Good Looking Out...

"Instead of expecting things to go wrong, look for things to go right!"

I've determined in myself to live this quote in 2017. This has been a year of monumental change in my life; from selling a home and moving twice to building a new home; from having a baby to resigning from corporate America! And the list goes on...

Change brings excitement and feelings of uncertainty.  Throughout all the changes, there were times when I honestly didn't look for things to go right and that was wrong of me.  So today, the saying dropped in my spirit   ..."Instead of expecting things to go wrong, look for things to go right!"  This is what I plan to do going forward, in every area of my life.  

God continues to remind me to “Be still, and know that I am God...”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭KJV‬

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God loves us beyond our wildest dreams, but we have to realize that we play a part in generating our own peace.  His word tells us:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

"Instead of expecting things to go wrong, look for things to go right!"
