A negative times a negative equals a POSITIVE

Okay so maybe thats a wierd title, but when you consider I have been looking at everything as though the glass was only half full, you can see where the negativity comes from. But that was before last nights service. The worship music rocked, I think Jeff was Van Halen in a former life or something. But the key was the message. Our God is a God of newness. He will always be the rock, the foundation, but that doesn't mean he is stagnant. I'm trying to accept the new things God has in store for me (Toni in Boston, being all alone, feeling like an old man) and accept them as blessings of newness. Toni in Boston is a great chance for her to explore her dreams and for our love to grow stronger as we take on the challenge of being across the country, and me being alone means I have more time to focus on myself and being a better man, both for the Lord and also for Toni. My new look has caused me to realize that even though I totally don't deserve it, I have the most beautiful girlfriend, who for some reason loves me back and wants to marry me. How lucky can a guy get... You see all these guys with their fantasy girls that don't even know they exist, and my fantasy girl already loves me and wants to be with me, forever. You know sometimes you just gotta smile and let the blessings flow.

Thank God for church and glasses half full!
