Form your hasty opinions, but only God can judge me!
God is teaching me some very important lessons in life right now. Learning to tune into HIM more and tune everyone else out!

Positive quotes for those facing adversity
When I face adversity, I seek God, His word and positive quotes! When trouble arises, remember to seek God for guidance, trust in Him only for your worries, stay as positive as possible, keep your head up and focus on bettering yourself.
Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

I swear Joel Osteen writes his emails for me. I just wanted to share because I’m not the only one who needs encouragement.
Handling Adversity
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.”
(Romans 5:3–4, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
The way you handle adversities has a huge impact on your success in life? If you shrink back, choose to get bitter and lose your enthusiasm, then you are allowing the difficulties of life to bury you. You are allowing hardship to keep you from your God-given destiny. But if you choose to keep pressing forward with a smile on your face, rejoicing even in the hard times, you are allowing God’s character to be developed inside of you. You are setting yourself up for promotion.
Think about this: the only difference between a piece of black coal and a priceless diamond is the amount of pressure that it’s endured. When you stand strong in the midst of the trials and difficulties in life, when you allow God to shape and mold your character, it’s like going from a piece of coal to a priceless diamond. Those difficulties are going to give way to new growth, new potential, new talent, new friendships, new opportunities, new vision. You’re going to see your life blossom in ways that you’ve never even dreamed!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for giving me strength to overcome every obstacle in life. I choose to rejoice no matter what may come against me. I know You are working all things together for my good in Jesus’ name! Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
When Bad Things Happen to Good People…
Keep your head up. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers!
