Life is difficult. Money problems, bearing the burdens alone, dealing with adult children who really don't understand me, an exhusband, and a demanding job. Only a few of the issues I find myself facing on a daily basis. However, I know I am exactly where God wants me to be. I a had a dream full of meaningless events and over the course of several weeks every event has come to pass. Not one of the events has any meaning to me except to reaffirm the fact that God is watching over me and guiding me.
My most recent event happened today. This month has been difficult and the past week I wasn't feeling well, I had an uexpected bill which strained my already strained finances, my workload was intense, and all of this combined with the normal life problems. This week I was not the easiest person to deal with. I barked at two different people in my office and I am avoiding everyone else since my patience...well ... I don't have any patience at the moment.
Today, from an unexpected source I received the following message:
A wise Cherokee elder was speaking to his grandson about life. He told him that each person has two wolves that live inside of us.
The first Wolf is called Evil. Evil is jealous, petty, angry, impatient, selfish, self absorbed, mean, dishonest, and focus's on all of the negative things in life.
The second Wolf is called GOD: God is kind, patient, generouse, loving, understanding, honest, and his focus is on all of the positive things life has to offer.
The grandson asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The grandfather answered, "Whichever one we feed."
That caused me to look at my day with a new perspective and left me feeling ashamed of my self pity. It also renewed my faith that God is watching me and I am exactly where God wants me to be.
