FORGIVE FORGIVE FORGIVE

Jesus calls us to remember that we are all God's children. Just as He loves all His people and is willing to forgive their sins, we must be WILLING to forgive others who have done wrong to us:Anger can consume us with hatred and block out the love of God. Whether between parent and child, spouses, friends, or nations, expressions of anger divide us and drive us toward open hostility.....

More often than not, our angry feelings are based on a misinterpretation of what someone said or did. A grudge clouds our judgment and may lead us to an act of revenge that can never be undone.

BEAUTY IN DARK PLACES

Even the desert has beauty. Good times and bad times are part of living. It is difficult to fully appreciate joy until you have tasted sadness. Laughter is sweeter if you have experienced tears. There may be times when you feel like you're stuck in a dry and desolate place, but an encouraging call or a hug from a friend can be an oasis; beauty in the desert. Though it may not be easy, try to remember that the trials are going to help you fully experience the joy on the horizon.

AUTHENTICITY

Authenticity - Having one face and heart holding the same thoughts, opinions & beliefs before everyone without tweaking or tailoring them to please one here and then the other there. What your best friends know "between us" is real.. why alter it to appease someone else or sustain their 'approval'... it always shows up anyway. Sincerity never promised popularity but does produce trust and consistency of character~ Dawn Schale

THE FALSE CHURCH

Churches run like a polished broadway performance...... Like a woman who is attracted to a slick, smooth-talking man who has no substance, we start falling for the church and in the end we get hurt when we realize that all that glitters is not gold!!!

LIFES PURPOSE...


The Adventure of life is to learn.
The Purpose of life is to grow.
The Nature of life is to change.
The Challenge of life is to overcome.
The Essence of life is to care.
...
... The Opportunity of life is to serve.
The Secret of life is to dare.
The Spice of life is to befriend.
The Beauty of life is to give.
The Joy of life is to love.

~William Ward

YOUR VALUE AND WORTH ...THINK ABOUT IT ...DO YOU KNOW IT ?

May you know your worth !!!

PURGATORY... LOL

When I was a kid we went to catholic church and we loved getting money off our dad to put in the box to buy the candles to light, we didnt know fully that the amount of candles you lit got your dead family members out of purgatory...a little at a time. Gosh hope Aunt Thelma has both her arms in heaven..it would be so sad to not be able to hug her when I get there!!

 Shit ...I forgot to tell dad about that one time I spent the candle money on ice cream and a movie ...Oh No! ....Poor Aunt Thelma and Uncle Bob : (((   LOL

COURAGE ..TO DO THE RIGHT THING...IT WILL BE REWARDED !


Courage [in Jesus] give us the strength to extend grace, despite our pain.

Courage [in Jesus] gives us the desire to speak Truth no matter what.

Courage [in Jesus] moves us to do more than sit behind a computer and type out seemingly profound statements -that we will never actually do ourselves.
...

Courage [in Jesus] gives us the strength to walk away from relationships and circumstances that are not healthy for us.

 
Courage [in Jesus] is where we are enabled to begin and finish a great work of God in our lives.

Chronicles 28:20
David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.

Every day is a day of courage.....

SPEAK YOUR MIND....DAMN IT SPEAK!!!

SPEAK YOUR MIND EVEN IF YOUR VOICE SHAKES !

Maggie Kuhn

DEATH AND ETERNAL LIFE

"We're all going to leave this life at some point, and I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. You see, I wasn't raised with hell and damnation. I mean, I lived it . . . but since I wasn't raised with that concept, I'm not afraid of death. I don't think I'm going to hell. I've done that already."

‎"We need to address the vast array of stuff we're taught about death," Louise continues. "If your parents went to a church filled with messages of hellfire and damnation, you could be very frightened of death. You'll wonder, Have I been good enough, and if not, am I going to burn forever? And if you think you're going to burn forever, then you'll be scared shitless of dying. ...

 From Louise and Cheryl's new book, "You Can Create and Exceptional Life."

