The Antidote for Having A Bad Day

Since most of what I post comes from the heart; what I go through in my personal life, will frequently spill over into what I write. For the last month, I have experienced what some call, “Writer’s Block”.  I would like to think of it as, Stressed Out! Writing is what I use when my world appears to be closing; it’s the one sure thing that I can use as a sounding board. And the sounds that come from it are anger, fear, injustice, spirituality, love and family. So if I’m not able to write, I know that I’m in a bad spot. So what do you do when you’re in this spot? You do what I did; you fixate, ruminate, exaggerate, and rehearse all the negative situations in your life and pick at the scabs of past regrets, until you’re left with open, emotional wounds all to yourself. And that is where I was UNTIL;

I learned a new phrase that sounded kinda sassy; allowing me to put some attitude behind it. That phrase was, Hallelujah Anyhow ! You probably want to know how I used that phrase; well it goes like this;

I didn’t get the raise or the promotion but Hallelujah Anyhow!

I got stuck in the middle of rush hour traffic but Hallelujah Anyhow!

I haven’t spent time reading God’s Word but Hallelujah Anyhow!

I still got issues with getting upset with people but Hallelujah Anyhow!

I feel like I’m all alone, since I’m not married but Hallelujah Anyhow!

My kids seem to busy to call me for my birthday but Hallelujah Anyhow!

Are you starting to get the picture? You see, when we decide to offer praise in spite of our circumstances, the enemy understands that it’s useless to attack you because you have a Hallelujah Anyhow Spirit. Serve notice to the devil, letting him know that since he didn’t make you, he can’t break you! Hallelujah Anyhow!
