7 Reasons to Consider Off-the-Grid Independent Living | The Daily Sheeple

FOX NEWS DISCUSSES THE COMING FOUR BLOOD MOON TETRAD PROPHECY (OCT 16, 2...

Feature Film DVD: The Victor Marx Story (trailer 2)

There will be peaks and valleys...

There will be peaks and there will be valleys in Life,but the key is to NEVER ever give up or give in. Just when you least expect it......there is "Light" around the corner. There is hope as long as you have the "Faith". Focus on God and His word to give you the strength and courage to get through whatever you are going through. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will eventually get to where you were meant to be......all with God's help.

Victim or Victor...

I am so very tired of people making excuses of why they are in the situation they are in. You know who you are. You have used the same excuses for going on 4 years now and have done nothing to better yourself or your situation. Instead of being the "Victim" try being the "Victor". Nothing is going to happen if you don't go and do it. No one is going to do anything for you if you don't help yourself. Change your mindset! We ALL suffer the consequences of our poor decisions and actions when it is NOT right with God. You are your own solution and your own problem. It is up to you how you want to live the rest of your life.

Learn from the past,but live in the present. The present is...

Learn from the past, but live in the present. The present is just that, a gift. Once it is gone, you can't get it back.

Let your mistakes make you wise and...

Let your mistakes make you wiser and stronger.......a better person, not a bitter person.

Forgiveness is the healing process in order for you to move on with...

Forgiveness is the healing process in order for you to move on with your life w/o bitterness, anger, or resentment. You can't live if you're angry and want revenge on those who hurt you. Let it go.....free yourself and live for Him not them in mind.<3 span="">

Pray to God to have eyes that see who needs...

Pray to God to have eyes that see who needs your time and love. To see who are truly hurting and in turmoil behind their facade and "Fake Smile". Pray to have a heart that discerns who is in trouble, unspoken or otherwise. Pray to have ears that will hear the hurt or fear in their voice. Extend your heart and hand to help those in turmoil. A smile hides a lot and only the eyes of a kind heart full of God's love and grace shall see and mend those that need someone to show them the way and to let them know that everything will be alright. Be the light in their darkness. Let God direct your path to those who need you today.

Cleaning out closets of your life...

There are times we will have to open our closets to our lives and clean it out. Throw out and throw away anything and anyone that is NOT productive to your growth, spiritual, or otherwise. They must be relinquished for your own good. Connect with like-minded people and people who will uplift you and not bring you down to their level. A lot of mishaps, misunderstandings, and judgments come from jealousy,but be mature enough to just walk away with your head held high knowing that you will not come down to their level. Pray for the lost souls and move on. God is the only "friend" and "family" you need to get you through what you are going through. After all, you are living for Him not for the negative people around you wishing you harm. Stay STRONG! God bless

When God closes a door...

When God closes a door......don't always look for the obvious......He may have opened a window for an opportunity vs another door.

He is my water to my thirst...

He is my water to my thirst, food to my hunger and fire to my soul.

When God closes a door...

When God closes a door......don't always look for the obvious......He may have opened a window for an opportunity vs another door.

When God closes a door.....

When God closes a door......don't always look for the obvious......He may have opened a window for an opportunity vs another door.

Go as long as you can and then take another step. If you feel as though you can't ....

Go as long as you can and then take another step. If you feel as though you can't take another step, then crawl. The point is.........NEVER EVER give up! Keep moving forward. With God by your side and your perseverance.....you WILL make it to your destination and you will do so knowing God was by your side the whole way. The "Faith" you have now will carry you through. God bless

Just as we trust God to carry us through the storms of our lives.....

Just as we trust God to carry us through the storms of our lives, trust Him with your heart as well. Let Him come in and take over where there once was confusion, hatred, and full of "Self" and let it wash away such as the tides that come to shore and roll out with the waves of the ocean. Let their only remain serenity, compassion, and love for ALL.

One small crack doesn't mean you are broken, it simply means...

One small crack doesn't mean you are broken, it simply means you were put to the test and you survived......you did not fall into tiny pieces. The crack allowed you to bend instead of to the point of breaking your faith in yourself, mankind and God.

Why do you put limitations on yourselves when limitations are of no concern for the ones who are truly lmited to some degree..

Why do you put limitations on yourselves when limitations are of no concern for the ones who are truly limited to some degree? Perseverance and courage along with God by our side will get us farther than allowing ourselves to stand in our own way.