ABOUNDING ETERNAL WEALTH

I don’t have anything against financial independence or material things. Material wealth has a place and use. I’d just rather pursue wealth that will last eternally and cannot be stolen, rust or rot away. My quest is for the all abounding eternal wealth!

LAY IT DOWN ..ITS TOO BIG TO CARRY...

Is there anything you're facing that's bigger than you can handle? any pain, fear, problem, relationship issue, disease, financial difficulty, addiction, anything at all. that is bigger than our God?

If you're tired of trying to do this thing called life on your own, tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders...it's time to lay it at the feet of the Creator and Sustainer of all things and then rest in Him -

Because He is God....and youre not .

A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE IS THE RELIGIOUS SPIRITS COUNTERFEIT TO THE PRESENCE LED LIFE...

Purpose driven will drive you and you will end up striving….

Presence led will bring you into a place of rest ..

YOUR HEART ...

"Taking a stand for the sanctity of my own heart" ....Its a Beautiful thing!

MORE ABOUT LOVE...ITS A CHOICE !

...."We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness." Ellen Goodman
I think it's totally about forgiveness and gratefulness, and continually deciding to stay in love...it IS a decision(The Marriage Files) ~~Joselyn~

LIFE TESTS YOUR FAITH ...

"The rubber of faith meets the road of reality"

EMOTIONAL INCEST....

DO YOUR RESEARCH...THIS IS NOT GOOD ...MOTHERS ..LET YOUR SONS GO!!!

ALL WILL BECOME CLEAR ...

Do not be discouraged by what may be happening around you, always keep your energy high, allow things to manifest in there own time and in there own way, all will become clear.

Thankyou Lynelle

TRUST ME....................

Trust Me in all things, and don't worry. Even when things are undone and seem chaotic, I am with you. I will lead you in the path of righteousness, and establish you on the road to destiny. When the world around you is inconsistent and unreliable, I am your place of stability. I will not leave you nor forsake you. I will remain faithful and perform My word, says the Lord.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU GIVE NOT ...

You Have Not Because You Give Not


She sits alone at lunch time in a crowded cafeteria. She turns down every invitation to socialize with friends. She won’t reach out to others if it means driving out of her way. It’s simply too inconvenient.
She calls no one. So her phone hardly rings. It’s a selfish, self-centered life she leads. Yet she wonders why she’s so lonely; why it seems no one loves her. No one cares. 


Weekends and holidays are the hardest. Her birthdays pass without a gift or even a card from family or friends. Sickness visits, and no one is there to comfort or take her to the doctor. Many nights she cries herself to sleep. What she fails to realize is she has created this sad, empty life. She has not, because she gives not. 
The Bible clearly instructs us to give. It’s for good reason. As we give, we bless others. But giving also creates the channel through which goodness flows in our own life. Simply put, your level of giving triggers your level of getting. It isn’t that we give hoping to get. Giving and getting are two sides of the same coin. You can’t give without getting. You can’t get without giving. It’s a universal principal.
Paul explains it in Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
Luke 6:38 tells us to “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full--pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."
So, if you give little “amount,” expect to get little back. If you want to cure your bout with loneliness, offer company and comfort to someone else. That wonderful act of charity alone will cheer you up!
You say you love Jesus and are anxious to get the deeper things of God. Give more time to personal bible study. If you want genuine friends, give of your time to cultivate meaningful relationships. It won’t be convenient. It won’t be easy. It can’t be self-centered.
Such giving is rooted in love. So perhaps we have not because we love not. Love compels us to be givers. What better demonstrates that than Jesus’ sacrifice on the Calvary? “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.” John 3:16.
It was not convenient. It was not easy. It was not self-centered. It was sacrificial. Giving often calls for sacrifice.
Have you ever felt as though you were constantly giving and getting nothing in return? You may be the one who is first to forgive after a fight with your spouse. Perhaps you are the designated encourager in your youth or single’s group. You sacrifice your time to pray for and edify others. But when you need a pick-me up, no one is there with a shoulder for you to cry on. It’s tough. But Paul encourages us in Galatians 6:9, saying, “Don’t get weary in well doing.” Remember your ultimate reward comes from God, not from man.
So don’t seek to get. See to give. Give unselfishly and you’ll reap abundance in return. Give love and you’ll never be in short supply of it. Give friendship and you’ll never be without support and fierce loyalty.
Let it not be said of you: “you have not because you give not.”

