Real Ministry with VeeVeca- Coping

Coping--

Change gone come... Joy comes in the morning. These words have been spoken to encourage many. So much so, they are often sang in the chords of spiritual songs. But what about you? Has your change come? Is it morning time in your life or is the clock still ticking waiting on a miracle.

"Lord, how do we hold on,"when we are stuck between the hard place and a big rock called broke and the mortgage is due and dreams need financing? What do we do.

In the challenge and pressure of today, there is one word to sum it up. Cope. How do you cope in a diverse world with economic challenges and plunging deficits? The word cope means : to maintain a contest or combat usually on even terms or with success : to deal with and attempt to overcome problems and difficulties.

This is not a scientific equation here: Problem + You = Perseverence, Struggle, and Work.

Here's an example:

Sally and John are married with 3 children, one in college, one in middle
school, and one in day-care. John loses his job and the family's savings are
depleted. What can they do?

• Learn this quickly. There are no magic tricks in
  the storm. In front of you is reality and truth. Between the two, you will find
  the aesthetics of coping.

Sally and John are mad, but in different ways.
Sally calls for help. John is getting more destructive listening to Sally on the
phone. She looks at him. His face is flushed and she knows only a miracle can
help. Frankly, she knew, miracles don't always knock on doors. So she hangs up
the phone and gathers her purse. "John," she says, "we can get food at the food
bank." John is still in a fury. "There's no gas in the car."

• Stuck between the means of getting and having can make any human snap. Stop and breathe. Regroup and push yourself back up. Don't let the truth of your reality landslide you into giving up. Take authority (as best you can) and get up.

Sally moves forward in securing a ride and food for her family. The problem isn't totally resolved but at least (which is a pivotal point) she has removed some of the
strain. John remains bitter.

• While you are in the storm, being thankful for the ‘at least aspects of your life will help turn your dark days into brighter
  opportunities.

Stay encouraged in the heavy– and move Forward.
