What’s next?
Where do you go from here?
How do you turn the corner?
What does life have in store for you?
We have all faced these questions at one time or another.
Life has thrown us a curve ball and we had to jump out of the way.
It’s a miracle that we made it out alive.
After you catch your breath and dust yourself off, you need to do a quick inventory of what you have.
You need to make sure that you highlight the good that is around you.
Don’t take even the smallest item for granted.
Life and breath. Check.
The ability to move around on your own. Check.
Sight. Check.
A mind to think with. Check.
Food and shelter. Check.
Clothing. Check.
Now that we have that out the way, let’s check out what your next move should be.
You should, first and foremost, find yourself on your knees talking to God.
God knows all about the situations that you found yourself in.
He is neither shocked nor surprised at the mess that you made.
What He wants from you now is to come to Him to receive all that you need.
Next you should surround yourself with people who believe in you and want the best for you.
“80% of people that you complain to don’t care, and the other 20% are glad something bad happen to you”.

Get around those who will have your back and will keep it real with you when you step out of line.
Lastly, believe in yourself.
We all have screwed up our lives at one time or another.
No one is exempt from failures. You must continue to see yourself as a valued child of God.
You have the great privilege of being able to go to God and ask for forgiveness when we mess up.
And the best thing is, not only does He forgive us, He also cleans us up and removes all the dirt and filth of mistakes and sin.
He makes it so we can start again.
What’s next is we can begin again and we can move forward with God on our side.
