The Decision to Follow...

Yes, Miss Gracious. I did just copy your post heading. I hope your OK with that, because I felt that there were no other titles that fit this post. Bear with me, everyone. 

So, like Gracious I had a pretty tough week. But I've learned a lot of really important lessons through it. Here's a few. :)

Really. Sitting there will not help you. At. All. I learned this week it actually makes you more anxious and overwhelmed. In church today we talked about saying 'No' to bad decisions and saying 'Yes' to good ones. Sometimes, I think it's harder for us to say 'Yes' maybe because of fear, or because of laziness, or... anything really! But one thing we decided is that we need to find the Courage to flick the light switch ourselves and find the way to God's light.



 
Only God can lead you through the Darkness and make something Great out of something difficult. But we have to LET Him. He can't do anything without our consent, without us reaching out our hands for Him to grab. I think that letting Him is the hardest step. Because we have to let go of all of our pride and just do it. Which is much easier said than done. But it is so much easier to get through life's awfulness if we just LET HIM  Grab our hand. 



Gracious, this one's for you. :) <3! Help and Happiness will come if we Trust God, and have FAITH in good things to come. We need to always remember that 'Christ never said it would be easy, He just promised it would be worth it.' And we'll all make it through. 

Love you all! Never forget to smile! :)
