You know how people like to share poems and jokes over the internet? Well I thought it would be lovely to share and post some of my favorite shared inspirational thoughts. If you have one you'd like me to post, e mail it over! Enjoy.
This lovely inspiration was shared with me by a new dear friend Sharon. God bought Sharon into my life and then my heart through my workplace...I guess since I've complained in the past that my job is so awful, God wanted to show me that His blessings can be found every where. Thank you Sharon for all of your support to our growing ministry, You are a Beautiful Christian Sister indeed!
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER
A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Christ first to find her.
When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living'.
I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need God's strength to carry on.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain.. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon God's name.
When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!
This was sent to me by a dear friend at work. Thanks Lorelei!
My mother encourages and inspires me on a daily basis. She has a knack for finding the perfect inspiration for exactly what I'm going through at the time. I guess that's the power of the love from a mother. Here are some of my momma favorites.
I MOVED!!! Here is My New Address
Can't remember if I told you:
I have moved out from Beggars Alley, located at 2 Poverty Lane at the corner of Down and Out Circle. As of today, I have a brand new home.
My new address is Living Well on 231 Abundance Terrace, located at the corner of Blessings Drive and Prosperity Peak. It's in the God Can neighborhood.
No longer will I allow myself to travel to the other side of town on Begging Peter to Pay Paul Route, located at a dead end intersection called I Don't Have, which connects with Borrowers Junction!
I no longer hang out at Failure's Place, near Excuses Avenue, next to Procrastination Point.
I've moved to an upscale community called Higher Heights with unlimited potential and opportunities for me to succeed.
I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me!
Life is good because God is good! Care to change your address? There are many vacancies!
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS Oh LORD!
I AM WELL BLESSED AND SO ARE YOU, in spite of temporary circumstances!!!!!!
DON'T TELL GOD HOW BIG YOUR STORMS ARE; TELL YOUR STORMS HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS!!
May God Richly Bless each and Everyone That Reads This -Please Keep it going!
BE BLESSED AND STAY FOCUSED!!!

can certainly use you!
This alphabetical love note came to me by way of one of our newest supporters Khadejah Gilmore. Thank you Sunshine, it was a perfect start to my day and a perfect gift to share...Enjoy!
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of " Camp Complaining "
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
"YOU are too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
