“Be Happy”, is my life motto. 
I believe that by being happy and having a smile on your face you have the power to brighten someones day. 
Happiness is contagious, and I hope to spread it around where ever I go.

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.And weboast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings,because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wraththrough him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.Where there is hatred, let me sow love;where there is injury,pardon;where there is doubt, faith;where there is despair, hope;where there is darkness, light;and where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seekto be consoled as to console;to be understood as to understand;to be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen”

God is not an angry old man sitting up on a cloud.
He is the source of all energy in the universe.
He is greater than even the sun. 
He is the source of hope, peace, joy & love on the earth.
He lives in all of us through the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Just a Reminder.

J.D. -
“I was adopted at birth, so as i read the entire chapter of psalm 139, it blows my mind apart. Realizing that everywhere we go, HE IS THERE. 
I learned from his word that he was there before i was born. and in verse 16, every moment has already been laid out for me. 
So, from looking at these verses from the perspective of God making my path to be adopted and to be giving to people that i did not originally come from is something i can not describe. So many questions race through my head from why, to why choose the parents i have now? Why was i not able to stay with my original parents? 
I’ve come to this conclusion…
As Christ has mysteries that we will never understand or will be able to comprehend, I believe this is one thing God doesnt want me to comprehend. As Christ declared that it was finished by dying on the cross for our sins, it’s as if God has told me it is finished for connecting me to a path that was specifically made for me. 
As i realize ALL the things, oppurtunities, chances he has put in front of me, I realize that the only thing i should be showing and giving to God and others is thanks, love, mercy, kindness, compassion, sincerity. 
As i know now that God formed me in order to live this life out, I must give back what he has given me.”

It’s only by FAITH
that walls can be torn down.
It’s only by FAITH that
Joshua took down the walls of Jericho.
Where’s my bulldozer? 
Thanks for sharing!

I love this idea of grace. 
Grace that covers all our insecurities. 
all of our past mistakes.
all of our fear. 
I don’t know the key to keeping this mindset..
but we are learning one day at a time!
Something we haven’t talked about on BOLA is INFERIORITY.
Sometimes we think we will never be good enough!
BUT WE ARE!
Thank you for sharing this!

I am thinking the same things lately.
Being single is much harder than I ever could have expected…
But there is a few positives to remeber!
- It is very cheap to be single! (especially for guys)
- There is no wasted time on wondering about a existent or non-existent future with that significant other
- You have so much more time to find yourself… for YOURSELF!
- You can spend more time exploring God and His plan for your life. 
The time will come to meet someone.
but in the most perfect timing. 
Most of the time we write our own stories… especially here at BOLA.
but the story of Love is one that should be written in the book of destiny. 
Don’t settle for anything less.

Psalm 33:21 – You heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help… Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
I choose to put my HOPE in the Lord.
If I put it in
MYSELF
OTHERS
OBJECTS
RELATIONSHIPS…
it will not sustain. 
Only God can sustain me. 
Only God can hold me.

“Much physical & emotional damage had occured in my life at a young age.
Some of which carried into my adult life.
After another disaster at age 21, I found God.
His love & word saved me.
So I choose to laugh & joke
(especially when nervous)
but some mistake that as not “being smart” or not taking me seriously
I am a beautiful disaster in Christ!”
