Life is defined by our chosen perspective

Life is full of twists and turns and bumps and hills.. Often when we discuss life we tend to gravitate towards those trying, tough, hard, and desperate times.. as we tell our story we talk of survival, perseverance, overcoming, and deliverance.. Why do you think we go there? Is it because we have more of this experiences than others? Could it be that the negatives have impacted us more? What if it’s based on what resonates with others? We all have struggled and we all have been in the valley and so we find agreement and camaraderie in the trials and battles. Dare I direct our hearts toward life’s other side.. ?

Recently, my Jess and our two younger children, Jasper, (17) and Jaycie (16) traveled to Hot Springs for a basketball game. We decided to leave early because we could go downtown and walk around to enjoy the beauty, history, and peacefulness that is special to us. While walking around enamored and excited about the cool, fall, evening we encountered two different street musicians .. one with a guitar and a vulgar quote taped to his mic stand and the other playing trumpet poorly while sitting on a bench. They were a mere few hundred feet apart.. I noticed that many who passed the guitar guy were reading the vulgar quote.. they would laugh or smile and give change or a few $1 bills.. then, just as many, would raise eyebrows at the poorly played trumpet guy and walk on by.. Did you notice what I didn’t comment on at all, so far? The guitar guy’s playing…! That because I never heard him play! He was just standing there… but because he made people laugh or smile he was receiving far more positive attention. The guy on the bench, attempting to play a trumpet was not connecting with hearts.. he was annoying ears. My family passed the guitarist and my kids nor wife even acknowledged his existence. I’m sure they saw him and read his quote, but they chose to avoid the trap. As we approached the trumpeter I saw facial expressions change and quickly force themselves expressionless as they walked by. Then we all stopped and Jess reached for her purse… I was feeling the same thing and so I reached out and took the money she had pulled from her wallet, I trotted back down to the trumpeter and dropped the cash in his trumpet case.. He paused mid song and said “Thank ya” I smiled and said “No, thank you!”

You see my kids and wife had chosen what to give their attention too.. they chose to invest in poorly done good rather than better done bad. Satan knows how to keep us connecting to bad. He presents it and we connect with it. God had given us plenty of positive, good, inspiring, life to talk about, focus on, and even glorify Him for.. but truly we can just choose to focus on what is best for our souls and minds. Even if the presentation isn’t as pretty as Satan’s deception!

it’s easy to fall into darkness:

six not-so-easy steps to get out

don’t let it consume you

talk yourself out of the darkness

you are the only one who can help yourself in the end

but rely on people, you’re not by yourself

cry it out, drain yourself of the sadness and fill it with something that makes you happy

take time to figure out who you are

I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE🙌 Song Written 1977 by Vivian Parker "Ms V" Before Going Into Prison Ministry!

Are you troubled or in 🤷🏽‍♂️doubt? Are you wondering if there is anyway out? Do you wonder if God's ✝️Word is true? How many times has this happened to you? In this video Ms V shares a song that God gave her back in 1977. The name of the song is I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE. Vivian Parker "Ms V" was inspired to write this song before going into Prison Ministry full-time with her husband John Parker. They were serving God in ministry and raising their eight children at the time! Ms V had a lot of questions and concerns about going into ministry full-time. She had a lot of considerations and unsureness on her part! God gave Ms V the song I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE to reassure her more than anything and to increase her faith in God! Hopefully, the song I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE will speak to you in a time in your life when you need some reassurance! God Bless You!😊

What do you think about most? Where do you give focus? . Where your focus goes, energy flows. . Give focus to the things you don’t have, to the things you can’t do, the things that sadden you, the things that make you mad... and you will get more of that. . But, shift your focus on the things that make you happy, the things that you DO have, the things that you can control... and you will get more of that! . Easier said than done for sure. But SO worth it! . Show love and gratitude for all things and watch your life change! ❤️ . #loa #lv #focusongood #believeinpossibilities #happiness #gratitude #thehealthhacker #selfashfit #manifestations #livethegoodlife #forgetthepast #livingtothrivenotjustsurvive https://www.instagram.com/p/CGjMUvRMJ05/?igshid=8fkgv8qjzffv
