     "Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.  It just means that you've decided to see beyond the imperfections." by (idk)

     "If the wind blows a wrinkle in your cloth, don't be angry with nature.  For it is only God letting you know that you are bringing darkness to others." by Me

"Be beautiful for you because if you try to be beautiful for others you will never feel beautiful because everyone has their own idea of what is beautiful."  by Me

     Those are just a few inspirational quotes to brighten your day and make you think.

     Do you ever have those moments where you know God stepped in, took you by the hand, and walked you through those particular moments in your life?  I like to call those moments 'God Moments'.  Now, truthfully, I don't remember whether someone told me about 'God Moments' or if I came up with it on my own.  I have used it to describe different moments in my life, that I know were God's doing, for so long that I can't remember.  Either way, that's what I call them now.  Anyway, I want to tell you about a 'God Moment' that I had just last week.  There had been some things that had been stressing me out about my job.  So much so that I didn't even want to go to work.  On this particular day I was sitting in my car outside my work on the verge of crying because I didn't really want to go into work.  Now, it really wasn't because I didn't like my job, because I really do, but there were just some things about it that were worrying me.  I had been doing a lot of praying about this.  As I was waiting in my car I turned on my radio and 'Smile' by Uncle Kracker came on and my tears broke free because I believed that God was telling me that he was answering my prayers.   I believed that He was telling me to 'smile' and that everything was going to be alright.  I was right!  I had a great day at work and have every day since then.  

     One thing that I know that I sometimes forget, and most people do, is the fact that things will happen in God's time, not in ours, and so we get impatient.  Not that we necessarily mean to.  We just do.  Sometimes though people get so impatient with God that they give up on him and think that He doesn't care about them or love them.  This is so not true!  God always knows what is best for us.  We just need to have a little faith.  Now, if you are one of those people that gets impatient and lacks faith, read the lyrics to the song 'Have a Little Faith in Me' written by John Hiatt and pretend that it is God speaking (or singing if you listen to the link I provided) to you.  

     Well, that's all I have for right now.  I will post later.  I hope that everyone has a glass-overflowing-day!  Remember to 'smile'!  Take care and God bless!

Love,
