Joy

Don't let the devil steal your joy. That's one of the cornerstones of Joyce Meyer's teachings. I know some people get weirded out when the devil is referred to, because it seems so hard-core. But I've come to realize  that if we acknowledge his presence, we become aware of him and thus become better able to fight and suppress him and his works.

I wanted to remind myself of everything that makes me happy  so I created my own lists events, occasions, people and memories in my life because through this i can see how truly blessed I am.

A Quiet Life

We all want to live a quiet, private and serene life. But we often find it difficult when we are surrounded by people whom we directly and indirectly know for they too, like everyone else, can influence the way we live. As Christians, we are commanded to love one another as CHRIST loved us and to be at peace, if it is possible, with everyone. We are also encouraged to make it our aim to lead a quiet life, to mind our own business and to work with our hands so that we are not tempted to meddle in the affairs of others. 

The Truth About Life

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
