Optimist/Pessimist

For as long as I can remember, Jason and I have been polar opposites when it comes to seeing the good or bad in every situation...he usually sees the cup half empty, and I half full...sad to say lately I have noticed myself seeing it half empty...

Friday and Saturday I got to hang out with amazing friends of mine...Katie and Jane on Friday and Katie, Shane, Micah and Emily Klein on Saturday. And without knowing it, Katie and Emily both made me see that there is something positive to say and see in absolutely every situation...God brings all things in our life to grow us, good or bad!! Who am I to think anything is "bad"...."He has done all things well and He will continue to do all things all well" this is from Pastor Matt's sermon this Sunday. And he is exactly right!!! God loves me and has saved me from the pit of hell...who am I to complain???

So thank you Katie and Emily...I am not even sure which conversation you two shared your wisdom with me...but thank you.

I never thought of it, but your right.. there usually is something good/positive in every situation even though you dont always see it that way...

It is tought to see things good when we are in them if they seem soooo bad at the time...only GOD can see and already knows the end result and we just need to trust in that, in HIM

Great post...I love it when you share some wisdom from the word :)
God is so good even when life isn't, it still is because we have Jesus and only in Him its all good.
I need to remember this daily.
Thanks Shaina!
