Positive Pessimists

Mum and I decided, over lunch today, that we were both positive pessimists. We expect the worst in every situation, so as not to get too disappointed, but we try to remain cheerful about our circumstances.

Mum used to be a positive optimist. But ever since marriage, she's been dragged down by the huge figure of negative pessimism dad is.

And therefore, I am what I am.

But- I want all these to change. I don't want to continue living a life feeling mundane, lousy and useless. I believe that I will be able to achieve the many things that the Lord has planned for me, only if I am able to envision myself doing them. I cannot limit God in my life. When the land is flowing with milk and honey, but inhabited by aliens, I want to be like Joshua- full of faith- who'll say, "my God is much bigger than what is before me. Because of Him, I am well able!" I will go only as far as I see myself going! Since I am a child of the most high God, and I have His favour upon me, good things will happen to me. The going will not necessarily be easy... but it will be GOOD.

This will be a year of breakthrough. :)
