Staying Positive
Thursday, February 28, 2008

Personally, the purpose of blogging is not to write about negative stories or to rant about work, students, family or life on a public platform. It is my intention to use this platform to share about the joys of life. However, to say that life is always a bed of roses is completely untrue too. Undeniably, we all go through rough patches some point in our lives.

I have been feeling very down lately. I tried to catch myself from spiraling downwards and to cast all the negative thoughts away, but it's not always successful. I guess it's easier said than done.

Nonetheless, I'm thankful for a husband who will point me to God during times like this. A verse from Philippians 4:8 came to my mind instantly and brought me back to focus. Though it's going to be an uphill task, I want to stay positive and focus my mind only on things which are good.

To those who are hurt, discouraged and lost, may God's Word be a lamp to your feet and may you find solace in His Word. Stay Positive!

Philippians 4:8 (New King James Version)
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
