Our world is a world of ever-changing trends.   Some people give too much importance to their physical appearance and qualities.  What seems to matter to most of us is if our looks are enough to be accepted by the world.  We tend to be discontent with the physical qualities that have been bestowed upon us from birth, thus negating our Biblical attire and our Maker.   This sometimes leads to distorted Christian morals. 

While some people are so unfortunate to be born with physical defects, here we are constantly discontent with what we already have.  We are truly blessed, let us consider God as our designer, and accept our design without need for change. We are all beautiful in the eyes of God! 

Here’s a video of an amazing young girl named Grace, who in her young age and condition accepts herself as she simply is.. She is beautiful!

Psalm 139:14-16

14  I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15  My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16  Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope implies a certain amount of despair, wanting, wishing, suffering or perseverance — i.e., believing that a better or positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary – Wikipedia 

In a world that’s full of pain and hardships, violence, struggle, we have to teach our children to have that sense of hope.  Life is difficult to live if we don’t have hope.  Life is meaningless if it’s hopeless.  Problems, trials and challenges may come, but as long as we have hope, and of course, the initiative to find our way, there is always a better future in store for everyone.   

As they say, "at the end of a the rainbow is a pot of gold"… and "behind every cloud is a silver lining"…

Let’s help keep hope alive!

Here’s a little video I picked up from Jen Lemen’s blog that touched my heart so much, I would like to share to all of you…

keeping hope alive!

Watch this video of the finale of the American Idol where David Cook, the most talented and deserving artist wins the crown he definitely deserved! I thought both David’s (David Cook & David Archuleta) were truly talented, each in his own way and style, and they both were amazing until the end of the season!

Congratulations, David Cook!
