Spiritual Affirmation - Joel Osteen

Joel Osteen Says,

"Just because we're in a STRESSFULL situation doesn't mean that we have to get stressed out. You may be in the storm. The key is, don't let the storm get in YOU.

Freeing up space in our mind is so important that we can defragment our hard drives to take away all the trash that we don't need from toxic relationships or friendships. When we get rid of the toxic we open the door for positive healthy relationships to flourish into something great. The key to both of these quotes is getting rid of the toxic stress but, don't become part of it in the process. This motivational quote goes out to Original Copy Officer Captain Justin VanAnderland. You have always been one I look to for encouragement because you can tolerate a lot of Bullshit and I admire that quality in you! Thank you for teaching me that I have the ability to be strong even when its storming all around me.

In A.A. there are many quotes and slogans and this reminds me of them that "This too shall pass" that it will pass in the moment might be crazy but, we don't have to let that determine our outcome. "Live and Let Live" that we can go on with our lives despite the trials and tribulations that we have been through to allow God to give us the bandage to get us through a rough patch but, know Heaven is our reward. For when we are in the storm we might feel like we are drowning in our thoughts and actions but, that doesn't have to be that way; Hold on to Truth and it will set you free. The burden of Proof; rests with the Truth. "Let Go and Let God" Means you have done all you can do to help the situation and then that is where faith comes in to bridge the gap with the holy spirit giving you grace in the process.
