The universal language.

sonreír.  glimlag.  微笑.  lächeln.  sorriso.  미소.  uśmiech.  sorrir.  gülümseme.  

smile.
Each of these characters say the same thing.  Though they seem very different in the way they are presented, they all produce the same results.  The one language that speaks for itself. A way to say a thousand words without saying anything at all! What makes this expression so universal?  We all smile in the same language.  This simple act of pulling the corners of our mouths up towards our eyes is so significant in the rush of this everyday world.  I am so blessed to be reminded of this wonderful ability to be happy... to smile.  If you are finding it hard to smile, try making someone else smile.  Give a compliment, crack a joke and allow yourself to be HAPPY!  So if you need a little pick-me-up, try smiling.  Being the quote girl I am, these ones made the list! :)

And now for the grand event!  The video that changed my whole outlook on life!  The one and only: Validation! (It's long, but worth it)

So, this is the story of a girl.  The story of a girl who is surrounded by smiles, happiness and laughter. The story of a girl who is blessed to have so many wonderful people in her life that allow her to smile.  The story of a girl who is going to try a little hard to be a little happier.  The story of a girl who is going to smile more.. because it is the best curve she has!! The story of this girl!

His Will.

This says it all.

I know that God breaks us down, so he can build us up.  God is a God of kindness and happiness.  He breaks us down because he knows what is going to bring us true happiness.  He breaks us down so we will rely on him, so we can come unto him.  Our part in this process is trusting in his will.  This is the story of a girl who has been influenced by this principle.  The story of a girl who relies on the Lord to break her down so he can build her up.  This is my story, but he is helping me write it day by day.  May the Lord break you down... to build you up.
