Proverbs 17:22

When I write in here, I just type. I don't often read back what I write, but when I do I can't help but giggle a little. I ramble so much and have such a difficult time staying on one subject. I am the most scatterbrained girl - ever. The last post I wrote is absolutely ridiculous - I read it just now and realized that to an untrained eye, it would make no sense. I'm not very good with my words, and I apologize if it doesn't make any sense to you...

Anyway, I heard something the other day that really stuck with me. I was told that circumstances should not determine our happiness. We shouldn't label our days "good" or "bad" based on what has happened to us throughout the day, but rather, we should be happy unconditionally. I can't even imagine how drastically my life would change if I lived by that, and I know that's exactly what Jesus wants for us. He wants us to find our happiness and sense of belonging in Him, and not blame our bad days for the crap that happens to us. When we trust and love God even through rough patches, we are worshipping Him in the deepest way. So, be happy! Thank God continuously for your blessings. Never let a bad hair day or power outage ruin your day, because (as much as we think we know this, we don't) we don't want those things to cloud up the fact that living for God is what should ultimately make us happy. Plus, not only will keeping a smile on your face through the difficult times make your heart happier, but trust me, others around you will catch on.

A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
