Be Confident!

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 29, 2008, 11:56 PM
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

--Proverbs 3: 5-6

Many times in life, we find ourselves not knowing what to do or to whom to turn to. We find ourselves alone. And even if there are people around us, we still find ourselves alone. We feel that we live in a very deep hole. We feel that there is no way out of that deep hole and that our future looks very uncertain.

We worry too much. And miss what's really important in life because of that worry. We get frustrated too many times and don't realize that there are other ways better to spend our time than be worried about things too often.

Lately, I've been learning that I shouldn't worry. And that if I want to live a happy life, I have to make a choice. I have to choose to be happy despite of all the circumstances happening around me. Yes, believe it or not, WE have a choice. And how you choose to conduct yourself in life's most difficult situations will determine whether you live happily or not.

And the best way to do that is to cast all your cares on God.
You cannot fight your inner battles alone. Once you learn to trust and lean on God, then you will be victorious. He wants us to trust Him. He wants us to lean on him. He wants us to do it with all heart.

May this message be of blessing to all of you who read this.
And may God pour onto you His Grace.

God bless you all,
Maritza.

Keep learning it. It's a hard lesson to learn. You'll be the better for it.

I'm keeping a positive head on my shoulders, too.
The trick is not to stay down but to get up when you feel down.
I've been learning that lesson, lately.

Life is OK. Up and down. Financially down but artistically way up!

You are always welcome, Dave.

So, how has life been treating you since we've last conversed?

I have been well, so I can't complain. Just stirring things up for myself to put more excitement in my own life...^__^

Matt: I'd like to meet Jesus Christ. Eh just because I'd be interested to know how he did it all. You know what I mean? You know...making fish out of bushes and stuff.

Georgeana,
I really appreciate your welcome!
I not only love your jewelry, I also love the way you set them for the photographs. I never thought in placing them on a mirror.

Yup, I sold it but I can still make a similar piece if you like? And I am still willing to send you pics through e-mail.

Well, I have PayPal and for that a Bank transfer is required. I think a bank transfer can work. Hmmm, the Madarin and flowers, I have to check. I probably sold that one. But, I can make something just like it, if you like. Plus, I can send you pictures of my other jewelry, the ones that I don't have posted.

Send me your e-mail and I'll send you the pictures. In the meantime, let me check to see if I still have that one. If not, I have no problem in making you another one like it.

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll be waiting for your response on this.
Have a really nice day.

ahhh yes i can imagine the pain in the arse it must be. Well i just thought the manderin and flowers necklace was beautiful, but i live in england and the only way i can make a payment in through BAC (Bank transfer) so how painful is that including expense ?
~vanityfair:iconvanityfair: Jan 8, 2008, 7:22:47 PM
Yes, I do sell my jewelry. I'm glad you asked. And I will sell overseas if the client doesn't mind paying the High Shipping costs. It's usually a hassle when Shipping is involved but I'm sure we can work something out.

In terms of jewelry, what do you have in mind?
