Real Talk - Big Picture Prospective

I don't smile because I have to. I smile because it's within me. 

People sometimes wonder how I can smile "all the time," after all the things I've gone through in my lifetime. The truth is that I don't smile because I feel I have to fake being happy. It's because it's a part of my personality. I'm always laughing. I seem to find something funny in just about every situation. If you look though any family photo and don't see me laughing so hard I have to catch my breath, know that it was take 500. 😉 

The truth is that without my faith I would most likely be bitter a decent amount of the time. But I know that the things that have happened to me aren't without divine purpose. Looking at all these little things & putting them into a "big picture" prospective changes my outlook on life. If I didn't have that, I'd most likely feel miserable. 

So, what is it for you that you need to put into a "big picture" prospective? 

Challenge: Choose one thing to think of in a more positive prospective this week.

Learning To Embrace The Crazy

Have you ever had a bad day? Not just any bad day, but the kind that could be turned into a movie?  It might have gone something like this: after waking up late because your alarm didn’t go off, you didn’t have time to eat breakfast. So, you make your favorite quick breakfast drink. On your way to work you spilled your drink while checking your email & walking down the hallway.  Then, you have a meeting but didn’t have time to go home & change. So, while attending the meeting you try to send a quick text to someone to bring you a change of clothes fast, because you need to present at another meeting. But your friend can’t help ya out. So, you head to the ladies room to clean up.  As you try to clean up, you end up getting little bits of paper towel all over yourself & it looks much worse. That’s not all, though. You decide that since your outfit is at it’s worst, you could at least freshen up your makeup. As you get the makeup from your purse, the unthinkable ...

By Faith

These 2 words have been a reoccurring theme In my life lately. Remembering how important it is to live by FAITH & not by sight is definitely more easier said than done. However, when urs done right amazing things happen!  I was recently reading Not Part of the Plan by @krstnclark + & @bethany.beal. One of the chapters focuses on the importance & results that the Bible gives to us about living by faith.  Hebrews 11 is such an encouraging chapter. It never says by feeling Noah built the ark or by feeling Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born. It focus on the fact that those people didn’t always know what the end result would be. However they did take steps of faith.  My Saturday thoughts. 💭