THE FROG / PRINCE ...

"One day you will wake up and see him as he really is... where you saw an Adonis you will see a selfish child .... where you saw a Prince ...you will see a frog" ...from "The Freedom Program"

THE FAIRY TALE STORY ...

The Fairy Story:

Once upon a time there was an unmarried princess who ruled her land wisely and well. She made the laws, collected the taxes and was loved by all her subjects.
One day, when she was sitting by her lake, a frog hopped out of the water. “Hello Princess” said the frog. I am not really a frog at all, he continued. I am in fact, a handsome prince. A wicked witch turned me into a frog. However, if you kiss me I will regain my handsome human form. I will then marry you.

You can have my children and care for them. I would like about eight. You can wash my clothes and cook my meals. You can keep the..palace clean and tidy. I will take over as ruler and enforce the laws.... I will be King. I will collect the taxes and keep all the money. I will of course give you a generous allowance for household expenses.”
Later that night, when the princess was dining on sautéed frogs’ legs in a tarragon, cream and brandy sauce, she said to herself, “I don’t fucking think so!”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






There is a serious point to this story. Why do so many of us ‘jump at’ the frog’s offer?

IN THOSE DAYS ....

Awakening
In those days,
we finally chose
to walk like giants
& hold the world
in arms grown strong with love
& there may be many things we forget
in the days to come,
but this will not be one of them.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN...(TO ALL MY SISTERS/EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD!)

What do you do when ....
You strive for love and peace and a harmonious relationship of healthy discussion and the partner you are with just lashes out alot and gets defensive alot so that your goal of resolution and peace can never be obtained thru open communication ?

What do you do when....
Your calling in life is to be a Life Coach and as you practice by lovingly sharing your insights to all those in your circle and they value and respect you but your significant other reacts as if its a competition of right and wrong or whos better ?

What do you do when..
You applaud the talents and giftings of your partner at every opportunity and highlight all his strengths but when you need to discuss an area of growth he reacts as if you are his enemy?

What do you do when...
Your partner says I love you and then waits for the expected response and when this one time he doesnt get it his feelings are hurt..and u realise that his "I love you" was infact not him loving you but a manipulative request "Tell me you love me"  and when he didnt get it his feelings were hurt.


What do you do when..
You have to walk on eggshells around your partner because he is supersensitive and explosive...and when you accidently trigger it like a tornado it destroys everything in its path, with no regard for adult or child.

What do you do when..
You need to cry cos youre a woman and in that journey of releasing your tears you know it will be cleansing and healing and you might even find something out about yourself...but he gets angry and takes it as if you are telling him he did something wrong and blaming him ...when all you needed was arms to hold you while you release and a tender word of "Its ok baby, we can figure this out"

What do you do when..
You start to cry and its starting to flow and you just need this cry and then his anger sends a message to your spirit that this is not a safe place to be vulnerable.... and your tears stop like a shut off valve..while inside your heart is aching.

What do you do when..
You only have love and goodness to share and his best interests...and he protects himself as if you are the enemy.

What do you do when..
He positions himself behind you in company and when you are talking and sharing honestly and interracting he makes faces behind your back demeaning you and shaking his head so that other people are being told by him you are a liar....when infact you are sharing your heart.


What do you do when..
He says he had a great day, ... but there is one thing that you would like to discuss and all of a sudden he takes it as an attack and starts to throw up so many things about the day when 5 minuites ago he said he had no problem with the day.


What do you do when..
You are emotionally spent and exhausted and need some sleep ....and after struggling and praying for a long time for sleep to come... he wakes you to say he is going home with no regard for your health.


What do you do when..
He has so many weapons stored in his arsenal that at every discussion he pulls out the right one from the past to attack you with so that you can never stay on topic and resolve one issue as he just goes off down another rabbit trail and another...never seeking peace but just venting and destroying as he goes.

