Okay, let's talk about how we – our kind of people – handle, well, everything! We’ve got a secret weapon. It’s how we navigate life’s little… and not-so-little… curveballs.
And that secret weapon? We Kiss It Up To God!
What Does "Kiss It Up To God" Even Mean?
Forget complicated theology. We're not talking doctoral dissertations here. Think of it as your super-chill, ultra-effective, all-purpose life hack.
Basically, "Kiss It Up To God" is your go-to move when life throws you a lemon. Or a whole lemon tree. It’s about acknowledging that, sometimes, you just can’t control things.
It's handing over the reins – or at least a rein or two – to the Big Guy Upstairs.
Examples of the Kiss-Up-To-God Life
Let's say you’re stuck in traffic. That awful, soul-crushing traffic that’s making you late for the dentist. The dentist who’s probably going to find another cavity.
The average person might honk, yell, and contemplate extreme measures involving a monster truck. Not us!
We take a deep breath, maybe say a little prayer ("Dear Lord, please let this traffic move, and maybe also soften the blow of the dentist's bill..."), and Kiss It Up To God. Suddenly, the traffic doesn’t seem quite as unbearable.
Or imagine you're baking a cake for Aunt Mildred's birthday. Aunt Mildred, the self-proclaimed queen of baked goods. A cake disaster is looming? Flour everywhere? Batter looking… suspect?
Panic? Never! We whisper a quick, “Help me, Jesus!” and Kiss It Up To God. And you know what? Somehow, magically (or divinely!), that cake turns out perfectly. (Or at least edible enough to fool Aunt Mildred.)
It's Not Just About the Big Stuff
The beauty of the "Kiss It Up To God" approach is its versatility. It's not reserved for major life crises only.
Lost your keys? Kiss It Up To God! Spilled coffee on your new shirt? You guessed it: Kiss It Up To God!
Can’t find a parking spot? Feeling overwhelmed by your overflowing inbox? Yep, you know the drill.
Why It Works (Kind Of)
Is it magic? Maybe. Is it scientifically proven? Probably not. But does it work for us? Absolutely!
For starters, it’s a fantastic stress reliever. Acknowledging that you're not completely in control is surprisingly liberating. You're releasing some of that burden.
It's also a mindset shift. It encourages us to look for the good, even in frustrating situations. We find the silver lining because we trust that everything works out.
It's faith. Plain and simple. It's knowing that even when things seem impossible, something beautiful can still emerge.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 (Just saying!)
Give It A Try!
Next time you're facing a challenge, big or small, try it. Take a deep breath, acknowledge the situation, and Kiss It Up To God.
See what happens. You might be surprised at the peace (and maybe even the solutions) that follow. We, our kind of people, have been doing this for ages.
Who knows, you might just discover your new favorite life hack. Welcome to the club!
