The First Thought

Matthew 6:34 - Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Boy have I really come to know this. Life is ...well, it's unpredictable. Each day truly needs to be taken as it is and nothing more. We need to be thankful for each moment and fight for our right to have joy in EVERY moment. Sure grief is a natural and healthy feeling to have but it is what we do with it that dictates our life. There are blessings everywhere, whether they are seen or not. Bad things happen, but bad days don't have to exist. Confused? Took me a long time to understand it too.

As I sit in my living room staying up way past my bed time when I know how desperately I need the sleep, I can't seem to turn my mind off. So many things have happened these past two years and I am astonished. I look at my past and I am thankful, relieved and blessed to have made it to where I am today. Like any story, there were some ugly moments as well as some beautiful moments. This particular past year though was the most trying time and up until now, the most pivotal period of my life. 2012 - the year my journey as a Christian, loving and following Jesus, glorifying God, and being one with the Holy Spirit, has truly just begun.