Yes, I am a Christan, but it doesn't mean I am perfect....

Yes, I am a Christian,but it doesn't mean I am perfect. I have and will continue to make mistakes, but God's grace is so much BIGGER than my sins. I am blessed to have Him as my Father and confidante. He is and always will be my "Everything". Without Him I am nothing.....with Him, I am but a child of God who is loved unconditionally.

We all have a built-in GPS inside us all and that GPS is....

We all have a built-in GPS inside us all and that GPS is the small still voice of "God Performance Standards". The difference is, some of us choose to listen and adhere to it while others plainly ignore it.

I know you are suffering and going through so much right now, but...

I know you are suffering and going through so much right now,but just remember this.........God only gives His biggest struggles to only His strongest warriors. Just hang in there.....your blessings will be doubled at the end of your trials and tribulations and it is just around the corner. DON"T ever give up.....just keep praying and putting one foot in front of the other. If you give up before the storm is over, you would have missed out on the blessing that is just around the corner. Just like the rainbow comes after a bad storm so shall your blessing come after your storm in life.<3 span="">

Trust me, it seems like it can't get any worse right now, but....

Trust me, it seems like it can't get any worse right now, but in time it will get better. Just have some faith and hold steadfast to praying. Even a broke clock has the correct time twice a day.

Be kind to yourself and forgive yourself...

Be kind to yourself and forgive yourself. We all make mistakes. God forgave you and Jesus already paid the price. Start loving yourself again and start living.

Whenever someone says something negative about you, just......

Whenever someone says something negative about you, just say to yourself, "What YOU think of me is really none of my business". Do you know why? Because they don't matter. Who does matter is God. He is the only one you should concern yourself with. You live for Him, not people.

Don't let your past keep you from your present..

Don't let your embarrassment, humiliation, and regrets from your past infringe upon the present. You don't live there any more and as such, you're missing out on the present. The present is just that, a gift. You're not that person anymore, you've grown and matured and all the much wiser for it. So, forgive yourself...... start befriending yourself and love yourself as God does. He forgave you, isn't it about time you forgave yourself? <3 br="">

Our words can mean so much to us or it can break our psyche..

Our own words can mean so much to us or it can break our psyche. It is all in the wording. So, be careful what you choose to say to yourself. Be kind to yourself and start speaking and thinking only positive and loving thoughts. Remember, you are loved by God the most high.....you have a purpose and you are worthy.

The color of our skin doesn't define who we are as a person...

The color of our skin doesn't define who we are as a person, but our personality and how we treat other living beings reflects our heart and who we truly are as a person. Our actions speaks louder than words. You can say one thing, but your actions reflects the "True" YOU.

We are all so diverse in our way of thinking and comprehending of what is said...

We are all so diverse in our way of thinking and comprehending of what is said, read, or written. Two people may read the same article and come away with two separate point of views or understanding of what they read. Therefore, perhaps, if someone comes across something they read by an individual and before they get offended by what they read or any accusations being said, to please ask the person who wrote it and ask what was meant by it prior to getting upset and misconstruing something that was taken out of context, all causing mayhem where it should not have been. When someone sincerely apologizes for upsetting the individual(s), unintentionally I might add, then it should be taken at face value.....nothing more, nothing less. A sincere apology from the heart should be accepted and the unrelenting of the issue should be put to rest. Just pray and walk away when all else fails. <3 br="">

We all have a purpose in life...

We all have a purpose in life. It is up to you to find out what you're purpose is. Unwrap your God given present called talent and pray for His divine intervention for guidance. When you find out what your purpose is..........do it with love and compassion as He would.

2nc chances are called, "Tomorrow".....

So today might have been a bad day, but you have a 2nd chance to make things better, a 2nd chance to say "I'm Sorry", or a 2nd chance to say,"I love you" because tomorrow is another day......your 2nd chance full of new ideas, hopes and possibilities.

Be a good person,but don't try to prove it...

"Be a good person, but don't try to prove it." Let it come.......let it go and keep repeating the process. Don't do it for "Recognition", do it because it is the "Right" thing to do. God knows what lies in your heart. You will be rewarded in the end.

I do so because God blesses me and I turn what to be a blessing to others...

