a new experience
a new way of thinking
a movement
a new concept
no, actually, none of the above...
this is a personal choice that we are doing as a family
our personal choice to look upon life with simplicity and positivity
no complaining or uttering negativity
what started as something for me, has been taken to by Jason... and now the kids
I didn't force anything upon them... they saw the changes... they noted the difference... however slight it was
when you are raising six children in a traditional atmosphere, while so many others are, well, 'not', one might start to think they 'should' do more
there are so many things I do not share in my online journal... like complaints
everyone's life is deep... mine is ever so deep and sometimes I myself get caught down in that 'abyss'
there are times when I just need to step back and make sure I am keeping my life simple...
and simplicity to me is keeping my eyes wide open and noticing all the political 'goo' and the world's disasters and all of that... I am not blind to the restrictions our government seems to be pushing upon us... I know all about all of that, but keeping positive as much as I possibly can
so did Christ
now, think of that for just a bit... when Christ was alive and his heart was beating upon this Earth within His body... His eyes saw so much that was not good... His hands helped so very many who needed help... his feet walked and led others towards only a positive way of thinking... of being...
connecting the true person of who Christ was into our daily lives can be quite challenging... after all, it was over 2,000 years ago... but Christ was born, was walking around, preached, and lived amongst others
the light He brought forth was exactly that... light
not darkness and oppression
not hatred and judgment
but He brought light upon the darkness... and still does
being positive at all times He was
even when casting out the merchants in God's house; he showed them by force but to a good... not to focus on money
Life and Money gets in the way of positivity I see
you want to live your life free... with unabashed creativity to do what you want... free...
our society has taught that you need to feel joy and happiness when you are successful... have money to do the things you want... and blogging is not helping with this situation...
every blog you go to you sit at your chair behind the computer screen and choose to judge or to accept
Christ accepted everyone for who they were... 'forgive them Father, for they know not what they do'
seperating the sin from the sinner
even the people who just tortured and murdered Him he forgave
so that is exactly what will lead me... or lead you... to positivity
forgiving yourself for any wrong doing you did... if you need to go to confession: go
if you need to tell God sorry; do
don't wait another moment to start this project positive
it is a challenge... and it's up to you to think if it is a hard challenge or a fun challenge... catch yourself even to stop thinking of negativity... no matter what
for some of you who are experiencing some very trying times... dealing with the death of someone you love... dealing with cancer... or some serious life altering situation, I know that being positive is difficult at this time... it takes small steps for some and big steps for others
definitely make some time to thank God for the certain blessings you do have — and make sure to get on your knees in adoration and thanks every evening
you heard me
on your knees
when is the last time your kids 'caught' you in prayer by your bedside on your knees? when is the last time you 'caught' them by their bedside on their knees? kneeling in adoration humbles who you are and exalts Who is worthy of adoration
this challenge takes nothing more but the will to do it...
free will
if you are reading blogs that you get jealous of: stop being negative towards them... this is not healthy... you don't want to be judgmental any longer... you want to be happy for them in their success or failures whether they have 45 followers or 4,500 followers
what is important in life is very misconstrued here on the net... or can be... if you are looking at it with negativity
think positive
think project positive
I know you can do it... if I can do it...
xo + positive blessings,
