You Choose Your Attitude

So yes, it's been awhile since I posted on my blog. Life has been same. Nothing has changed much. Well, except that Ba Ba's growing up a little too fast. Oh yes way too fast. Can't believe that he's already 19 months. But he's still a cute little kid. Totally adorable!

I've been thinking a little about stuff as usual. I remember listening to a sermon once and that pastor said that we may not be able to change the situation that we are in but we are able to change our attitudes and when that happens, it would be easier or at least more bearable for us to face the situation. That kinda got me thinking.

Well in life, we do not always get what we want. And the earlier we come to realize that, the easier our lives get. Hence, when little Ba Ba throws a tantrum, he never gets what he wants. And yes, do you know how ugly it is for an adult to throw a hissy fit at work? Anyway, yes, sometimes it's hard when we don't get what we want. Or sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we don't like. So what do we do? Stamp our feet and demand it? Well, sometimes that work and what if it doesn't work?

What happens when we find ourselves in sickness or our loved ones in sickness? Or job situation changes? And yes, there's a million and one situations that we can find ourselves in. The situation may look bleak but should we wallow in it? Or have an attitude of faith that God will take care of things? Over the years, I've learnt through the hard and easy ways to present my burdens to God and know that He will take care of it.

A week ago, someone from our cell group shared about the first Saturday after Good Friday. He asked us how do you think Jesus's disciples felt on that Saturday after Jesus died? And he likened that Saturday to the trials or situations that we might be in. I shared and said that I believe for the disciples it would have been very difficult as they have never been through it before. But for me, I've seen Jesus coming through and walking me through difficult situations that I'm no longer as worried about life as possible. I've been through some very difficult times and He has seen me through those dark times so what have I got to worry?

So ha! Maybe I spoke too fast. There were some things that were presented to me this week in which I've to make a decision. The deadline is next week. It's not something really bad. It won't probably affect my lifestyle or the relationship between Babe and me but there might be slight changes. We prayed about it. Deep down in me, I feel that God has already spoken to me but at the same time, I'm reluctant to obey in some ways. So what do I do?

I'm going to choose my attitude. And my attitude is? I'm going to listen to God because I know that whatever it is, He has plans to prosper me not He wants no harm to come to me but He has hopes and a future for me.
