The Good News!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a good week, so far.
I waited until now, so I could type in peace. Cody is in bed, as he usually is, by this time, and Jeremy is in the shower. So this is my hour of alone time before I go to bed. That is, if my cat leaves me alone.
Anyway, I have to tell you all, about 2 new songs, I just heard, this past week. Both of them are songs on the new Rascal Flatts CD. The first one is "Unstoppable," and the other is "Things That Matter."
If you listen to everyword of these songs, you will be amazed at the message you get from them. And, as many times as I've listened to them, I still hear something different, everytime I listen to them again.
Isn't it funny, how you can read something. or hear something, and it applies to whatever may be going on in your life, as well as what may be going on in someone elses' life? It's all a matter of how we interpret the words.
I remember the church that my kids and I went to, in Champaign. The message our Pastor would preach on Sunday, hit home with not only my family, but everyone in the congregation.
That, is why God made us all different! We can do anything, be anything, and dream anything that we want.
I personally, like to analyze everything. Many times, that may be my downfall, but I'm quite curious about life in general.
I am inspired by music, books, and people I may encounter in my journey through this world.
I spend more time laughing now, than I ever have before. At least once a day, I have one of those moments, that cause me to go, okay, I get it now. Then I smile, and watch for the next one.
The best part, though, has got to be the fact, that the past gets a little further away, everyday.And let me tell you, living for today, is pretty cool!
If you all haven't been doing any reading, "The Secret," is still a must read, and "The Secret of Letting Go," by Guy Finley, is a good one too.
If you're happy with your life, congratulations! If not, start doing something about it.
In my life alone, I've personally seen miracles happen, and had God speak to me.It's not the earth shaking, or an awe inspiring event, unless that's what you asked for. Sometimes it's just a quiet, unmistakeable feeling or event, that gets your attention, just enough, so that you know it was meant for you.
It's been awhile, since I've watched the news, and quite honestly, it is so much eaier to talk to God, without all the depressing stuff that's on TV. And I haven't suffered one bit by NOT watching it either. Last time I checked, the world is still revolving.
So I have a challenge for all of you. For one week, don't watch any news coverage, of anything. You know what channels have the news, in your area. No news on the radio either, or the newspaper.
Read a good book, listen to your favorite music, TALK to your family, and if anyone tries to talk about anything negative, tell them that, if they don't have anything positive to say, you don't want to hear it.
I promise you, you will be amazed, at how easy it is, even after the first day. We all control whatever comes into our life. So if you only want positive, you can have it.
It will change your life!! And your life is worth it.
I'll be in touch with some of you before next week, but take my challenge and let me know how it goes for you. Any feedback is welcome.
Talk to you all soon!
