#ThankfulThursday: Unhappy
Posted by Tomi O on Thursday, November 20, 2014 with 10 comments
Hallo People,
I am torn between being totally honest or following the aww-so-my-life-is-happy-on-the-internet trend. But I have been giving the impression on here lately that nothing is going great with me, but then I don't want to join the band wagon of masking the truth. As much as I am not great great right now, I am not depressed in anyway or sad. Still, I choose vulnerable, I choose to be truthfully about where I am at the moment.
So, In that light.....
I cried last night.
Well, more like sobbed. I can be a cry baby sometimes.
But, I just feel like the universe needs to give me a break. All I see are fingers pointing at me and like everyone is just waiting for me to make a mistake to pounce on me. At work (Most especially -___-). At home. Little things. ... And I am there like....
This morning, I came out saw my neighbour and another man engrossed in their talk.. I mumbled my ¨Good Morning¨ and went about my business, only for him to just immediately jump at me
I am Thankful today for GOD'S LOVE!!!!!!!!!
Ready to be vulnerable with me? What are you Thankful for through it ALL?

¨Aunty, e ti le ki wa¨ (Aunty, you cant greet us) *Insert a long sigh here*
This is someone that I would greet on most mornings and he won't answer me oh, but I still greet the next day. All I wanted to scream was ¨LEAVE ME ALONE¨
Last night, I just laid there in the dark and sobbed and talked to God. He won't let me stay there for too long. I wanted some sort of comfort. I NEEDED some.
There are many things I am not very happy about at this time but I was reminded that through it ALL, He is always there.
I am Thankful today for Solace in God. A place where I can just be, no accusations, not talk-down, no talk-at, No reminder, Nothing. Just a loving arm I can rest and be lovingly corrected for my mistakes.
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35,38-39 NLT

Hi Tomi,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for you and for the comfort of God's word that He sent right to you. I understand just how you feel and I am sending you a big hug for the moments you feel overwhelmed. Just so you know that days like this will come but like He has assured you last night and this morning, He is ALWAYS there. You are not alone!!! Be encouraged and be sure that because God is a partner in your labour, ALL things are working together for your good.
Rejoice in hope and in His abiding presence.
My LULU! It is well jare; we have times like this so we can rest assured in the comfort that God has provided for us. Often time, we all need a break and we just want to be in the silent corner where no one notices us, but it will pass and through this, I am glad you still have a reason to be thankful. So pick up that beautiful smile and shame them all.
ReplyDeleteLove you plenty plenty!
This your hairstyle tho ( Hehehehehe! *tongueout*)
Tomi, sometimes it's okay to just cry. I think since we are God's children we have a right to cry sometimes for no reason at all. Babies so that so why not? But remember, God stores every tear! He knows why you are sad (or just not feeling great) and yes you can be vulnerable with Him.
ReplyDeleteI love this post and the "realness". I pray that you will find peace, nothing like the peace of God in your mind/spirit during difficult and challenging times. Continue to find a song to hum/sing, pray and cry. God is a healer and will make all things new.
ReplyDeleteBe encouraged; life is all about seasons - up moments and down moments..you'll get through this one, I have no doubt ;) And do something to cheer yourself up this weekend!
ReplyDelete*Hugs*... I wish I could deliver that hug to you personally. Part of the beauty of Christ is that we can be real with him. If you need to cry, cry your heart out sis but know it's this world's task to try and break you down but Christ's everlasting role to lift you up.
ReplyDeleteThis season will come, to pass.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS EVERYONE FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORDS!!!! I appreciate it alot!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Tomi, Trust you feel a lot better. Sending this (((HUG))) nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteAwwww Dayoooo!!! Thank youuu I do feel alot better (((HUG))) God bless you real big!!!
