What motivates me when I am facing a difficult and stressful period in my life? Any time I have a problem to solve or plan to work on something that needs to be done, with Gods help, I keep at it until it is complete! I ask God to help me and keep me focused on the solution, no matter how hard it is or how long it takes. As I have gotten older, I have learned to take it in steps, a little one day, a little another day, until it is complete. I am usually able to keep on track and grounded. It is like I don’t have a choice to give up!
Over a period of three and one half years, I lost several members of my family! Some people asked me how I could go on. My simple answer was, “I had no choice”! Things had to be done and I needed to take care of them! I think that I am motivated by seeing a problem and wanting to do what I can to solve it!
I have had counseling which has helped me and I have trust in the Lord! My grief continues especially at anniversary dates, however I do not dwell on my sadness. My life has been wonderful, and I am able to move on!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for helping me through difficult and stressful times. Please guide me to be helpful to others in need. Amen