What do you do when...
Your goal is peace and he makes war.

What do you do when..
You watch his mother behave the same way and it hits you like a ten ton truck that he is in a toxic relationship with his mother and you realise that he has lived this way with her for 37 years and the toxicity is so thick that he doesnt see it... and he is being damaged by it every single day but he wont stop the cycle by leaving.

What do you do when..
You realise that he has lived such a sheltered life that the majority of what he has ever said to you consisted of movie lines or music videos (if it was good) or learned behaviour from the toxic relationship with his mother (if it was bad) ..and that there was nothing else ... (All the beauty you thought you had was either copied from a movie or music video or was a manipulation to get something to feed his insecurities)

What do you do when..
It all hits you at once and the pieces fall into place and you have to come out of the denial of believing and you feel like your heart is broken because you realise that he is hanging onto all these things and not fully ready to surrender to change and face his demons and live a life of love.

What do you do when..
You just have to let go of the dream...because it was never real in the first place ..it was all just your own hopes and desires and faith and believing..... your own encouraging and overlooking.... your own believing the best.

...and then...

What do you do when your heart is broken and the acceptance of coming out of denial hits you so hard that you feel sick and numb with grief and you walk around in a daze...

then...

What do you do?


I will tell you what you do ! Like every other strong woman before you...You keep on going..putting one foot in front of the other... in hope of a better day.... and it will come !!! Maybe not today or even Tommorrow but it will come!!!

To all my sisters .... every woman in the world !!!!

NEVER TOO OLD

You are Never too old to Rock your inner Goddess!

Anita D'Ambrosie

FAITH THRU THE PAIN...

The rubber of faith meets the road of reality under hardship. The trueness of one’s belief is revealed in pain. Genuineness and character are unveiled in misfortune. Faith is at its best, not in three-piece suits on Sunday mornings or at V.B.S. on summer days, but at hospital bedsides, cancer wards, cemeteries, and lifes tragedies.

....Anybody can preach a sermon on a mount surrounded by daisies. But only one with a gut full of faith can live a sermon on a mountain of pain.

PAIN...

... that the truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for. Look around, look closely at the people in your life right now, and ask yourself about each one: 'Is (s)he worth suffering for?'

BEAUTY AND UGLINESS...WHAT IS WITHIN YOU ?

Sometimes u meet old people and they have such a sweetness, a beauty about them, their character just shines love ...BUT ...Its a disturbing thing when u come across someone old ...and u realise after a few meetings that they are ugly... very ugly... u watch their words hoping to glean some beautiful gem from years of wisdom and all u see is ugliness ...bitterness...self centredness...u see hell already living inside of them...
...When Jesus said "The Kingdom of Heaven is inside of you" ....he was right... and so is the Kingdom of Hell... you dont just die and change ... u actually grow right into one of those two realities that are already within! !!

EQUIPPING

...The Equipping Continues:

In 2008 the Lord said that the years 2009, 2010, and 2011 would be years in which He would equip His people to live in the power of His divine government of 2012.
The Body of Christ has been afflicted in 2009 and 2010 because equipping takes place in adversity.

PREDETERMINED LOVE

... When I have love for someone, I have predetermined that I am going to stand with them, regardless of what they are going through....

GIVE A LITTLE KINDNESS

...Special request to all kids returning to school ......... If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he/she doesn't have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most "in" clothes .... PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone's life!

FORGIVENESS

....Forgiveness is a decision. It's an act of will to release a person from the obligation that resulted when they injured you. (Forgiveness is a choice...which in turn releases you!)

WHAT IS SUCCESS...

Webster defines success as: a favorable or desired outcome.


What is success? Mansions, fancy cars, designer clothes and stacks of money are considered ultimate success by many...


....My foster family owned many of the things people use to define their success—nice cars, nice clothes and a nice-sized home. My first week living with them, my new parents took me out to breakfast to get to know me and one thing my Dad ...said that day never left me. He said, “What you have doesn’t define if you’re a success; doing what you set out to do for the right reason and who you are inside, does.”

