STOP... DROP... ROLL

Saturdays With GOD

Hey Family! I missed you guys so much, and I apologize for leaving without so much as la dear John letter, without a word, nothing; I was wrong. I'm so sorry and I ask you to forgive me.

Alright, baby, I'm back, not going anywhere! I know what you are asking, Ashlea, where you been? Great question, I'm glad you asked, I've been going through the storm, the wrong way. It's not about the storm, everyone has storms, everyone goes through life's difficulties; it's normal. And if you are telling me you aren't going through storms, you are either fresh out or you are sitting in the calm before the storm. Either way, either way, you know what I'm taking about. I see you nodding your head... but here's the thing, I've been going through these storms, tests, trials, all wrong, that's the problem; and this is where we begin today.

Ok, ok, I see you, your question is, how do you go through a storm or fire wrong?

1. By Panicking

2. By Fighting the storm

3. By Stopping, sitting, living in the storm

Can I just tell y'all, family, I've been going about this ALL wrong. I mean, I almost, always panic but not in a running around screaming type panic. With me, you don't see it, but the stress and anxiety shows up in my work and in my body. My body is racking with pain, I'm not sleeping good and I am anxious for everything. My work and productivity suffers horribly. Then I try to dispute the situation, I'm calling customer service, the help desk, doing everything to fight it; in straight combat mode. This adds more stress, because everything I'm doing... it ain't working! Finally, I'm so tired, overwhelmed and out matched that I sit down and just let the storm wash clean over me. I began to live in that space, feeling completely defeated and oppressed which turns into depression. WRONG!

I had to learn a new way, or rather the right way to go through storms or fires.
