Truth

While reading an article about Japanese survival stories this morning, something a girl said rang truth and I wanted to share it: CNN Lost and Found

She was frustrated and wanted to give up her studies in Japan after the Tsunami but finally realized she needed get back in her faith and rely on God. She said, "People who have faith in God have positive vibes and are more optimistic," she explained. "If you go with the negative people, you lose yourself, your strength."

I've always tried to keep this argument when people question my faith in God and it's easy for me to stand strong in what I believe in because ultimately, God makes me patient, loving, and forgiving. This morning, my co-worker, Tara, sent me a photo and it made me happy just to receive it.

Sis lives by the simple idea, "a positive mind brings a positive outcome." I believe if we keep God on our side and smile often, even if we don't feel like it, we have the power to change the world.

Smile and say hello to 5 strangers today, and you'll see what I'm talking about.



Ecclesiastes 7:14
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