Throughout the years and just recently again, people keep finding out what I had done for others through the grapevine. They then came to me and asked me why I didn't tell everyone what I done for people because I should be recognized. My question to them is? "Why". When I do something nice or good for people whether it be family.friends, strangers, or even foe......I do it because it was either the right thing to do at the time, it needed to be done and someone had to step up, or just because it came from the goodness of my heart. I have done many a things anonymously when I could. I never expected to be repaid or acknowledged for what I had done. I know the people whom I have helped along the way in some form or another appreciated it either by their heartfelt smile, great BIG ((HUGS)) and/or tears of gratitude. That was my repayment. That said it all to me. It came from their heart to mine. I don't do good things to be a "Martyr" or to allow others to pat myself on the back when I don't even pat myself on the back. I don't want to be recognized.....just knowing they are happy means a lot to me and they have one less thing to worry about. God knows what is in their hearts and mine too. God blesses me in so many ways and I choose to be a blessing to others in however I can, however God chooses me to. So, to all those who keep asking me......this is my response. God bless

People are so unhappy with themselves or the lives they are living that when....

People are so unhappy with themselves or the lives they are living that when they see an innocent soul.....they attack. Just remember, it is NOT you, it is all about them. Just walk away knowing this and pray for their lost wounded soul.

We all need to be reminded from time to time how "Special"...

We all need to be reminded from time to time how "Special" and "Worthy" we are. How creative, intelligent, loving, beautiful human beings we are and maybe, just maybe, one day we will begin to believe this ourselves if we're told this enough times.

"Clean House" and "Detox" your life and yourself....

If your life isn't going the way you want it to or there are too many negatives......"CLEAN HOUSE"......."DETOX" your life and yourself. Rid your life of any negatives. This is to include all the "Fake" friends who may smile to your face and talk badly and enviously behind your back. The "Player" that is with you half-heartedly while still playing his/her games behind your back. The job that is not fulfilling and not rewarding....a job that is leading you to nowhere. We all have choices and the choice is yours as far as what do you want to do with your current state in life.  No one can make that choice but you.<3 span="">

Words can be like a double edge sword...they maim and leave invisible scars..

Words can be like a doubled edge sword....they maim and leave invisible scars to which can't always be healed. As I tell my daughter all the time, "STOP and think before you speak and STOP and think before you act...... because once it is said and done, you can't get them back. It can't be undone and the damage has already been done."

All the trials and tribulations that we go through are meant for personal growth and....

All the trials and tribulations that we go through are meant for personal growth and to remind us that we can not do it on our own,but to rely on God and ask Him to help us through whatever it is we are going through......to give us strength. <3 br="">

God puts us at the right place and the right time for a reason....

God puts us at the right time at the right place for a reason hence the sweet man of God,Charles Ramsey, who not only rescued the 3 women in Cleveland, OH, but he also refuses to accept the reward for rescuing them because he has a job and he only did what was right. God bless this wonderful human being. There is still "Good" in this world. The problem is we are ALL so busy and in such a hurry with our own lives that we don't take the time to listen to the whisper of God to be able to make a difference. That little nudge or whisper is Him directing your path for a reason. You can be a rescuer or a leader for good......Ignoring it could lead to unforeseen circumstances or missed opportunities.

Don't ever give up......

Don't ever give up......just keep "Praying" and keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. ♥

Light shines through the brokoen pieces of our lives which...

Light shines through the broken pieces of our lives which allows for growth. ♥

Share your smile and start a chain reaction....you never know....

Have a very blessed day. Remember to be kind to everyone you come across in your path. Share your smile and start a chain reaction....you never know, that could be the only sunshine that person sees for the day. God bless *+* ♥

We aren't here just to live for ourselves..

We aren't here just to live for ourselves, we are here to be a blessing to one another and to live for Him. <3 br="">

You have the power to make your life a happy one or not...

YOU have the power to make your life a happy one or not. You also give your power to people who may take that away from you......remember, it is your choice.......NOT theirs, whether you are happy or not. You have to be your own best advocate and your own best friend to fight for yourself and your life. No one else will. ♥

You are NOT a mistake...

Don't let anyone tell you that your birth or existence was a mistake. How can you be when God created each and everyone of us in His loving image for a reason. God does NOT make mistakes. ♥

Not forgiving someone for what they have done to you will only hurt you in the.......

Not forgiving someone for what they have done to you will only hurt you in the long run. It will make you bitter and live a short unhappy life. Holding on to grudges and wanting revenge only shortens your life while those who wronged you live on with their life not thinking of what they had done to you nor do they care. Forgive those who have hurt you,abused you, mistreated you verbally and physically, NOT for them, but for YOU and your peace of mind. Most of all pray for them. ♥

Negativity,worry,anything of the sort is of the devil. Remind hm who.....

