Defining Moments

I heard once that your life is defined by the moments that make you want to dance around the room. Those things that make you so full of exuberance that you cannot contain it, no matter what circumstance you are in. I would like to emphasize something from this that almost everybody seems to miss... that it does not matter what circumstance you are in. And furthermore, such moments don't define you until you define them. You fight through any pain that may be there. You come out stronger. And just as Scripture says, you praise God in the good and the bad, especially in the trials. The fire does refine. If you let it.

Life is not an accumulation of good and bad days. In fact, I wonder if there are such things. Of course, there are. But do they just happen, or do we make them so in letting them be as such? Because while we may not be able to control the circumstances we find ourselves in, we can control how we react to said circumstances. We must. Should we fail to do so, then life really will be just a bunch of good and bad days, not amounting to much. Where's the fun and fulfillment in that? Life is meant to be more than that. And frankly, life is what you make it to be.. no matter what circumstance you find yourself in..
