Life is not a race but indeed a journey. Be honest, work hard, be choosy. say “thank you, I love you and great job to someone each day. Go to church take time for prayer. The Lord give and the Lord take away. Let your hand shake mean more than pen and paper.

Love your life and what you’ve been given. It is  not accidental – search for your purpose and do it.  As best as you can, dreaming does matter, it allows you to become that which you aspire to be.

Laugh often appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them.

Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry, less wrinkle are more becoming forgive, it free the soul. Take time for yourself plan for longevity. Recognize the special people you’ve been blessed to know. Live for today , enjoy the moment.

No matter how great your in what you do right now you never satisfy, stay positive, stay flexible always improving your skill keep growing, keep improving, do more then expected.

“More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren’t so busy denying them.” – Harold J. Smith

When you are down to nothing, God is up to something.

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” – John Wooden

How can anyone ever love you for who you are if you become someone else to be with them?

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Maybe your past isn’t much to brag about. Maybe you’ve seen raw evil—and now you have to make a choice. Do you rise above the past and make a difference? Or do you remain controlled by the past and make excuses?
Healthy bodies.  Sharp minds.  But retired dreams.  Back and forth they rock in the chair of regret.  Lean closely and you’ll hear them.
If only I’d been born somewhere else. . .
If only I’d been treated fairly. . .
If only I’d had more opportunities. . .if only. . .
Put down the scrapbook of your life and pick up the Bible.  Read Jesus’ words in John 3:6: “Human life comes from human parents but spiritual life comes from the Spirit.”
God has not left you adrift on a sea of heredity. You have a choice in the path you take.
Choose well!

Don’t ever forget that you can achieve so many of the things you can imagine…. Don’t ever stop loving, don’t ever stop believing, don’t ever stop dreaming your dreams.

Count your blessings not your troubles, you will make it through.

Don’t put limits on yourself , Every problem implies a question are you ready to embody what you say , you believe? can you reach within yourself for enough clarity, strength, forgiveness, serenity, love, patience and faith to turn this around ?

Not what happens to us but what we do with what happens to us and who we decide to become because of what happens to us.

Everyone we meet, every situation we find our self in, represents a lesson that would teach us how to take our next step forward in the actualization of our self hood.

Your presence is a present to the world. You are unique , you are one of a kind, your life can be what you want it to be, take the days just one at a time.

You cannot receive what you don’t give. Outflow determines inflow, whatever you think the world is withholding from you ,you already have but unless you allow it to flow out. You won’t even know that you have it. This includes abundance. “GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU “.

When you smile at a stranger there is already a minute outflow of energy. You become a giver.

No one believed in people more than Jesus did. He saw something in Peter worth developing, in the adulterous woman worth forgiving, and in John worth harnessing.
He saw something in the thief on the cross, and what he saw was worth saving. And in the life of a wild-eyed, bloodthirsty extremist, He saw the apostle of grace.  He believed in Saul.
Don’t give up on your Saul. When others write him off, give him another chance. Stay strong.  Call him brother.  Call her sister. It’s too soon to throw in the towel. Talk to your Saul about Jesus, and pray.
God is at work behind the scenes. And remember this:  God never sends you where he hasn’t already been.  By the time you reach your Saul, who knows what you’ll find.
God used Saul, who became Paul, to touch the world.
Has God given you a Saul?

God always answers prayer

Did you ever pray hard for something but got only silence in response ? it may have felt like God didn’t answer.

Yet the bible tells us that if we trust God, we’ll always get what we need and perhaps what we want too. ( Matthew 6 :25-33)

But we have to do our part, strengthen your friendship with God.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you ( John 15:7 )

Don’t give up Jesus promised, whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. ( Mark 11:24 )

Your sense of who you are determines what you perceive as you needs and what matters to you in life and whatever matters to you will have the power to upset and disturb you. You can use this as a criterion to find out how deeply you know yourself.

What matters to you is not necessarily what you say or believe but what your actions and reactions reveal as important and serious to you. So you may want to ask yourself the question what are the things that upset and disturb me ? if small things have the power to disturb  you, then who you think you are is exactly that small.

The world always makes sure that you cannot fool yourself for long about who you really think you are by showing you what truly matters to you. How to react to people and situations especially when challenges arise , is the best indicator of how deeply you know yourself. The more limited the more narrowly ego the view of yourself the more you will see. Focus on & react to the ego limitations the unconsciousness in others.

Who is looking at the ego? The ego in you.

You know the saying ” Marriages are made in Heaven but they sure take a lot of maintenance on earth !

Great marriages take work and it’s worth the work!

There is no such thing as the perfect marriage

Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days keep your tongue from evil and do good seek peace and pursue it.

The most important thing in your life besides your relationship with God are the people in your life, it’s not your job or your money or your hobbies.

do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

(Isaiah 41:10 )

You can’t change the world around you until you change your world.

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.  ( Isaiah 41 : 13 )

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived
    the things God has prepared for those who love him. ( 1 Corinthians 2:9 )

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
