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.

HATS HAVE POWER. HATS CAN CHANGE YOU INTO SOMEONE ELSE. Catherynne M Valente

 










SOMETIMES WHEN THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE HURT YOU THE MOST, IT IS BETTER TO STAY QUIET BECAUSE, IF YOUR LOVE WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.....
DO YOU THINK YOUR WORDS WILL MATTER?


VINTAGE POSTER CHILD

 



DO NOT GET UPSET WITH PEOPLE OR SITUATIONS, BOTH ARE POWERLESS WITHOUT YOUR REACTION



THINGS FALL APART, SO THEY CAN FALL TOGETHER AT A HIGHER LEVEL OF ORDER.


YOU DO NOT ATTRACT WHAT YOU WANT,
YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU ARE. 





THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
