So I just finished reading this book called "GOD WINKS"... It's all about how nothing is a coincidence and that every second in your life is on God's blueprint for you. It was a great quick read and I'd recommend it to you all. I have it if you would like to borrow it :)
It's all stories about life changing moments that just couldn't be coincidence.
I know all about this first hand- especially with all that has gone on with my mom!
I'd like to share some quotes/scripture from the book that are really just like -ya wow- thinking moments:
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and HE shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 NKJV
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 NKJV
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And he shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6 NKJV
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. Martin Buber
Hope is the feeling that the feeling you have isn't permanent. -Jean Kerr
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. John Wooden, coach
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
And now just some quotes: I'm a quote whore:
I'm right where I'm supposed to be -Unkown
What your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul's emphasis is always right. RWE
Hapiness is a place between too little and too much. Unknown
I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining.
I believe in Love, even wehn I feel it not.
I believe in God, even when He is silent.
Hope this was uplifting.
Have to run.
Love.

Well, I don't use a lot of quotes, but I do use a lot of slogans and mottoes. Things like the Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared." That has been a hallmark of my life. "Never assume anything," is another. "AAO", which stands for: "Adjust, Adapt, Overcome." "I do what I do because I am who I am." Most of my life I have been driven to succeed which brings forth things like, "Second place just means you are first loser." "Quitters never win and winners never quit." "Failure is not an option." And there are a lot more.
ReplyDeleteThe point is that what you said in your blog is much more relevant that what I just said. Your quotes are based in compassion, love and concern. Mine are based on reason and logic...not superior to the traits of your blog.
Thanks for the words.
