When I look at my life I see so many things to be grateful for. I have a honest loving husband who provides for me, helps me around the house and helps me with our two little kids. I have two beautiful healthy children who challenge me to be the best version of myself each day.
Life is not always easy but I have found that changing how I look at things makes things much easier. It's so easy to forget to be grateful for all the beautiful things in life. We can get wrapped up in what everyone else has or what we don't have and forget all the wonderful things we have.
God has a specific plan for our lives and it doesn't look like anyone else's. His plan for each of us is unique just as we are. There is so much beauty in each day. Every morning we wake up is a gift. We get to live another day and make the day what we want.
Not everyday is going to be easy or go our way. But being thankful for the things we have can make a big difference in our day. Being thankful for just waking up and getting to live another day is a beautiful thing. When we have a more positive out look on things our days seem to go better.
We can't keep letting the enemy steal our happiness. He's going to try for sure because he hates us and he hates that we love God. But the good thing is that joy comes for the lord. Nehemiah 8:10"...And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold." So if that was true then why wouldn't it be true now?
Anytime we're doing what God wants for our lives and choosing to live a life dependent on Him the enemy will come at us with resistance. We will come up against some hard stuff. But we can choose joy because it's a time where we can put our faith into practice.
We can't give up just because things get hard or we aren't seeing what we want come to pass right away. Be faithful and trust God. We can't let our faith get shaken. The enemy is so good at distracting us and getting us discouraged.
But we need to stay the course, pray and seek out what God has for us. Then hold on to that dream/plan and don't let it go. Things will get more peaceful when we are in His perfect will for our lives. It's not going to be perfect because we live in a fallen world. But it will be more peaceful and we will be living a more fulfilled lives.
