Life 
How you handle it

Life it just happens around us and sometimes we are involved in the decisions that are going on around us, other times life just happens to us.  So how do you handle the stress of life?  What do you do when everything just falls apart?  It happens to all of us, we think that we have everything under control and then blame everything falls apart.  Now don’t get me wrong we all know those people who well are in panic mode all the time because life just never ever is in a good place.  Then there are the other people who well never ever seem to lose control of life.  Everything is always just fine and perfect! (Of course they are just really good at covering up the fact that life gets out of control for them.)  Then in the middle of this is us we have a grip on life and things are going good and then other times life seems to fall apart.  That is where most of us are at!  So how do you handle life when things just fall out of control?  What do you turn to so that you feel better and in control agin?  There are stresses in life that is part of life but how you handle the stress is key.  Some of us just hide and run away, others get angry and take it out on others, and some of us jump in and seek to take control back.  God has many things to say about stress.  He knew that we would face many things and that we would need His guidance and help to get through life.  Take a look at this Philippians 4:6-9 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. That is a lot to take in so read it a couple of times.  In this edition of the Extreme Faith Mag. we are going to break it down and make it something that you can use to manage stress and life.  Life it happens and well we need to be ready for whatever it throws at us.  Did you read it again?  If not read it again it is life changing when you allow it to soak in.  Keep reading the articles and learn about life and how to manage it.
