Lifted Spirit

I've had a good day so far. I got invited to breakfast with Ben and Jacob, which was cool cuz I slept in and might have skipped breakfast otherwise. We were a bit late to church today, but it was ok. I enjoyed the worship band. Patricia King's speaking was good. It was a confirmation to what God has been teaching me lately. She spoke on living good in the midst of bad. It really made me feel as though I've been headed in the right direction. God has been teaching me a lot and I've noticed that sometimes it's all about the attitude you have. Normally there's good and bad to every situation, even if it seems like there's only bad. You can either focus on the bad or you can focus on what God can do with that. I've been through/in some pretty difficult situations lately and I can see the potential for God to change those situations, but I also know that even if He doesn't I've still learned valueable lessons from them. I try less and less to simply get out of bad situations and focus more and more on what it is that God wants me learning in those situations. And sometimes it's just something that you wouldn't expect.

But of this I am certain, what you have begun in faith; continue in faith. My faith is not determined by my circumstances (even this is a statement of faith), but the word of God remains true to the very end regardless of how God will work out His plan.
