What an amazing day to be alive! I've been waking up with so much joy, happiness, and peace. I can't explain it. I don't go to bed with worries, hate, bitterness, anger or unforgiving. The people around me are truly amazing, positive, and encouraging people, good people, who genuinely pour into me, and I willing reciprocate. I've attracted my heart's desires, both public and secret desires, by taking control of my thoughts and focusing on what I DO want and not what I don't want. I feel like anything I can imagine I can achieve. Everything in my life at this moment, is not here by accident, and I'm blessed because I simply believe. But its not about the material stuff, because I've learned to be happy with or without it. I may not worship God in traditional, extremely religious ways, but I know that God is real, and exists. Stop complaining, and start doing. If you can't do it, change your thinking, that's where it all starts. Thoughts become actions, you are what you attract.
What brought about this complete change? I wish I could say it miraculously happened over night, or it was easy. But that's simply not true. I first had to realize that there was a problem, and only God could do in me what I had desperately tried doing my entire life. I knew that I was not living my ultimate life, and I wanted something more than momentary happiness. I wanted JOY! True everlasting, internal, and eternal JOY! The JOY of the Lord! During the Month of August I'll share with you my Journey to Joy in the Worship Wednesdays Newsletter. I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
