Purpose and Perspective

I know we all tend to focus on the negative things going on in our lives, but today lets try to focus on the positive! Negativity and worry are a trick of the enemy to get you to stop focusing on what GOD is doing in your life. The bible invites you not to worry.

Matthew 6:25-34
New International Version (NIV)
Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

DO you see that? Can worry add any hours to your life? Nope. So today lets proclaim God's goodness in our lives.

Philippians 4:6 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

I have so many things going wrong but I just wanted to take a moment and list just a few of the things that are right. I am a child of the most high God. I am loved beyond measure by him AND a slew of family and friends. I am not homeless or starving. I have my health. I have beautiful children. My husband is blessed with an amazing job and this has put us in contact with some amazing people. The list really can go on and on.

So when you are completely down and out. Know God loves you and I do to. and if you every need anything of me (prayer, time, a babysitter, a confident, friend, someone to wash your dishes, etc), Please do not hesitate to ask. I aim to be a humble servant of God, since he is so good to me.

and for those of you who didn't know. I just played with my P.P.
