Funny how God puts messages in front of you when you need them most. We just need to have the strength and courage to listen to them with an open heart, an open mind and the willingness to use the message our life - even when you don't think that you need (or want) to.
Recently God has used so many people and situations in my life to talk to me about what I choose to focus on and what I allow to shape me. Am I choosing to focus on the negative and let that rule my personality? Am I allowing people or situations to shape me in a positive way? It is an eye opening experience to look at what you allow to affect you. It is also the biggest, most conscious, challenging decision to focus on the positive and allow God to continue to shape you. Not into the person you want to be but the person God knows you are and has created you to be.
