Nothing

Weird topic I know, but let's talk about nothing! Last month I wrote a post about nothing on my Facebook site because around January 22nd it was heavy on my mind due to the fact that date is the anniversary of my baptism. Don't worry I'm not going to push my beliefs down your throat but I strongly believe in God and that day really moved me because the sermon was all about nothing and how God can create anything from nothing. At various points in my life I have allowed people or some circumstance make me feel like nothing, but after years have past I have grown to realize I am NOTHING. I am better than something because nothing is a blank canvas that has not reached maximum potential in life. I know Nothing is MUCH more powerful than something. I've always been confident in myself but I enjoy being a people pleaser because I like to see those around me happy. It seriously breaks my heart when I feel like I have hurt someone especially if after the fact I realize I handled a situation incorrectly I apologize and pray for forgiveness. In several situations I feel like I have been walked all over and felt defeated which I would never wish on anyone. I am sure you have been there too! I have been sitting in meetings where I felt others were getting ready to be walked on and because I was NOTHING compared to others in the room - I'm just a totally replaceable young blonde girl (oops woman)... I feel bad looking back on that because I should have stood up for those people that also are NOTHING! BUT when I think about NOTHING I do not feel bad for those people that are NOTHING but rather for the those that are so concerned about being something. Don't get me wrong I do not hold a grudge for things that have happened in the past because during all of the discussions about nothing I realized a grudge does not fix anything it only hurts the one that dwells on the negative. Negative attitudes cannot amount to NOTHING! Instead when I think back I realize anything that has pushed me down really has accomplished just the opposite and I am thankful for that! SO in closing I'm going through life so happy to be NOTHING and hope you feel like NOTHING everyday!!!!!
