9/17/2009 Everything and I mean Everything happens for a reason

i always write a note on here to always give myself a reality check about how things are and whats going on. It is such a general statement "everything happens for a reason" but the words are so powerful because our of every circumstance, whether it is sooner or later, you find out the reason!! It is truly remarkable to me how stuff works out even with the bad. We all go through and experience good times and bad, but it is usually the bad that we dwell on and always get down about, but what really is there to complain about, if we are still living and breathing?? Things are never going to always go our way, and there are always going to be twists in life that are going to come out of nowhere and knock us on our butt. You can't always control the situation, but you can always control your attitude, on whether it is positive or negative. It is so funny at least in this point in my life because I am able to see that everything happens for a reason!! I am actually able to look back and be like "wow i know why i went through that and experienced that." I am so much stronger today and so much happier today with the decisions i have had to make and everything is soo less stressful!! I am truly thankful that Jesus is always at my side and guides me with my actions and thoughts. In my personal opinion i believe that so many ppl are too prideful, and always feel they have to be right all the time, and have it their way,etc. It is nice to be proud of yourself, but taking it to that level turns into sin and evil. It makes you feel like you can judge others and that you are better then everyone else. The truth is that we are ALL on the same level, we are all human and we all sin. From the bible: It's a narrow road that leads to eternal life, because people sin and too prideful, never give up!! be the light!! The devil wants us to be miserable, have no peace at all so he knows how to get us down when we are at our lowest, so we must NEVER sink to his level. Its like we have one foot in the world, and one foot in the kingdom. It is always going to be a constant struggle because we will never truly know everything, until we are with Jesus. So to summarize it all up, I just had to say that no matter your situation, everything happens for a reason, so just embrace it and put trust in God, because nobody greater can back you up. He knows the best for you and you will look back and see the reason and what you learned. GoD Bless, katyRose
