We\u2019ve all heard the saying \u201cI felt like I was thrown under the bus!\u201d And, in fact \u2013 we didn\u2019t just hear someone else say it\u2026..we said it ourselves. You know\u2026.when a co-worker disparaged us so they could get the promotion instead of us; or someone took the credit for something we worked hard and long for; or someone blamed us for something we didn\u2019t do; or the person who makes an excuse for everything \u2013 it\u2019s never their fault for a situation. Or, quite frankly, the enemy of our soul has continued to \u201cthrow us under the bus\u201d by causing fear, anger, accusations, worry, disappointment and discomfort in our lives. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Well, it\u2019s time to put a stop to being thrown under the bus and time to START DRIVING THE BUS. We can put a halt to the victim mentality, and those tests and messes can become our testimony and message when we get behind the wheel of the bus. And when we\u2019re driving, we can steer that bus all around and pick up other people who feel like they\u2019ve been thrown under the bus and help them bounce back to being in charge, too. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Bottom line\u2026..it\u2019s time we refuse to give up and begin to overcome the antics of the enemy. Through those times we can get better instead of being bitter. Romans 8:28 \u201cAll things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes.\u201d That GOOD\u2026is when we start driving the bus, where we are not only blessed, but those around us\u2026.are blessed because we are the BEST drivers that are helping to impact their lives for GOOD, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
