{quotes}
Even if you could corner the market on truth, you’d make a scant living selling it.
Dee Hock
The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting.
John Locke
Your attitude toward others, work, and your daily life is a reflection of your attitude toward God.
Elizabeth George
Progress always involves risk; you can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.
Frederick Wilcox
One man can make a difference, and every man should try.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
{blessings}
Unlearning
Unlearn the lessons that do not serve you. May God bless you with wisdom, insight, and good judgment.
Use Your Voice
Use your voice, not an echo. May God bless you to embrace your unique soul. Speak up, speak out, and be your own best self.
Breakthroughs
You’ve waited, cried, prayed, and persevered. You’re about to experience blessings and breakthroughs in your life.
Soft Landing
Take the leap of faith that’s been holding you back. God is blessing you with a soft landing, feet first, head held high, and a heart that beats with excitement.
Escape Hatch
When there seems to be no way out, God blesses you with an escape hatch.
{prayers}
Right Time
I believe in magic and miracles. I believe You said it, and that settles it. Everything comes to me at just the right time, in symmetry, in synchronicity, in Your time. I await You in perfect repose.
Growing in Faith
Praise God. I remember the prayers I used to say before my prayers were answered. I look back on relationships better left in the past. I recall the disappointments. I can still feel the struggles. And my faith grows stronger every day.
Growing in Prayer
Dear God, Thank You for helping me grow into this prayer life where gratitude and praise are my every inclination. For blessings, for blissful reflection, I am forever grateful.
Steely Resolve
Make me stronger. Remind me of Your unerring equation: Hardship + Prayer = Steely Resolve. Help me to stand on my own two feet and, at the same time, lean wholly on You.
Forgiving Yourself
Dear God, It’s time for me to own up to my bad choices. I give in to temptation and make mistakes I could avoid. I’m sorry for my past and excited about my future. Let this be the day I am a better human than I was yesterday.
