My new life motto

Some words of wisdom on this Saturday morning:


"When you are joyful, be joyful; when you are sad, be sad. If God has given you a sweet cup, don’t make it bitter; and if He has given you a bitter cup, don’t try and make it sweet; take things as they come."

-Oswald Chambers

Take things as they come, and see them for what they are...good or bad. What a brilliant idea! Along with the good comes some bad, and that's okay. That's just the way it is! Experience things. Even if it's something you weren't planning on, experience everything. Good and bad...just roll with it.

 
I'm working on that these days, and this quote has inspired me. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Enjoy your weekend, friends!

  5. Julie, I'm so glad you are back!!!!!!

    I love this quote. I needed to read this as I tend to think of the worst and darkest things that can happen in this world and dwell on them.

  6. Sarah Barry, thanks so much! It's nice to know that you've been missed :) I'm glad to be back, and I need to get over to your blog and catch up on your life.

    I'm such a fan of this quote. I have a bad habit of trying really hard to avoid feeling sad or unhappy feelings. I'm realizing that it's okay to feel that way sometimes, just as long as you don't let yourself wallow around in it. Being Suzy Sunshine all the time can wear you out, so I'm learning to let myself just be in the moment...whatever the moment entails. Work in progress :)

    Happy weekend, friend!
