Okay, so my last article kind of referred to us be cautious about entering into relationships and waiting for God's guidance. And this doesn't have to just apply to relationships, this can apply to opportunities within your family or with a new job and waiting for what God's plan has laid out and not your own. So even though we do need to be pursuing Him and seeking His guidance we can't avoid opportunities and maybe even people He puts in our way.

Jump into His blessings. Simple. Usually, I hate New Year's resolutions but I have a simple one this year, well maybe it counts as two. But here they are:

1. Do things that make Jesus smile.

2. Do things that make me smile too.

No more living to please others, seeking acceptance from anyone, and no worrying about what others think.

It sounds cheesy but if we support each others' happiness and joy instead of tearing people down for their differences then the world would truly be brighter and more exuberant place.

With that being said, don't let anyone take away your happiness, your genuine joy. If God puts an opportunity or blessing in front of you that makes you happy, JUMP AT IT! Enjoy the blessings He has given us and glorify Him in that!

I hope that that spoke some words of encouragement for people that needed to hear it or needed a little sign to go for their dreams and chase what gives them joy instead of holding back and doing what other people say is right.
