October(week 2)

Dear bloggie,

This week has been a tough week for me.I deserve a tight slap for myself for not doing well and let my emotions take control of how I live my life.

I'm willing to change myself for a betterment.I should remind myself constantly that God is always with me,don't take Him for granted.Plus,I should live my life,believing God with a child-like faith.In everything must give thanks for what God has done in my life.

I shall end this post with few paragraphs from Victoria Osteen when she shared on "Look at What You've Have in Your Hands".

"At that moment, I was expecting a full glass of water. I just looked at that glass for a moment and chuckled to myself as I thought about a simple life lesson. Life doesn't always give us what we are expecting. Many times in life, we get served "half a glass of water" or less than what we are expecting. So often, people allow those unmet expectations to become their focus which quickly turns into negative, self-defeated thinking. The good news is that we don't have to let our thoughts take that route. When things don't go our way, we get to choose how we will respond. We get to choose our perspective. Will you focus on what you didn't get, or what you did get?

Instead of getting upset about what I didn't have, I chose to be thankful for what I did have. After all, it was certainly more water than what I had a few minutes earlier!

Let me encourage you to get up every day and focus on what you do have in life. Be thankful for the blessings of the little things, even when you don't get what you expect. As you keep your mind and heart focused in the right direction, approaching each day with faith and gratitude, I believe you will be empowered to live life to the fullest and enjoy the abundant life He has promised you!"

"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)."
