Learning to Cast my Cares



Don’t you just treasure those first few moments of the morning, when you’ve just woken up from beautiful slumber. That moment you feel like a new born, everything is new and fresh. It actually feels like a new day to start all over again, another opportunity to reach out to your dreams. 


But then suddenly you feel the racing and rushing of yesterday. The ‘continuity’ of life slowly dawns on you. You remember how busy your schedule is, how you freaking messed up last night .You remember that you don’t really like yourself and your life actually sucks. ......Ohhh.....Boy! You almost want to shut your eyes, no you actually shut your eyes hoping to wake up in a different place or better yet not wake up at all.You manage to get out of bed and hopefully in one piece start your daily routine which involves hanging in there! 


At this point let me just throw this in...We all have those days when you just want to lock yourself in and not talk or listen to anyone, and then somehow you step out and wonder why you hadn’t done it before. Well, this will actually surprise you....The Sun’s ray have properties that act as antidepressant. So a little dose of sunshine will lift those moods... :) Isn’t God love! See how he already has our back.


You know the Bible says that His mercies are new every morning. ..But somehow, even accepting that simple reality seems like another burden added on our already heavy load. For some, that precious moment does not even exist anymore. Our lives are choked with little cares and we have lost the authenticity of being alive and feeling the fresh senses. There’s nothing as bad as not living an authentic life and sadly majority of us do .So we chase after the best this, the perfect that only to realize that its not even about that! So we compare to a house that has lights on but nobody’s home and it’s been a while since they was home. 


I have found myself many times feeling like a robot ...going through the motions but really not in the moment at all. So am shedding all masks and looking for me again. I am learning to let all that could go wrong, go wrong. Am learning to work on giving my best today and let Christ clean up my yesterday’s mess .I am learning to give up the right to make sure that my future will be picture perfect ..I’d rather have God surprise me.


Do you ever wonder how it would be if those few blissful moments would replace every waking moment of your day?

Luv Ish!
