PEACE...JOY...LOVE

Stick in there...

Being strong isn't so hard when everything is perfect and going the way you want.  True strength is how you DEAL when everything is going "wrong". 

Will you throw in the towel and give up?  Or will you persevere, develop some tenacity, and push through your trials and tribulations to reach your goals?

Remember...no matter how things appear, know that God's will is being accomplished now!!  Everything is happening exactly as it should.  Trust that you have everything you need to make it through this time.  Your life is perfect the way it is.  Trials only come to make you stronger.  You're being prepared for something great!!

Be strong...:)

When no one is there...

There comes a time when you're going through something troubling...but there's no one, and I mean no one, around to help you.  All of a sudden, your counselor is on vacation, your friends are too busy, and your mom just wouldn't understand.  But, despair not, for this is the time you've been waiting for.  This is the time you've been practicing for.  This is the time to stand on your own two feet, go within, trust your intuition, and figure it out yourself.  The training wheels are gone...and now it's time to ride that two-wheeler like a big girl...lol!! 

Don't be afraid, just watch and you'll surprise yourself...you're a lot stronger and wiser than you give yourself credit for!  Now you'll realize that everyone else didn't necessarily know all the answers...they just held the key to unlock the answers that were already within you.  Everything you need is already within you at this very moment...and now the key is in YOUR hands.  So, use it...step out on faith...and see how far you've grown!! 

You can do it!!  :)

Quickie but goodie...

So...I found myself complaining today.  I was doing a great job of it too...picking out all that was wrong, not going right, and could've been better.  But then, I quickly pulled out a pad and paper, and just started making a list of all the things that were going RIGHT!  I made a list of all the positive things happening so far.  And, I immediately felt better!!  I realized that when you complain, you're only focusing on the negative...so much so, that you actually start to create more of it.  Instead of complaining next time...focus on all the positive aspects, and you'll certainly create more of that!!  Try it! 

Have a great weekend!!  :)