Negativity,worry,anything of the sort is of the devil. Remind him who your Father is and remind him of his future. You stand strong in the Lord. <3 br="">

How sad to lose a once close friend(s) just because we have difference of opinions such as.....

How sad to lose a once close friend(s) just because we have difference of opinions such as politics. It is NOT that one is right and one is wrong, it is just that, a difference of opinion. We ALL should behave like mature, grown, responsible adults and just learn to agree to disagree on certain topics. ♥

You can try it your way, but you will always fail or suffer doing......

You can try it your way, but you will always fail or suffer doing so because ultimately God will prevail. ♥

Racism is taught not born...

Racism is taught not born. Unfortunately it breeds from our parents, environment and upbringing. We need to "NOT" teach racism, bigotry, hatred, intolerance, and prejudice  to our young and perhaps the world will be a much better place to live upon..........side by side full of acceptance and love instead of one full of hate because of the color of our skin or ethnicity. For the first, most important formative years, children know nothing of compassion, tolerance, love, human decency and truth until we show them by our actions and tell them using our words. We are ALL God's children;therefore it should NOT matter what the color of our skin is. ♥

Be strong in the Lord for He has His hands on you and....

Be strong in the Lord for He has His hands on you and He sees great things in you. ♥

Be "Kind" to the "Unkindest" people for they need it the most.

Be "Kind" to the "Unkindest" people for they need it the most. <3 br="">

You shouldn't base your happiness on a person...

You shouldn't base your happiness on a person. It has to come from within. People will let you down, intentional or not. And possessions are just that, possessions. They can't reciprocate love. Love yourself first and everything else will fall into place. ♥

I'll "Love" YOU forever. I'll like YOU for always. As long as I'm living my "Baby" you'll be.

I'll "Love" YOU forever. I'll like YOU for always. As long as I'm living my "Baby" you'll be. <3 br="">

Let us not forget to "Love" ourselves in the process of loving others...

Let us not forget to "Love" ourselves in the process of loving others. You matter too. You can't get the kind of love you are searching for in others or things.....it has to come from within. Protect yourself though. Love,but don't allow yourself to be abused. Give, but don't allow yourself to be used. Most of all, trust your instincts.....don't let anyone take advantage of your love or kindness. Just be sure to listen to your instincts, they will steer you clear of trouble. ♥

Children are the life line to the world. Children are God's gifts and miracles on a loan to us from above...

Children are the life line to the world. Children are God's gifts and miracles on a loan to us from above. They are an extension of their parents, upbringing and environment. We are to love them, to guide them, discipline with a soft word, protect them,teach them,nurture them and lead them to walk a life such as the Father walked. We are their advocate and their teacher. Children are very impressionable and astute to what is going on around them;therefore the children need to see us not only "Talk the Talk" but also see us "Walk the Walk". Don't say one thing and do another. <3 br="">

Nestle CEO: Water Is Not A Human Right, Should Be Privatized

I don't want to gain the whole world if I have to lose my soul doing it...

I don't want to gain the world if I have to lose my soul doing it. ♥
(Matthew 16:26) "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole World, and loses his own Soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his Soul?"

Use all the negatives that come into your life and learn from it....let it.....

Use all the negatives that come into your life and learn from it....let it make you wiser not bitter. ♥

Every moment...think God....

Every moment....think God. Think before we act and think before we speak.....let God shine through our actions and words. <3 br="">

Just be "YOU" and the right people will come along and....

Just be "YOU" and the right people will come along and like "YOU" for who "YOU" are and not a pretend version of yourself. ♥

If you have to force anything.........

If you have to force anything.....it's not worth it. Let it go and move on. ♥

If ALL individuals were to recognize that we are ALL responsible for one another.....

If ALL individuals were to recognize that we are ALL responsible for one another,this world would be a much better place for all who resides on this planet. Are we not our "Brothers' Keeper"? If you see someone faltering or need help in any way....are we not suppose to help them to see the light and sway from the darkness with love and compassion? Until we realize that, there will always be mayhem and unnecessary hardships. ♥

You may see me smile a lot and you may think I am "Happy" all the time....

You may see me smile a lot and you may think I am "Happy" all the time, but this can be further from the truth. I show my strength to the world and yet I am crying on the inside and the tears are from the depths of my soul.

