I ain't no "Debby Downer"

I'm really not sure where this week went.. I looked at the date of my last blog and realized that it had already been that long since my last post. Hmm, well anyway, moving on..

I feel like I always want to blog when I've had my down days and I'm not sure why..
Since the title of my blog is, "Optimism and Faith; Hope and Confidence" I think I should probably start blogging specifically about those things. Or maybe I should just be living my life in the way that I never have a down day.
I mean, everyone has their moments but it's quite possible that I have them a little too often. Now don't take me wrong, I ain't no "Debby Downer" but my moods aren't always how they should be. If one thing in my day is a little off, it seems to affect my mood more than it should. I try and stay positive but that is one thing I need to really work on.

I need to make a new habit... and that's to wake up and do a bible study in my daily devotional every single morning. Just to start my day off right and have some extra back up for when my mood wants to crash..
The only problem is, I don't want it to feel forced and feel like "I have to do it." I want to just simply.. WANT to do it.
I want God to put that in my heart. Because as I said in my last post, I want to be all for Him. And that can only start with a serious and intimate relationship with Him.
I feeeeel like me and Jesus could get along quite nicely. I mean, I'm prettyyyy sure that He's my type (if I even have a type) and ya know, I think we could get to that serious stage..
We won't just be like a summer fling. He's a little bit cooler than that.

My hope is that my prayers will be answered..
I have true faith in Jesus and that He will put this in my heart. I mean, lets be real.. who wouldn't want a relationship with someone as awesome as me?! Ok, I was totally kidding.. I'm not like that. I PROMISE!! But He's really good at making things happen.. He's a good listener.
And I'm pretty sure, sooner or later, all my passion and drive will be put into Him and strictly Him alone.. He is my one and only. My true LOVE.

As I wrote this post, conveniently, this song was playing...

"Have you ever wanted to be someone else
Have you ever wanted to be someone
Have you ever wanted to reach your dreams
Have you ever wanted life to be more than it seems
I have tasted of a love so wide
That it stops all my time
I have tasted of a love so deep
That it blows my mind
Have you ever wanted to reach up and touch the sky
Have you ever wanted to pack it up and say good-bye
Have you ever wanted someone to care
Have you ever wanted someone to be there
I have tasted of a love so wide
That it stops all my time
I have tasted of a love so deep
That it blows my mind
He is sweet, He is sweet
What your looking for
Is my sweet, sweet Jesus
What You're looking for
Is my sweet Lord."
