I have come to realize that I have to constantly make the choice to be happy. Life will throw you curbe balls and challenges and I am the only one who can decide how I am going to handle the situations. No matter how rude or mean other people are to me I can still be happy and not let others ruin my day. When life seems hard and stressful I learn to work through my feelings and move on. It's not worth it to me to stay mad about anything. The Bible tells us be joyful no matter what and to not let the enemy steal out joy. I am so happy to know the truth and be able to overcome life's challenges, eventually. I have been known to hold a grudge, too. But bitterness and resentment are not worth it. I need to forgive. The sooner the better. Others don't really seem to care how you feel or react. So it's not worth it to stay mad. Facing trials actually helps me to grow stronger and learn how to more effectively deal with angry people. I recall the commendment we were given in the Bible to love God with all our hearts and to love our neighbors (everyone else).
I also liked how Carrie Underwood says in one of her songs "love is all the matters after all". I hope she makes writes more christian songs and gives God the glory. She can be an effective witness and reach a lot of people.
