everyone is doing well. Thankful to Our Heavenly Father that Damar Hamlin is recovering and Al Roker is back on The Today Show! Al had been sick for almost two months. But it’s so good to see him back.
Now I’ll get straight to the point. For today’s blog it’s okay not to be okay. Despite what you might see on social media, not everyone is jumping for joy or living their best lives. Some days, it’s hard for some people just to get out of bed. Some days, all you can do is rely on GOD’S strength to get you through the day because you’re so burdened down with the pressures of life. Whether it’s your own fault or other life circumstances which were out of your control, it’s hard.
Then if you withdraw from others, you’re being accused of things you didn’t do and when you try to explain to folks what’s really going, no one wants to hear you. Another thing you feel is that if you’re not on a certain level in life, sometimes you’re treated as a social pariah.
I’m here to tell you today family it’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to not feel positive and to trust the process. Process the hurt, the sadness and the disappointment, work through that pain, find a great therapist, relative or friend you can talk to and if you don’t have that, talk to GOD.
I learned the hard way that when I’m hurting, it’s hurting the people around me. Not expressing the disappointment, the sadness, and pain I’ve been feeling has truly hurt my family and friends. Now, of course, you don’t want to tell everyone your business, but those who are closest to you, those who truly love you will want to know. Sometimes you’re so hurt that you don’t want anyone to know. But it hurts those around when they don’t know what’s going on.
I say all of this to say family going into the new year, lets be more compassionate to each other and to be honest with our loved ones about where we are hurting. It’s the right step in the healing process. But more importantly let’s turn to GOD, our ultimate healer and counselor.
I love you all and GOD bless.
Love,
Taylor
