Stand Up Stand Out

There comes a time in everyones life when they need to stand up for something. Whether it be not eating meat, getting out of a abusive relationship, or for your religious beliefs. Even if it is the hardest thing you felt you've had to do; you always come out better on the other side.
I believe if I hadn't been tested I wouldn't have known what I truly believe in. I now know where I stand on so many beliefs and issues. God has pulled me out of what could have been a detrimental conversation and potentially relationship damaging into a positive boost in my self esteem. 
I really can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Look to God and the Bible to make good out of the bad, and don't give in to the Devil relentless attempts to bring you down through anger, gossip, and stress. 

Turn your eyes to the sky, instead of down to cry. 
Keep God by your side, and in your heart He will reside.
Stand up for what you believe, even if it seems you won't succeed.
God's always looking out for you, He will always get you through.

  1. Very well said....you may remember Pat Morrison often said..."keep looking up"...it was good advice when he said it and it is great to hear you saying it too. Keep looking at the big picture, looking forward watching for and then following Gods lead.

  2. It was good to read this, at times I wish I was as strong as you. We all need to remember to keep God in our lives and he will lead us.