My smile is to let others know that I come across that they are validated and are worthy as a person, to be recognized and not looked over as if their existence didn't matter.

My smile helps me to remember that I am NOT the only one who is going through trials and tribulations. We ALL are at some point in our lives going through our own personal hell and problems.

My smile is because I have overcome these trials and tribulations and that I have learned from them and I became wiser and stronger than before.

My smile also helps me to cheer up because I know my dark days and my problems can't last forever for this too shall pass. I have God by my side and I relinquish all my cares,woes, and burdens to be laid upon His feet. He is bigger than all my problems and yours combined. :)

My smile helps me to realize that tomorrow is a brand new day with new hopes and possibilities.

My smile is for remembering the good times and cherish them for they don't last forever either,but can forever remain in our hearts and memories.

My smile is from me to you out of "LOVE" and just because. <3 br="">

I know we are ALL going through our own trials and tribulations, but.....

I know we are ALL going through our own trials and tribulations, but let us remember, that there are others who have it so much worse than what we are going through. There are so many battles others are facing that you don't even know about. So please, next time you come across someone, share your smile with them. It doesn't cost a dime and it can mean all its weight in gold to the person receiving it. Be kind and be patient as you would want the same done for you. God bless *+* ♥

Surround yourself with people who will encourage you, support you, and lift you up not degrade you and bring you down. You can do that all on your own. ♥

Each day is better than the day before....

Each day is better than the day before. It gives us a new beginning, a second chance of living if you will, so make the most of it and let us not forget to thank God for waking us up to this second chance of living called "Morning". ♥

God created us ALL for a reason...

God created us ALL for a reason. We are all equally important and were created by Him for a purpose. ♥

We need to continually seek God and put Him first in our lives.....

We need to continually seek God and put Him first in our lives. There are so many natural disasters as well as man-made disasters that are happening more and more frequently. Earthquakes, famine, drought, bombings, floods,illnesses, viruses, and the list goes on. Are these not the signs of the times my friends? We all need to put our priorities in perspective and get ready for His coming. It is NEVER too late to do so. God bless us ALL Everywhere throughout the world. *+* ♥

(Matthew 24:7) “For Nation will rise against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom. And there will be Famines, Pestilences, and (EARTHQUAKES) in various places.”

(Luke 21:11) “And there will be great (EARTHQUAKES) in various places, and Famines and Pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from Heaven.”

Make every moment and every day count....

Make every moment and every day count. Don't concentrate on the bad things and worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow is NOT promised to us and it will take care of itself. As for the bad things, they can't last forever. Focus on the one true thing that matters......God. He will get you through anything. Just have "Faith" and patience. God bless *+ *♥

Instead of always complaining....let's count all our many blesesings instead....

Instead of always complaining.....let's count all our many blessings instead. Let us thank God for yet another beautiful day. A day to share Love, Compassion, Kindness to all we come across. Let's watch it spread like wild fire. ♥

You can't "Photoshop" an ugly personality...

You can photoshop your picture to make you more attractive and appealing to the eye;however no amount of photoshop will cover your "Ugly" personality. "Pretty is as Pretty does". ♥

Always put yourself in other' people's shoes....

"Always put yourself in other people's shoes. You don't know what they're going through and what battles they are struggling. If it will hurt you, then you know it will hurt them also." Be mindful and considerate of others. ♥

I shiver at the thought that people will walk on by and not help the person or people in need...

I shiver at the thought that people will walk by and not help the person or people in need. They can be right there in front of them and they will walk on by. No second thought or a second glance. This truly breaks my heart.  I am a person if I see anyone who needs help in any way, I go out of my way to lend a helping hand. I always try to put myself in other peoples' shoes. I would want the same to be done for me. That is just how I am.

It saddens me when I see how the world has changed us. We have become a society where we are more cold hearted towards one another and society in general. Have we become oblivious to our surroundings or have we been desensitized because of all the media that we get bombarded with on a daily basis?

Either way, I choose to NOT let the world change the core of who I am. Everyone is my brother in need and as such I will try to be there for them......one way or another. <3 p="">

Appreciate and love everyone person that comes into your life...

Appreciate and love every person that comes into your life. For each person that comes across your path, does so for a reason. If they're good to you, then cherish the moments for they may not last forever such as life. If people are unreasonably cruel and treat you with malice....pray for them and love them too for they evidently need it the most. They are here to teach you a lesson. You are being tested and how you choose to react is your final grade. These people make you realize you do NOT want to be like them. You want to be a better person than them and a better person then you were yesterday. ♥

Just STOP what you're doing right now and "Breathe"....

