BELIEVE IN YOURSELF A LITTLE MORE.

IT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE THAT HOLDS YOU BACK, IT'S WHO YOU THINK YOU'RE NOT.

SEEK HIS WILL IN ALL YOU DO, AND HE WILL SHOW YOU WHICH PATH TO TAKE.

Prov. 3.6

GOD IS STILL WRITING YOUR STORY. HE HAS SO MUCH MORE IN STORE FOR YOU.

YOU ARE NOT FINISHED YET, KEEP GOING.

WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT,

I THE LORD, WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

DON'T RUSH, WHAT GOD IS PREPARING YOU FOR. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT.

HAVE FAITH.

GRATITUDE GENERATES MORE BLESSINGS.

YOU CAN BE INSPIRED BY OTHERS BUT WHEN YOU ARE INSPIRED FROM WITHIN, THEN YOU HAVE REAL POWER FOR CHANGE.

TURN YOUR WORRY INTO WORSHIP AND WATCH GOD TURN YOUR BATTLES INTO BLESSINGS.
