Family is like Branches on a tree...our lives may grow in different directions but our roots will always stay as one.

 So, no matter the ups and downs you face...(1 Timothy 5:8);
remember: because of family you will always come out stronger, brighter and better than before!

Friendships

That's why there is such power in true friendships! "It’s natural to lose friends over time. People change. People move. All too often, few take their place." "We become known more by our titles, our accomplishments, or our kids. Increasingly we become known by what we do more than who we are." That's because today people don't know who we are...they only know / see what we do.   True friends know who you are (when the curtains are closed), they know who you can and will be and support your journey. They ask you the tough questions to push you. They correct you without fear of offending. They challenge you to take risks for your betterment and uplifting. They give you permission to be who you are, not less. They don't allow you to be stagnant. They encourage you to move forward and grow. They value you for who you are more than what you do.

Truth about Patience…

Patience a virtue...?  This quote has helped change my understanding of patience: “Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.” ~Edward G.

Put Your Armor On

Image
"When you embrace your value and God-ordained purpose in life, you will be able to walk in strength and confidence." Remember: "The enemy will take notice of a person once riddled with insecurity standing strong, and he will come at you like a thief in the night with his arrows of discouragement to break you." God's word says: put on the full armor of God to protect yourself from dangers and attacks. This armor is a conscious outlook training our thoughts, our words, our attitudes and our behaviors.  Mediate on my word day and night, let it always be with you - for it is your most powerful weapon.  God loved you so much, He made provision to keep you safe. He never said the road would be easy, He said no weapon formed against you will prosper/succeed. He said pain will endure for a little while but joy, joy will always comeback!
