"Words To Live By" |

2 Chronicles 6:40 "Now my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place." |
| Psalms 94: 17-19 Unless the Lord had given me HELP, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. When I said, "My foot is slipping" your love, Oh Lord supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. |

John 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. |
| Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have recieved it, and it will be yours. Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action. |

"Words of Wisdom" Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! REMEMBER; FAITH MAKES THINGS POSSIBLE, NOT EASY!!!!! - Author Unknown Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius. Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Speak without offending, listen without defending. Choices are the hinges of destiny. When in doubt....don't! It is not our abilities that show what we truly are....It is our choices. Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. And lo, no one was there. A woman is like a tea bag: you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing-that's why we recommend it daily. Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it. Worrying about something that may never happen is like paying interest on money you may never borrow. Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward. |
| "Patience" All comes at the proper time to him who knows how to wait. - Saint Vincent de Paul He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. - Epictetus Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere! - Author Unknown Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for. - Author Unknown The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. - Abraham Lincoln Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. - Lyndon B Johnson |

"You Can Do It!" So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. - Luke 11:9 You are younger today than you ever will be again. Make use of it for the sake of tomorrow. Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. If we all did the things that we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves! If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down. Inch by inch it's a cinch, yard by yard it's hard. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it! Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable are the kind who do nothing. Some people succeed because they are destined to, but most people succeed because they are determined to. I am a pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. It is a funny thing about life: If you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it. The door of opportunity won't open unless you do some pushing. If you don't run your own life, someone else will! Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. The best way to predict your future is to create it. Don't wait for your ship to come in. Row out to meet it. There ain't no cloud so thick that the sun ain't shinin' on t'other side. Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on! Only "I" can change my life. No one can do it for me. |
| "Special Thanks" A special Thank You to my Mother who raised my brother and I as a single Mom. I really thought she was tough until I became a Mother myself. Some of the words of wisdom that I speak are Mom's words of wisdom. As I've gotten older I now welcome those words and take them to heart. I love you Mamma. A special Thank You to my Grandmother for showing me that no matter how big your problems are, God is greater. She instilled in our family the method of prayer and it's great power. I love you NeNe. A special Thank You to Juanell Teague. When I was at the bottom so to speak, God put a special angel in my life, her name was Juanell Teague. She saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. Thank you Juanell for being a mentor to me. You will never know what you did for me and the fire you put into my soul. Thank you for showing me that there is no limit to what one can do in life and that the power is within each of us to make a difference. My love and prayers are with you always. |

"How You Live Your Dash" I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning...to the end.

"That's God" Difficult moments, seek God... Quiet moments, worship God... Painful moments, trust God... Every moment, thank God... Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for... THAT'S GOD... He talks to you through the Holy Spirit. Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to... THAT'S GOD...He wants you to talk to Him. Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them... THAT'S GOD... there is no such thing as "coincidence". Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford... THAT'S GOD... He knows the desires of your heart. Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but now you look back on it... THAT'S GOD... He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day. In all that we do, we should totally give HIM thanks and our blessings will continue to multiply. "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless". |
