Life is Beautiful

Wow two posts in one week?! I must be on a roll! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week even though it is only Tuesday =). I know I am. It has been very stressful these last few weeks, but as always, I look at life as one big blessing. I had a beautiful conversation last night with a friend about how so many things in life all depend on how you look at them. Attitude is absolutely everything. If you wake up in the morning and say to yourself "well today is going to suck." Well guess what?! It is!!! If you have that mindset you already are looking at everything in a negative way. I sometimes wake up and feel extremely week or icky, but I tell myself it is going to be a good day. Some days are tough, and we all have bad days. We all go through tough stuff, but God promises that he will never give us more than we can handle. Lately I have really felt pushed to my limit and there have been several instances recently when I have said to people I am close to that God must think I am extremely strong, because life has been anything but easy this last month. I continue to grow closer to God through the trials I have gone through, which to me makes it all worth it.

Sometimes in life, I feel that I know what is best for myself, but if I got to map out my life and if all the plans that I thought were good for me or were meant to be happened instead of letting God take control, man would I be screwed up. One of my favorite bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11. It says
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I am so glad someone has it figured out because I sure don't!
Even though my life has been anything but easy, to me it is beautiful because I let God take control as he is the author of my days. 
Tonight we had bible study up on Garvin Heights in Winona. It was so beautiful. I have never been up there. I really liked it. If any of my readers come to visit me that are not in Winona, I will take you up there!!! I hope everyone is having a blessed week! It is a short one for most of us as Friday is Good Friday. The day my personal Lord and Savior payed the ultimate price for my sin on the cross so that one day I could spend eternity in Heaven free of sin. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter.