Just stop what you're doing right now and "Breathe". Just because you had a bad day today doesn't mean tomorrow will be bad too or the rest of your life for that matter. Tomorrow is full of 2nd chances hopefully one with better days ahead. Shake off yesterday and start anew and eagerly anticipating for what tomorrow can bring. ♥

Whatever the trials and tribulations Life has thrown at you.........

Whatever the trials and tribulations Life has thrown at you.....pray and ask God to help you through. You can't do it alone and He doesn't want you to. He is waiting for you to talk to Him today. ♥

Without Faith there is no Hope.....w/o Hope there is no Love......and w/o Love there is....

Without Faith there is no Hope........ without Hope there is no Love .......and without Love there is only chaos and mayhem.

When Life goes awry as they will...

Remember, that when life goes awry, when people are cruel to you, things go wrong as they often will, everyone and everything seems to be against you.............kneel in "PRAYER". We can NOT do it alone nor should we think we can. Don't give in to all the negativity, hatred, anger against the ones who wronged you. That is what satan wants you to do. Anything negative is of the devil. Instead, bring all your negativity, worries, hatred, anger, disgust to God. Let Him fight your battle for you. Satan is trying to lure you away from God any way possible that includes wishing others ill will. Just PRAY for those who wronged you. Forgive them, not for them, but for your own sake.....to free yourself of the bitterness and anger so you can live in PEACE. God knows and sees all. We just have to stay focused on Him and stay faithful in prayer because this too shall pass. We all are being tested. Both satan and God has plans for us. It is your choice which one to follow. God bless *+* ♥

Living You "Loved" us. Dying You "Saved" us...

Thank you Jesus for allowing Yourself to die for us sinners as per Your Father's request so that we may have another chance at living. Living You "Loved" us. Dying You "Saved" us. As such, we should "Live" for You as our token of appreciation. I love You and I for one am so blessed to have You in my Life. You exude all things "Good". Thank You for Your endless love.  ♥

He is my "Everything"....

He is my "Everything". My past, my present and my future. Without Him I am nothing,but with Him I am a child of God who is loved unconditionally and is saved by His grace. I am so very blessed. <3 br="">

Your mistakes do NOT define you as a person...

Remember, Your mistakes do NOT define you as a person. Mistakes are there to help you learn. It is how you over came all of them that make you the person you are today.....hopefully a stronger and a much wiser person than before. ♥

My body and cereal are in competition with one another...

My body and cereal are in competition with one another to see who can make the loudest noises.....the only thing is, the cereal needs milk to make those sounds of snap, crackle and pop. I can do it all on my own without any milk. LOL

God's NO is not a rejection,but one of redirection...

In the end it will always be His way not ours. Whatever He has in store for us is a whole better than what we think we have in store for ourselves. Or wants and needs aren't necessary those of God. God supplies all our wants and needs, anything other is purely selfish and greedy. <3 br="">

There can NEVER be trust between two people who...

There can NEVER be trust between two people who cheated with one another on their significant partners. You will always wonder in the back of your mind if they will "cheat" on you esp since you both cheated together. Not a good basis and foundation for a relationship. ♥

Sometimes all we can do is be there for them by way of...

Sometimes when someone is going through something in their lives whether it be a loss of some sort, health, job loss, family feud, friendship discord, finances, spiritual.....whatever the circumstances.......it is times like these that they don't necessarily want advice. Sometimes all you can do is just be there for them and say these (3) impactful words to let them know you care....."I am here" and "I love you". ♥

I am but a child of God and as such.........

I have been through a lot in my life as we all have. I have been abused mentally, emotionally, physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse,neglected, rejected...........all from different people in my life. Some were family members, or friends of the family, while others were the wrong guys that I chose for myself because I thought that was what I deserved. I've been beaten down in life, but I always pulled myself back up from my bootstraps, dusted myself off and with God by my side along my journey....I persevered. If it were not for Him, I wouldn't be here today typing this.

He is my "ROCK", my source of strength. He is my Best Friend and "Confidante". He loves me for me and He loves me unconditionally. He died for me and as such I want to live for Him now and forever. I have a need to do right by Him so He can be proud of who I became. I have come so far, but I have so much further to go. I am by no means perfect, but  I am NOT the same person I used to be. My past is just that, the past. It was my teacher and I have learned so much about people, life, and mostly about myself. That I am a much wiser person and a much stronger person because of it. I have also learned not to become like those people.

