{quotes}
She told me the world was made of stories, nothing else, just stories, and stories about stories. – Tommy Orange
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. John Piper
Don’t listen to the mustn’ts, the don’ts, the won’ts. Do listen to the ones who say you can, you will, you should do it!
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
To this day I believe we are here on Earth to live, grow, and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom. – Rosa Parks
When life throws you a curveball, God gives you a bat and guides your swing.
{blessings}
Rigged
It’s confounding how ferociously the compounding interest on a loan grows. The system is rigged against you. May you be blessed with a clean balance sheet free from debt. May you know financial freedom.
Let’s Be Honest
It gets complicated to keep track of the little white lies and subtle indiscretions. You’re not fooling anyone anyway, so turn it around. It’s really that simple. May you be blessed to always speak truth and live honestly.
God Fragments
Cats have the right idea. They sit on the sill as sunbeams come streaming in to warm them. Take a cue from a cat. Close your eyes and let sunlight penetrate your lids. Be blessed by the God fragments that you see with eyes closed tightly in prayer.
Homeland
The summer breeze, a day of leisure, celebration of freedom. Thank God for blessing America, the safeguard of ideals and the homeland I love.
God & You
God’s power guides you. God’s might upholds you. God’s wisdom teaches you. You are blessed by an awesome God who is with you always.
{prayers}
Fresh
Fresh new day. Fresh new start. Dear God, Thank you for a day to begin again. For the growth I am about to receive, for the love I am about to give. Help me walk through today with joy, calm, and goodness.
Like Me
He’s a silent fellow moving easily beneath the surface of the ocean, staying hidden going about his business. Like me. Unlike me. I have much to say, but I am not heard. I am unseen. It’s not natural for me to be alone. I need someone to hear me, to touch me, to swim beside me. Lord, send me a friend.
Meant for Me
Let my heart be at ease knowing that what is meant for me will be, and what is not to be, was not meant for me.
Financially Free
We are not free when we are financially constrained. Dear God, help me soar to heights yet unknown. Show me the way to personal and professional success. Lead me to prosperity.
Work it Out
Help me as I work it out. Let me look ahead to see what Your eyes see. Move me along with confidence. Grace me with assuredness that there is a solution to the challenges I face. I place my complete trust In You, Dear God. Thank You for Your Divine guidance.
