Life is a theater...

My mood: BOUNCY!

Life is a theater so invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is spiritually healthy and mature enough to have a front row seat in our lives. Yes, we need to love everyone but there are some people in our lives that need to be loved from a distance.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you LET GO, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere people. You should just sit one day and observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to:

Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are steadily going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand?

We all should know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within us. When you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life. You cannot change the people around you...but you can change the people you are around! Ask God for godly wisdom and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.

What a great day to be alive!

My mood: BLESSED! :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to a rainy but beautiful weekend. I just wanted to be short and to the point today and give ya something to think about that has been weighing on me heavily, so here it goes...

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but opening your hands to receive something better that we may not see without the turn or "struggle" or "conflict" he puts in front of us. Yeah, times get tough, we cry, we get upset, we struggle, but for what? It can't rain forever and the will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. Think about it and have a wonderful Friday!!!!
