have a little faith
I just finished reading the book “have a little faith” by Mitch Albom, author of “Tuesdays with Morrie”. It’s an incredible true story of a man digging a whole lot deeper into faith and finding there God’s greater purpose for his own life.
i cling to God’s promoses to us in his Word.

Quote from the book “Life without Limits” by Nick Vujicic
Page 101
” When it seems like you can’t catch a break, try creating your own. When you’ve been hit and knocked down by an overwhelming loss or tragedy, allow yourself time to grieve, and then act to create some good out of the bad.
Adopting an attitude of action creates positive momentum. The first steps are the hardest, no oubt about it. Just getting up out of bed may seem impossible at first, but once you are up, you can move forward, and as long as you are moving forward, you are on a path away from the past and towardd the future. Go with that. Move ahead step by step.”
“Let him that would move the world, move himself first.” -Socrates
I walked a mile with pleasure,
She chatted all the way.
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow.
And ne’er a word said she.
But,oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.
Robert Browning Hamilton
Patience.
Patience is more than waiting for an answer or for the receipt of blessing.
Patience is deeper than struggling with the passage or time.
Patience is the practise of trusting even when we cannot see.
Patience forces us to focus on doing our part, while we wait for God to do His.
Patiences pinpoints areas where we must grow in order to receive.
Patience evokes a spirit of humility because we recognize that we are not in charge.
Patience involves seeking the Source insteadd of the solution.
Patience is maturity revealed.
Patience is the art of waiting, expectantly, joyfully and quietly when you have no iddddea what you are waiting for.
Patience is the ability to stand perfectly still in the vortex of chaos, andd be totally content to hang out until further notice simply because you have no intention or desire to move forward without His instruction.
