Yesterday I heard a young lady named Nightbirde sing on AGT. She has cancer and still does. Her song was amazing and her outlook on life was as well. At one point she said that you simply can't wait until things are not hard to decide to be happy. I thought… Wow. We are so good at making our hard harder. We use it sometimes as a crutch, and miss out on the pockets of easy we are given. We give all our attention to asking God for a break so that we don't abandon the goal, the path, our dreams., but then we overlook it when we get that break. There really are no shortcuts to the things we know we must do to feel like we accomplished what we set out to do. There are going to be hard moments in every one of our days, but don't use the breathers, the guidance, the help and support to spend more energy on the negative. Instead take your moment and use it. Use it to recharge. Use it to get a footing. Use it to thank God for this opportunity to remember there is good… A lot of it. I think about what one of our priests said to me when I was in 8th grade at St. Mary's. He said that the education life will give us will often depend on how many tough courses we are willing to sign up for, and then stick out. These courses aren't pass or fail. They are pass or take God's hand and try it this time with Him as your teacher and your guide. Pay attention to what He provides. (Thank you Father Lonnie) Tough courses, trials, hard times… If you get a chance listen to Nightbirde. Listen and don't wait until there are no hard times to be happy.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you let yourself feel the joy, the good, the happy moments God provides. That you celebrate life and cherish every moment to live it.
Have a blessed, safe, and healthy day everyone.
