and



Doubt sees the obstacles,
Faith sees the way;
Doubt sees the blackest night,
Faith sees the day;
Doubt dreads to take a step,
Faith soars on high;
Doubt questions, "Who believes?"
Faith answers, "I!"

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, and loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, and an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

Exercise daily-walk with the Lord.

Never give the devil a ride-he will always want to drive.

Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

He who angers you controls you.

Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

Give Satan an inch & he will be a ruler.

Be ye fishers of men-you catch them & He'll clean them.

God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Read the Bible-It will scare the hell out of you.

 

To realize:
The value of a sister: Ask someone who does not have one.
The value of ten years: Ask a newly divorced couple.
The value of four years: Ask a graduate.
The value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
The value of nine months: Ask a mom who gave birth to a stillborn.
The value of one month: Ask a mom who gave birth to a premature baby.
The value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
The value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
The value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed a plane.
The value of one second: Ask a person who has survived an accident.
The value of one millisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal.
The value of a friend: Lose one.

 

My brothers, the love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender.
~~Albert Camus

 

Give God what is right-not what is left.

Man's way leads to a hopeless end-God's way leads to an endless hope.

A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma-but never let him be the period.

Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for aface-lift.

When praying, do not give God instructions-just report for duty.

Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church.

We do not change God's message-His message changes us.

The church is prayer-conditioned.

When God ordains, He sustains.

WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

Plan ahead-It was not raining when Noah built the ark.

Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.

Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

Somewhere between the *procrastination* and the homework... And the incessant forwards and the friendships and the calls to each other complaining about *.:*CrUsHeS*:.* Somewhere between the phone calls to old friends and the "I miss you's", the "I love you's" and the "What are we doing tonight's?"... And somewhere between all of the changing and growing... Somewhere between the classes and the skipping classes... And the StUdYiNg for TeStS... And the PRETENDING to *StUdY* for ~TeStS~... And the downright NOT StUdYiNg for TeStS... I forgot! I forgot what ScHooL was all about... Somewhere between all the appointments and starbucks coffees, and Diet Mt. Dew's... paying bills and then not paying bills... Making plans then breaking plans... Appearing, disappearing, then reappearing... I forgot! I forgot what it was like to cry. I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy... And that pretending to be SmArT doesn't make you smart... I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the FUTURE... I forgot that you can't control falling in .:.LoVe.:. And that you can't make yourself fall in *LoVe*... I learned that I can LOVE... I learned that it's okay to MEsS UP... And it's okay to ask for HELP! And it's okay to feel like crap... I learned it's okay to cOmPLaiN and wHINe to all your friends for a whole day... I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have... I learned that the greatest thing about HiGh ScHOoL and CoLLeGe and the working world isn't the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the hookups... It's the *FrIeNdShIpS*, which means taking chances. I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about... I learned that time can heal all things... I learned that just when you think it can't get worse- it does... but w/ the love and support of friends - you survive... I've learned that when you start feeling BaD about L O S I N G touch - those that you've lost touch w/ are feeling the same way... I learned that letters from friends are the most important things... And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better... But, basically, I just learned that my friends - Both o l d and new - are the most important people to me in the world. AND without them, I wouldn't be who I am today! So this is a thank you to all of my friends. For always being there. And even if we're not on good terms or we have lost touch... I will always have an unconditional love for you.. ~Always and forever ~
