Anniversary Dessert
Yesterday was our anniversary, and we celebrated by going out to our favorite restaurant. We had some of the best desserts ever. I thank Christ for the great time and the great food!
It’s My Birthday
Today is my birthday. Many questions and memories are going through my head.
One question is, “how did I get here so fast?” The answer… I don’t know. When I slow down enough to think about my life, it all seems to be flying by. As I look back, though, I feel blessed. Thank Christ for the life He has given me, and for the life to come. I can honestly say that I’m excited to see where He leads me from here.

Happiness is a Product of Choice
Are you happy right now? Are you angry? Are you discouraged?
You are the only person in your life that can decide what mood you’re in. You can’t control how others choose to feel, but you have control over your thoughts, and over your mood. It is up to you to choose whether you’re going to have a positive outlook on life today, or not. It’s a choice, and it’s up to you to make it for yourself.
If you’re extremely unhappy or discouraged, and you don’t know where to find the strength to change your outlook on life, remember Philippians 4:11-13, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”
Jeff Young sent out an email today with some great words:
Since happiness is found in the mind, and our own thoughts are the only thing we have complete control over, happiness or unhappiness is a product of choice… God is not out to get you, He is on your side. The world is not out to crush you, it is your oyster. Outside, it rains sometimes, it shines sometimes. Whatever it is doing, it does for everyone. On the inside, the sun is always shining. The question is whether or not you are going to pull the blinds.