At that time (before it was popular) I planned to become a forensic psychologist and catch serial criminals of the worst kind. I wasn’t a success yet because my motivation was to seek vengeance for their victims and shame the criminals. My plans were to be an FBI sensation, expert witness and write books about the most diabolical cases I solved (like the ones I’d read since middle school). Marriage and children were optional. I wanted to be rich and famous for putting away evil people.

God interrupted the plans I made for my life. When I think about the condo, convertible luxury car and crime-fighting future I described to my parents that morning, it was a story of success based on the definition of someone else. It was based on the pain from my past and the circumstances that landed me in foster care. It was based on the admiration I thought I’d receive if I had things I saw in magazines, movies and on television. Watching my parents love each other and experiencing love from my new family even after I hurt them began to change what I viewed as success. Encountering the forgiveness and redemption of God after walking away from Him wiped society’s definition of success out of my mind. It made me wonder if as a child of God how I defined my life’s success should be based more on if I accomplished the things I wanted in life or if I embraced God’s purpose for me.

If I chose to allow what I originally wanted for my life to determine whether or not I am a success, I failed miserably. My plans didn’t include being irreversibly in love with the Creator of the universe, an intercessor, worshipper, wife to a God-fearing husband, and devoted mother to an imaginative daughter. The books I write focus on how much God loves the hurting instead of exacting vengeance on the people or situations that hurt them.

Entering into an intimate relationship with God opened my eyes to the ability to determine my own definition of success. I prayed for God to save me, and today I pray that everything I do prospers His purpose for my being here, and based on the fact that He loves me, I know I live a life of success

CHALLENGING YOUR CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

I have had my theology challenged lately and oh it is good. The result of that challenge has been like getting new glasses after seeing for so long with blurred lenses that are an old prescription.....
We see and understand from such a limited perspective. A lot of our theological understanding comes from things we have heard preached, picked up by osmosis along the way or have studied for ourselves. The trouble is when it comes t...o God and even theology we only see through the lenses of our current theological grid. Things can be ‘hidden in plain sight’ in scripture but because we have been taught to see something from a certain perspective we don’t see that there could be another perspective. Or even, that maybe our current understanding is wrong..

Then along comes God and he challenges what you or I believe. What we do with that challenge is vitally important. That challenge can come in many forms and God is not afraid to use circumstances we face to challenge what we believe about him or his word. What are our options when God challenges us and do we always choose the right one?.

Option 1 – Ignore the challenge. Sometimes God comes and challenges us and we choose to ignore the challenge. Why? It could be we think there is nothing wrong with our theology, that what we believe now is true and is right. Or it could be that we don’t recognize that we see in part and do not know all truth about anything. So it is easy to push the challenge away or even apply it to someone else we know..

Option 2 – Treat the challenge superficially or apathetically. God challenges us and we may even recognize we might not be 100% right but we don’t or won’t search out the truth. We have many justifications for doing this but each one comes down in the end to pride, passivity or apathy. We will rationalize and defend our passivity too. We may think – Its not like I’m going to find out I’m not saved or something like that, so it’s not vital. So we choose to live on the poverty line of revelation and understanding..

Option 3 – Find an excuse to not to let the challenge change us. We may agree in principle to the new update God has given us but that’s where it stays – as a concept and principle. It is easy to give assent with our minds to something but we must let our theology change us, we must live it out. Updated theology should radically affect everything and will often have a domino effect challenging and toppling other wrong beliefs as well..

Option 4 – Admit that we are challenged and let the challenge change us to a certain level – usually to the level of our rights – for example – I may believe I have the right to live comfortably and with ease so no I won’t answer that call to serve on the mission field, but I will support them financially. If I ignore it maybe it will go away – usually it does too and unfortunately we stay in the place of unbelief and fear. At this point also it is all too easy to use excuses – maybe we hide behind our kids or our job or even what our Pastor believes and we don’t want the boat rocked so we do nothing..

