I started this blog as an ode to seeking & finding the positive in everything, because i really do believe that, no matter the situation, there IS a positive to be found, and beauty really DOES dwell everywhere. We just have to make the decision to want to see it. I'm forever trying to reinfoce this very point to everyone in my life. And never has there been a more appropriate time for me to 'practice what i preach'.
I'll start by going way back... i essentially started this blog as a way to keep me passionate about all the delightfully simple things in life... to remind me to keep looking, to keep embracing, to keep appreciating. But then i got so caught up in the emotional roller-coaster ride that was a long distance relationship, that i became more selfish, caught the 'woe is me' fever, and pretty much just put all my energy into enjoying feeling sorry for myself (i know, what a contradiction!). This ate away at me so much, that i lost the desire to seek and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and in-turn, lost a big part of myself. no bueno!
Anyway, i have come to the point where enough is enough. It's time to be true to myself. But more importantly, be true to God, and be the person He created. Time to embrace God's beautiful creation.
The last two days have more or less been spent entirely with God. Reading, praying, writing, rewind, repeat. It has brought so much needed clarity and inner peace, it really is amazing what our God is capable of doing. He revealed Himself to me in such a beautiful way tonight, a way that i will never forget. I was crying out for Him, and He answered. i'll keep the way in which He answered private, but all i want to say is... seek and you SHALL find!! God is so good!
To conclude this post [that probably doesn't make sense to anyone but me], i want to remind everyone that being happy is a conscious decision made by you, but made easier by God. And i encourage everyone to open your heart and look to God for peace and happiness, for He loves you so much and desires only the best for you. Everything beautiful is God, and you are only able to live the life you live because Jesus sacrificed his - just remember that, and give Him thanks.
PS. Sorry if this post doesn't read well... for some reason i am more inspired at night, but the left side of my brain doesn't agree with the right side once its past midnight :P
