Think Positive Thoughts

"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone."- James 4:14

These past few days have been kinda of crazy. Thursday, July 7th, was quite an eventful day. It started out with me wanting to cook dinner that night. I had everything planned out and it seemed like it was going to be a great dinner. I began to make everything and it was just going wonderful until the grill didnt want to work. I just stood there and said to myself "REALLY?!" Everything that I thought could go wrong, went wrong. Well, at least in my mind it did. I just stood there and began to panic and get frustrated. I instantly texted Amy and just began to sulk about everything going wrong. She began telling me that everything will be okay and I just needed to relax. I thought to myself that nothing could be fixed. My meal was going to be horrible. Everyone eating it that night would say it was just the worst. That is when Amy finally told me to stop being a baby and to just let it be. I ate my food I made and instantly I felt better. What was it that made all my worries and doubts just disappear? I then thought to myself once more, "Amy was right! Just forget about what has happened. Everyone falls sometimes, but you can just sit there and dwell on the bad things. You can't be perfect. You just gotta keep practicing and you will get in the groove of things and it will all work out." She was right! You can't just sit around and dwell on the bad things. I know a lot of people that will keep thinking about what happened in the past and will keep bringing it up. Amy kept telling me that when you doubt or worry, you just get further away from God. It is the Devil trying to pull you away. I know that was 100% true because it has happened to me before. I doubted and then I just felt further away from God. It's amazing how the small things in life mostly always teach you what God has to tell us. God wants us to always have a positive attitude in life. He doesn't want us to just keep dwelling on what the past has done. Instead we need to look foward to the future. Like in James 4:14, we don't know what tomorrow brings. Tomorrow could never come. You can't be living your life down in the dumps just because a creme brule didn't turn out. Or you get jealous because someone went somewhere and you weren't going. Being jealous about something is just the works of the devil. Again, he is just trying to pull you away from God. In Matthew 13:22, it talks about the seed being planted among thorns. Those who has roots in the thorns hear God's words but then fall too quickly away because they are reminded of their worries and lure of wealth. They just begin to worry about everything and have that negative attitude towards everything. I have realized in the past few days that everyone's time here on earth is way to short. This is just a temporary home and Heaven is our eternal home. We need to stop living in a negative way. We need to be positive even when the world around us is not. When you are positive about anything and everything, then you will definetly see the difference in the way you act, the way you speak, and the way you live. You may stumble and fall, but you got to get back up, dust yourself off, and continue on living your life. Life is too short to dwell on the past. Just laugh it off and your future will be bright. Don't be the darkness in the world.. For we were not supposed to be of this world. We are supposed to be the lights to this dark place.


The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted"- Matthew 13:23
