You are beautiful!!!!

Expose your wounds

 

“How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.” 
― M. Scott Peck

Achieving your dreams!!!

Life is a courageous journey or nothing at all.  We cannot become who we want to be by continuing to do exactly what we’ve been doing.  If you are passionate about something, pursue it, no matter what anyone else thinks.  That’s how dreams are achieved.  Be deaf when people tell you that you can’t fulfill your dreams.  The only place where your goals and dreams are impossible is inside your head.  Once you’ve dreamed of it, you’re halfway there.  So go ahead and follow through.  Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words.  Follow your heart regardless of what others tell you to do.  At the end of the day it’s you who has to live with your decisions, not them.

Set a big goal!!!

‎"Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core, that you can't get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, your not setting big enough goals." - Bob Proctor

Overloaded and overstressed

In the culture we are in today, we are terribly overloaded and overstressed. We are too overloaded to take the next step we are being called to take. We are crumbling to the ground beneath our feet. We need to give something up when God is calling us to do it, so that we can move on without so much weight. Take the next step with the strength that God gives you. We get so scared that we won't be able to handle the stress or pain, but know you will always be supplied with what you need to get though anything if you ask God for it. God promises that he will be there and he holds true to his word. There is daily grace and strength that will appear before you. There are times that we come to a fork in a road and it seems there is no way we can get through it. We feel like we can't take this road and are paralyzed. We are led to this road for a purpose. Every broken road will lead us home to Christ. The hard times and suffering can make us so desperate we are willing to do anything to gain security. We can't jump off the road...we may feel powerless in how we deal with it and whether or not we receive the strength that God has to give us to get thru. And on the other side. when we see someone else going through the same thing, we would be able help them because we have been there ourselves.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
Irish Blessing

Walk by faith

In order for us to walk by faith we have to be willing to scoot along with one step at a time. When we are truly walking by faith we are walking not knowing what and where the road that we are on will lead us, but we are walking knowing that if we keep progressing one foot at a time, that eventually we will be rewarded for our faithfulness and will be brought into a life full of more light, understanding, wisdom, and more blessings. In order to walk by faith we must keep a smile on our faces, complaints out of our thoughts and out of our mouths, and we have to be willing to not only take the first step into the unknown, but we must be willing to continue to step and step until we are in the place that we know that we deserve to be in.

Take part in something you passionately believe in

Take part in something you passionately believe in. This could be anything. Some people take an active role in their city, some find refuge in spiritual faith, they exercise in a group setting, some join social clubs supporting causes they believe in and others find passion in their hobbies. In each case the psychological outcome is the same. They engage themselves in something they strongly believe in.... In a community that loves the same thing. This engagement brings happiness and meaning into their lives.

It pays to just have a little faith

How strong you stand is what makes you

There is a purpose for every person you meet

Let your faith be bigger than your fears
