who cares?

Life can be hard sometimes. But there are always pieces of it that will be beautiful.

I have come to discover that what makes it hard and beautiful are the people in it. the people that change you, form you, create you.

Sometimes I wonder why it is we care so much about what others think. Who cares? What does it really matter.



It doesn't. Only God matters.

So from now on His is the opinion I will listen too.

~ I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much. Mother Theresa



Life

 

 

 

 

Life is long.

 

 

 

 

Life is short.

 

Life is sweet.

 

 

 

 

Life is hard.

 

But life is worth everything we are.

Fear

Fear is the enemy of joy.

It steals life from your heart.

It makes the possible seem impossible.

And it hurts.

 

 

 

 

So today I am summoning you to put away fear.

 

Hold it back.

 

Don't give in to it.

 

Don't let it define you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Find the truth behind what you are.

 

Sail the sea of the unknown and drive fear away.

 

 

 

 

I'll leave you with this question....

Happy days

Where does happiness come from?

Where does sadness come from?

Where are these emotions that swirl and writh inside us?

Why are they here?


These are questions which run through my mind.

They all have answers.

I know the answers.

But knowing the answers and getting the answers are two different things.

It's hard to put things into practice.

My happy week has been progressing without much heartache.

I have found two true friends buried deep in my heart.

They truly love me.

I don't need to doubt it either.

That is a blessing I didn't know I had.

So, this week, I am remembering the miracle of true friends.

Forever.

Where to Go

Challenges come for a good purpose. They teach you things, lessons that not learned, would hinder how you live. I love good challenges.

Being happy all the time is one of them.

It seems so easy to plaster a smile on your face and stare the world in the eyes.

But a fake smile never fooled anyone.

To have a sincere heart: now that is a challenge.

To be really happy: there lies the test.

But I think it is worth it.

So my challenge is this.

To be truly, honestly happy for this next week. Not surface happy. Not a facade put on to hide what lies beneath.

Really...happy.

Smile.

Laugh.

Sing.

Dance.

Things will come, irritations and pain and turmoil, to stretch the lips into a frown. Don't let them. Dig in the corners of that mouth, listen to the truth of what really matter in the face of eternity, and smile.

Love is the healer of all things.

1 Corinthians 13.

Read it. All of it. And you will be smiling all week too.
