    Nothing Is Impossible

    People who think positively can see potential in even the most discouraging situations, while those who think negatively are quick to point out problems and limitations. This goes beyond the proverbial idea of simply seeing a glass "half full" or "half empty" and extends to actually making decisions and taking actions based on either positive or negative thinking. Have you ever noticed how negative thinking blows things out of proportion? Problems start to seem larger and much more difficult than they really are. Sometimes, a problem may actually be impossible...in the natural. And a negative mindset forgets that nothing is impossible to God. Meditating on God's Word will rid you of negativity and help you refocus on who God is. A positive mindset based on God's Word knows that nothing is beyond God. He is always present. I've trained my brain to believe God and His Word, and I've experienced the power available to me through God when I've trusted Him more than my circumstances. We need to always remember that nothing is impossible with God.

    With a start to a new year, usually I'd say I'll have a new resolution and a must do item list, but this year, I just feel like things will be "new" anyhow and I just need to prep myself for the ride and be ready to get off at the right stop at the right time. Perhaps I should also start believing in what Joyce mentions today for my devotion...nothing is impossible, even if situations seem discouraging and my logic tells me that probably things won't work the way I'd like it to.

    But I'm happy =]. I'm happy and thankful for all the things that are happening in my life every single day now. And no way do I take it for granted. Just yesterday I moved over to my new home in Lund for the next month or so and I just love it very very much. Being able to stay with 6 other friends makes me feel like I have a family over here in Sweden and it makes me feel right at home. I've never had a 熱鬧 home before so I really treasure the times I have with them...even if I'm not much of a talker and I like to listen to whatever they have to say. God has definitely planted so many friends around my life to be blessings to me. All the Christmas presents, cards, text messages, new years count down...aii...how can I be so 幸福?

    Yes I'm scared to come back to Vancouver. I'm scared of reality. As one by one all of my friends who have graduated have found jobs already I'm even more nervous because I feel like everybody has moved on to the next stage but I'm still here. So I guess my one big must do list is to be better at planning and dedicate myself every single day once I come back to job searching. Back at part time February =]. That I'm looking forward to.

    幸福，從我相信我是公主開始。。。

    I believe la =]. I am a 公主！Hahaha...and I'll try to believe in happily ever afters from now on.

    一月一號。。。我希望我已經找到了我的幸福 =]. 神啊，我求祢祝福我們吧，好嗎？可以嗎？