Option 5 – Allow the challenge to do its work in us. This is where we recognize that God is at work and is challenging us for a reason – that the image of Christ may fully formed in us. In this option we are willing to hold loosely what we have believed and allow God to challenge it, shake it, sift it and let the wind blow away what is chaff. In this place we are willing to allow ourselves to feel uncomfortable while still trusting that he knows what he is doing and why. It is a place of surrender, a place that while not necessarily easy to be in is absolutely necessary if we are to move into greater revelation..

This is a season of many challenges for the church. Finances, confidence, mind sets, theology; it is a season where everything that can be shaken is being shaken. What a glorious time it is – God is challenging us and we are getting to see the truth about where we stand. For many, if not all of us, we are discovering that we don’t trust God as much as we thought, we don’t believe him as much as we ought to and largely, we don’t really experience the reality of what we believe. Oh the wonderful grace of God in revealing these things to us..

The devil would have us believe that these times are like they are because God is judging us yet the truth is far from that. In these challenging times the whisper from heaven is – “Come closer, come and see the real me, come, see and experience the reality of who I am. And when you see me as I truly am, everything will change. You will see your challenges from a new perspective, you will see the answers I have for those challenges and faith will rise in your heart, so that what you believe and what you see may be manifested in your realm.”.

God is challenging our theology especially in this season – what we believe about him, what we believe about his word, his kingdom and so much more. Let him do it, let him challenge your theology. In doing so you will come out the other side with a wonderfully updated view of God that will change your world. Allowing God to update your theology in this season is vital. The church worldwide is undergoing a reformation that at it’s culmination will dwarf any other that has been before. Out of that reformation the Bride will arise in all her glory, pure and spotless, rightly displaying the character, love and power of God, releasing heaven into earth everywhere she goes..

Letting God change you in this season is not only essential on a personal level but it makes you a part of the pioneering work of birthing reformation. That’s how big this is, it’s not just about you maturing it’s way bigger than that; it’s about the Church becoming who she was created to be.
Bring on the change, I say! Challenge our theology God, change it and change us!.

DEPRESSION

"BEFORE you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem,
make sure you ARE NOT, in fact, simply surrounded by assholes."
..- William Gibson

LIFE AND PAIN

The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills.The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. The girl you just called a slut? She was raped when she was 12. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. You never know what people are going through.

SOME PROFESSING CHRISTIANS WILL NOT BE GOING TO HEAVEN

Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'"....

FEAR

We must begin to see that agitation is really a manifestation of fear that is designed to steal our peace. As challenging as it may seem, we must make a quality decision to not become agitated...

CHILD OF GOD

The angels write this to you: “You, like everyone else who is incarnated at this time, are a holy and perfect child of God. We realize you may not always feel perfect and holy, and we also realize that you often don’t act that way. Nonetheless, God created your soul as a literal ‘chip off the old block.’ It contains God-essence, or Divine light, that can never be extinguished, soiled, or taken away from you. Nothing you could ever do would eradicate your Divine heritage.”.... ~ Doreen Virtue ~

LOVE SEEKS YOUR BEST ..

"when someone judges you, they're constantly building a case against you.

love someone today....." S. Robbins.

A FATHERS HEART

♥ A pastor with a father's heart leads the way for you straight into the arms of your Father so your own relationship with Him can immediately begin, for that is the most important thing ♥ It's time to come off of the life support and be fed daily for yourself ♥.....

FORGIVENESS...

In order to do all that God wants you to do, you must learn how to be criticized, misunderstood, rejected and be able to forgive those who are behind it. –Joyce Meyer

ACCEPTANCE..

As I love and accept myself exactly as I am, right here and right now with all my so-called flaws and imperfections, I find it easier to accept others in the same way. I am learning to release the need to control others and allow them the freedom to be who they are. I am learning to create peace within, and am doing the best I can with the understanding, knowledge, and awareness that I have at this time. .... Louise L. Hay.

DONT JUDGE A BOOK....

"No one has the right to judge you,

but they didn't feel what you felt in your heart."
