Every Promise is from God, we can be assured of that, and every Tomorrow will be better. On the Tomorrow , tell yourself that you will be happy. When tomorrow gets here, say. "I will have the bills all paid off and the job at work will take care of itself. When Tomorrow arrives I will have no more stressful day, I then can be happy." Everywhere you look there seems to be another situation in your life to pop up that many times is more stressful than the ones prior that took weeks to solve. Here is the problem: Tomorrow your bills may be paid off… and your job may be less stressful, but there WILL always be another hurdle blocking your pathway to having all the happiness you need. There always is going to be these kinds of days. My question is. "What are you waiting for?” Your Life is always going to be filled with little disappointments and frustrations. There is to be no question about it: but, you need to know that until you decide to be happy today, you have no chance for happiness Tomorrow. The Lord tells us this…“When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you, When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown” Isaiah 43:2 (TLB). For me this is assurance all my Tomorrow will work out, for my best interest. Have you ever experienced something that truly tested your faith, your joy and your convictions? We're not talking about just having a bad day or having to deal with difficult people - but enduring an intense situation that rocks you to your very heart~core. When many people face soul-searching they allow their happiness and joy to turn into bitterness and anger. Make sure this doesn't happen to you. It has happened to us all one time or another. Don't give the evil one the victory by becoming an ineffective Christian due to lingering bitterness. Even if you're being tested, God has promised to remain faithful. He is all-powerful. He will pull you out of your troubles at any moment. Choose to remain faithful and joyous despite your present circumstances. I have walked this pathway more times than I can count. I have had to stop and even learn to pray for my enemies. If I hadn’t allowed God to take over my thoughts, I would still be in misery, or never happy Tomorrow. This is your life. Look all around you and let that soak in. Keep in your mind, that your finances, your job, your relationship, is all of it; this is your life…. right now, this very moment. You have a choice to make. You can either wish and yearn for happiness someday, or seize it today. Stop focusing on everything in your life that makes you sad and depressed today. Do not give these parts so much attention! They certainly do not deserve your time and energy. When you focus on the stack of bills, the piles of laundry, or the job that you didn't receive: your just going to cointinue to feel a deeper sense of hopeless despair. Instead focus on all the wonder and beauty that surround you. It is everywhere. You may have to look a little harder to see it, but you will find it. I have found it in the most unusual places... at a time I am not expecting it. Learn to give your single-minded attention to all the things that make you smile. Look at the tulips pushing through the ground in spring; focus on the wonderful night-out with your friend, or family; appreciate when you are able to curl up with a good book, and a cup of hot chocolate. These are the events that deserve your attention. Relax and look to the next Tomorrow. The only way to guarantee happiness Tomorrow is to consciously choose happiness today. That's right, it really is up to you. The external events in your life will always be there pushing against your hopes for peace and happiness. Don't allow them to push so forcefully into your life! God and you are in charge, not the outside world.We must stop hoping that Tomorrow will be better. Instead, be content with your life today, no matter what that life may look like. Stop and turn off the darkness.

About the Book
This is not a book on just lecturing anybody, ____ it is just something that God said to write, and put together as he advised me to do. You will find some illustrations are not just our own experienced stories, but from others that willingly shared too, for the purpose of being able to point out viewpoints with good morals, or words to ponder on. Everyday, while I wrote, I had no clue where to begin, or where to actually stop. I learned it was best to flow along, by allowing God to show me suitable words to write, or when he reminded me of something that either happened year’s prior, or something of recent that had been spoken to me by a family member or a friend. We can discuss the topic of "Traditionalism" later in class, when I will allow you to bring your own customs from ancestors to posterity by oral communication, while sharing with classmates your stories. We will also welcome your narrated tales by mail, to be used later on. Please send them to the Author, for sharing in the Cell Group.
