"God's various gifts are handed out everywhere, but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere, but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere, but God Himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it. Everyone benefits." 1 Corinthians 12 : 4 - 7
I believe my gift,
God's gift to me,
is my story.
My presentation.
My life message.
Using it to inspire
&
Motivate others.
May you use your gift from God to the best of your ability. Always to His glory.

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. ~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
I love this;
Just kinda stumbled upon it on StumbleUpon.com;
because there is so much truth & wisdom in the words.
Matt & I have often struggled in our marriage,
but we deal with it.
We love each other completely,
through the petty arguments

This has been On. My. Mind. Over & over. Back & forth. If Jesus came to give us grace, Which I know He did, For my entire life And yours, As well, Is an example Of His Saving Grace, Why then, Do some believe That wonderful Gift, That Grace, That Mercy, is only reserved for certain someones.

Another senseless killing.
Why?
Will it ever stop?
And for what? To "prove" one's point? Because you don't "agree"? For that, you take another's life? And not just 1 life, but 6!!!!
Including a 9-year-old child!!!!
What a coward
!!!! As you "hide" behind the constitution, As you try to "justify" your actions, Remember, God sees all!!!! So very sad! So very sickening! Why can't we all just get along? : ( Continue reading...

The Lord is my rock, my fortress & my deliverer.
My rock in whom I take refuge.
My shield & the horn of my salvation.
My stronghold." Psalm 18:2
What a wonderful burden life is.
Light, glorious moments.
Heavy, hard patches.
The inner strength that You provide allows us to best carry the weight. Continue reading...

Here it is.... A New Year! 2011!
And every year at this time, We talk about how bad this year has been, And how this next year has to be better; How it couldn't be much worse. We only remember the bad, Forgetting the good. We can't have the good without the bad. We wouldn't truly appreciate one without the other. For it is written: "Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
Job 2:10 I pray your blessings outnumber your troubles in 2011! Lynda
