FAITH... is a very strong word... in every sense of it.. We ALL must remain strong in FAITH... I know this is very difficult .. I know because my own faith is tested everyday..... I find it hard to explain.. and lots of times I wish things were easier...but my faith has gotten me through some really rough times.. and I guess yesterday was no exception..
Sometimes we resort to worldly bad habits to get us through each day each moment but they are only really temporary fixes.. and most of the time they lead us into even more problems or situations that complicate matters more. Most of the time we all end up doing stupid things to mask the current situation and I've even learned the hard way myself. But my Faith is what leads me back and wakes me up!! I could never imagine not having the Lord to speak to everyday.. He's ALWAYS there for me... I think the hardest part is making sure I visit with Him EVERYDAY... and not just when things are going terrible... or really great... always keep consistent ....
Steady in my faith.....
Aloha & A Hui Hou...
Being thankful for the "little" things in our lives...
I was reading about this man, Nick Vujicic .. born without limbs!!! Yes, no arms and no legs.. but yet he is a inspiring successful motivational amazing person.. really made me think!! It made me think about the days I get up and my knees hurt.. or my ankles.. aren't working... or I keep looking at myself knowing that I really have to start to buckle down... and make some kind of dent in this weight loss situation!!! When you click on this entry and visit Nick's DvD...
or visit his website... he is an amazing testimony to all of us !!! I pray every day that I have even a quarter of this man's determination and drive. So when I get to the point and begin to get caught up with the negativities (sp??) of life.. I am going to start by at least writing down, recording, and constantly reminding myself each day how much I have to be thankful for.!!! Remembering and trusting that when God closes one door He ALWAYS opens another!!
So with that thought in closing we should ALL remember to be truly thankful for who we are and what we have... even the smallest things ... like brushing your teeth!!!
Aloha and A Hui Hou!!!!
Gratitude... what does that really mean?? A NOUN - the quality of being thankful or being grateful;. there are ways of being and showing "gratitude" for things, situations, circumstances etc. We all need to find ways to remember to do these things... and BE THANKFUL.. FOR EVERYTHING.... sometimes I understand that this can really be difficult... especially in these difficult times. We are all going through things. Divorce, financial issues, finding jobs, cancer, taking care of the elderly... soooo many circumstances and situations... and they all can be really overwhelming to say the least.. but we all have to remember to keep our strong FAITH in GOD... and REMAIN POSITIVE.... through EVERYTHING!!! I remember watching Oprah.. one of most favorite people... and SHE was the one that inspired me to start keeping a "Gratitude Journal". I believe she dedicated a whole show.. and promoted several writers regarding Gratitude. I will surely miss her shows.. We all should really try to do this everyday.. I choose to write and try to keep up this blogging thing to express my thoughts and feelings... it helps me relieve and reduce my stress... but most of all to remember to show my "Gratitude" and be thankful and to keep up my Gratitude Journal.
So as we start this new month.. of June.. I want to start out on the right foot .. by remembering to be thankful.. for ALL things... and learn from them.. and take the POSITIVE from ALL situations..
Aloha and A Hui Hou...............
