I'm Doing Good

Omg so today has been awesome! God works in mysterious ways...
Who knew that my deciding that today's genre of music that I would listen to would be gospel and it lead to this... Kirk Franklin's "123 Victory" played and I had a full blown praise! Not only that, God placed a new poem on my heart. To let someone know that no matter what He has them, so they're good! They need to believe that it's going to be okay!!!

I'm Doing Good  

After all that  I've been through,

Even when bills are due,

And payment didn't go through, 

I'm doing good.

When I can't seem to make ends meet,

Barely have food to eat,

One mortgage away from living on the streets,

I'm doing good.

Some days I'm late to work,

Other days I don't make it at all.

Kids sick,

And car won't start.

But...I'm doing good.

Got home,

And the lights won't come on.

The house phone, 

Well...that's been disconnected.

And nope, we don't have the internet. 

Yet,

I'm still doing good. 

Not to mention the divorce,

And child support.

As if I'm not already facing enough,

I'm doing good. 

We've all been broke before, 

A few dollars away from being considered poor,

Maybe even had the police kick down the door,

But, we're doing good. 

Even when we don't have everything we want, we have what we need, 

Because God's grace is sufficient. 

Life may be tough, but God is strong, 

He will reassure you that you don't have to face this life alone. 

The battle is already won. 

And everyday is a new day to start new, 

I woke up so...I'm doing good!

I have life so...I'm doing good!

The devil will not defeat me,

God has already given me the victory! 

So, after all I've been through,

Every tear shed and pain endured,

I didn't give up and I'm still doing good.

And all the time God is good.

Maybe this poem touched you, maybe it is you or once were you. But, guess what? Now, it's all good. lol. God said in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things work together for the good of those who love him..." You will be alright. I just had a pep talk with myself on yesterday to affirm that I would be okay. You never know what someone may be experiencing or going through and they just need to hear that it gets better...you all know the saying, "Trouble don't last always." We just have to believe it. Keep trusting that God will see us through. Just don't give up and do not let the devil thinks he has you. You are God's child and no weapon formed against you will prosper. Even when you don't think it will get better, remember that God is already working it out. So what you have had your share of troubles...I know what it's like to be down too. But, we have the power to get up and to keep moving. Everyday is a new day to start new and to have another chance to get it right. Another day to have a great day. Another day to experience joy and peace and to find your happy place. 

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning," Psalm 30:5

Until Next Time,

Get up, we got victory
No weapon they throw at me
You know it won't prosper, no"
