When I woke up this morning lying in bed,
I was asking myself,
What are some of the secrets of success in life?
I found the answer right there,
in my very room.
The Fan said...be cool
The Roof said...Aim high
The Window said...see the world
The Clock said...every minute is precious
The Mirror said...reflect before you act
The Calendar...be up to date
The Door said...Push hard for your goals
AND NOT TO FORGET,
THE CARPET SAID...
KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY.

Bewildering....But perfect...
“You are a great God. Your character is holy. Your truth is absolute. Your strength is unending. Your discipline is fair. Your provisions are abundant for our needs. Your light is adequate for our path. Your grace is sufficient for our sins. You are never early, never late. You sent your Son in the fullness of time and will return at the consummation of time. Your plan is perfect. Bewildering. Puzzling. Troubling. But perfect.” –Max Lucado

I Love Your Love the Most
"Yeah I love scuffed up cowboy boots
And broken tore up jeans A four wheel drive,
eight point bucks And rocky road ice cream
But honey, I love your love the most."

Planting seeds...
"What we sow, we grow.
Plant seeds of gratefulness right in the middle of your wilderness seasons.
Refuse worry and embrace faith every chance you get.
Purposely instill thoughts of faith and perspective into your children.
Live close to the heartbeat of Christ.
Model a humble, thankful heart.
Refuse to give your children everything they want,but assure them God will
provide everything they need.
Take God's offer of peace in every single season."

The Same Stones
At some point in our lives we have to quit tripping over the same stones every time. At some point, we have to put our big girl/boy running shoes on...run like the wind towards the sun...and when we hit those yucky rocks that trip us...this time, lean down, pick it up and throw that baby HARD and so far off your path so it doesn't trip you up ever again!

Let Nothing Move You
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV
Keep paddling....whatever ocean you are traveling thru right now....It's not in vain. Let nothing move you off your course. God is with you...and He loves you like no other.
