Thoughts on....
I believe in God. I am willing to make this statement and deal with
the reactions, both positive and negative, that come with it. Anyway, today is
Sunday, and my song of choice today is both spiritual and soulful ("I
Smile" has an interesting interpolation of Scarface feat. 2Pac
"Smile"). The "Hypeman of Gospel", better known as Kirk
Franklin, declares that we ALL (no matter where you are in your spiritual
journey, or if you are on a journey at all) look soooo much better when we
"Smile". We all have trying days (weeks, months, etc....) when life
rattles us, throws us on the ground, and kicks us while we are down. It is hard
to see a silver lining in the situation we are in. But, Kirk lets us know that
all things are temporary and we will be better on the backside of our trials.
We cannot control outside influences in our lives, but we DO choose
how we react to them! Will you waste time looking and feeling defeated over
every setback or disappointment in your life? Or, will you CHOOSE happiness and
open yourself up to the lessons learned in your trials?
I want you to choose happiness, joy, love, and positive thinking.
And, if you do believe in God, know His promises are true and He is indeed
working on your behalf! Our lives are only as fulfilling as we imagine them to
be. And, Kirk affirms my desires for your life with this statement at the end
of the song...
"I just want you to be happy...I want you to have joy, cause
can't nobody take that away from you."
