Attitude

This entry may be a little personal but it was what was on my heart. Do you notice that attitude is everything? Sometimes things in life happen where you have absolutely no control over it. The outcome of how it affects you is all about your attitude toward it. You can grumble and complain or you can suck it up move on. Bad things are going to happen! It's all part of life. How we react when those bad things come is a whole different story. Not only bad things will happen but unexpected things will as well. Life can change at the drop of hat but that doesn't mean that God is any different or that He's playing a hateful joke on us. He knows best! He sees the big picture when we have tunnel vision. Have things gone perfectly since I've been in Kenya? Absolutely not! Have I gotten discouraged at times? Yes! Does God still guide and direct my path? You betcha! The book of Romans says that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. God always tells the truth. We just have to trust Him and His Word. Our school is suffering right now and things are being said that are hurtful to others. People are behaving in ways that are deceitful. There's a lot of tension around campus. I'm not really a clueless person but I'd rather try to look on the upside of things. God knew what was going to happen with our school before it ever took place. He's knows what the future holds. Prayer is all that will change people and situations. Sometimes I think people need to do a lot less talking to others and a lot more praying to the God of the universe.
