looking at the good side...

over the past few years it has been a whirlwind of the good mixed with the bad. as most of you know it is sometimes hard to see the good through the bad. As humans we tend to concentrate and hold on to the bad things that chase us around on a daily basis. This Achilles heal of ours is some times the greatest factor in our downfall. When you wake up in the morning what is the first thing you think? Is it that your happy you woke up? Or is it look how great the sun looks coming through the trees or how blessed you are to have a bed to wake up in? Or is that you have fifty things to do, not enough time or money to get them all done? Or how you don't like how you look or how you clothes or car or whatever isn't enough? I have learned alot about myself over the last few years and the biggest thing is how much my outlook on life has changed the more I have embraced God in my life. I have always believed in God, I have gone to church over the years but not until the past few years have I really given it all over to him. Since I have done this I have noticed how much happier I have become and how much easier it is to get through the rough times. Although my life has gotten progressively more stressful in the past few years I have gotten progressively more optimistic and happier. I know that you cant just sit by and hope that things will get better, I know that you have to get up and do things but I do know that God will take care of me. He will provide me with everything that I need. So what I'm trying to say is that I hope that anyone who is reading this will try to look towards the light and try to replace all the bad with the good. He will prevail and He will take care of us if we let him.
