This is it folks! My first blog is almost reaching it's conclusion. Originally, I was going to my final post for this blog with some bible scriptures. But change of plans. Guess who decided to make a visit into my sub-conscious? RoastemToast! Oh joy! I wasn't kidding when I said the road to drastic change was hell.
As I was doing countless hours of research for my last two speeches, I was met with this angry spirit again. This time, he attacked my thoughts and started to make me question why people hated furries/bronies so much. Then he provoked me by showing me what people are saying about Kanye West. On two counts, I started to rage and rant. But, I stopped myself and told "RoastemToast" to leave me alone and let me finish my studies. He just laughed and kept messing with me.
The more he invaded my thoughts, the less I started to care about my studies. That is when I had to run to the Bible and start reading scriptures. The more I did this, the greater my chances were to focus more effectively. But that only stopped him for a good hour and a half. It was so bad that even my Mother asked, "Is everything ok?" When she asked that question, I knew I was dealing with spiritual warfare. I guess the bible scripture of, "The enemy comes to seek kill and destroy" still remains true.
When I was watching a documentary from Saberspark about bronies, I was very intrigued and wanted to take some notes for my speech presentation. But lo and behold, RoastemToast distracts me about something that Saberspark said. I wouldn't call it being triggered, but this very sentence did bring some dark parts of my past back. What did he say? All Saberspark said was, "What 5 year old girl thinks about boys?" The moment he said that sentence, I thought about all the times on how I was bullied by girls at that age.
Weird huh? That is when I almost lost track and started to get frustrated at the inaccuracy of that very comment. Before you know it, RoastemToast and I were arguing with each other. Finally, I got on my knees and prayed again. Once I did that, I received a phone call from my school counselor about classes I need to schedule for next week. After that conversation, I finished watching the first part of the brony documentary from Saberspark. It was a sigh of relief.
Seeing a pattern here? I am focused on trying to do the Lord's work/fulfill my tasks for the day, and then here comes the enemy trying to distract me with nonsense. Again, I am not here to preach to you all about how to stop temptations from the enemy. If you want to know how to do so, just simply read your bible, pray a few times a day and meditate on his word. Is it easy? Hell no! It takes many years of practice to keep your focus on the vision that God has implanted in you.
For instance, Kanye West finally is able to sing for the Lord. People critique and ridicule him over past mistakes that are over 5-6 years old. The ridicule is a distraction. If Kanye West is not careful, he will go back to relying on drugs/alcohol instead of Jesus and his word. Guess what people? IT HAPPENS TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US! One moment we got our life planned and then before you know it, something tragic on a certain level happens and it causes us to lose our focus.
This concludes this blog. If you have any questions, just email me. Be blessed and KEEP YOUR FOCUS!