No matter how hard you try to "live your life your way" just as Ole blue eyes, Frank Sinatra, sang,"I did it my way"......it will always be full of misery,hardships,and heartaches because God has already preplanned your destiny for you. His way will always prevail and if you STOP trying to live life "your way" and live it according to His way.....it will be a much better and easier life to live.

God has me here for a purpose as for you all. He has His reasons for everything that happens. We may not understand His wisdom, we just have to accept His will. I do not know what that may be, but I know I am a much better person than when I started on this journey of life, but I have a ways to go. He is still working on me;therefore I am still a work in progress. I am so blessed for so many things, mostly because of His grace for having forgiven me of my sins. I therefore try to tribute my life to live for Him the best I can with what I have where I am in appreciation of what He has done for me.

I may not quote scriptures like most people on here because I feel, in my personal opinion, that while the scriptures are good as a reference point, I choose to show my love for Him differently, to appeal to the masses by my posts and/or status updates because the scriptures and words needs a visual to remember what was said. I like to coax people gently and still get my message across........hopefully one of compassion, respect and love for all living beings. To reach those who are lost and bring them that much closer to Him.

A quote by Benjamin Franklin said it best, "Tart words make no friends; a spoonful or honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar".

You can capture bees with honey, not vinegar. Your words speaks volumes about yourself along with your actions towards others.

It's like some Christians that I have witnessed and come across are so hypocritical. "Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk.' Show me by example, don't tell me you are and yet do the opposite. Such hypocrisy. :(

We are who we are because of what has happened to us in our past, but it should never let it define us. We should learn from it and take the lessons we learn to make us that much wiser and to share our knowledge with those who may need it and benefit from it. To let others know that they are not alone and that they too shall over come it and become stronger because of it.

Each person that comes across our path happens for a reason. A divine intervention from God if you will. People are meant to hurt us so that we may become stronger, to learn something from them and the experience, or better yet to learn something of ourselves in the process.

For those who have hurt me and you know who you are....I "Forgive" you. I do so not for you,but for me. I cannot let what happened to me make me bitter. I choose to let it make me better. I am not defined by my past and I choose not to be a victim because of it. I choose rather to be a "Victor" all with God by my side.

For those I have hurt, I am truly sorry. I can only hope you can forgive me and I ask your forgiveness. I am NOT the same person as I was then even though it was not done intentionally or out of malice but one of fear,hurt,and pain.

I may not have been the perfect daughter, sister, friend, or mother, but I am the best version of me that I can possibly me.

To God, I thank You everyday upon waking up for yet another chance and another day of Life. Thank You for all my second chances called "Mornings" to start a brand new day with brand new hopes and ideas. Another day to share Your love for us and with others.

I am but a Child of God and as such I will try to reflect that in everything I say and do. I want people to see Him in me when they hear me, see me, or read my wall. A message of love and God.

I pray for everyone everywhere everyday upon waking up before I even rise to start my day. I don't always do specific prayers unless sometime has told me the nature for their prayers. But nonetheless, I have everyone in my thoughts and prayers and I ask God each morning upon waking up and each evening upon going to bed to bless us all and to please hear all our prayers.

I hope that when I am gone, I have made some kind of difference in this world for the better. To leave a legacy one full of love,compassion, respect, and consideration for all.

I pray that my life may have meant something to someone. That my life has not been in vain.

I believe there is good in people. Some we  might have to look a little deeper than others, but I know it's there to be found. I try to be a positive person and I try to see the good in others, I want to believe the best in people. I have always been for the underdog and tried to help people the best I can. I have always befriended the friendless because I saw the hurt and longing in their eyes when they were rejected by people. If someone rejects you, it is not a reflection on you, they just don't know how fabulous you are and it is their loss. :)

I feel deeply and passionately for others. I feel their pain. I understand it. Sure, I have been hurt in the process and trusting too much,but I would still do it all over again. For if it changed but one life in doing so, then God's mission was accomplished via using me as His tool and vessel. I try to see positivity in everything. Even a broke clock has the correct time twice a day. ;)  I try to encourage people and lift them up spiritually and with some semblance of humor along the way.

Life is too short to be serious all the time. So lighten up. Laugh hardily til your side and stomach hurts. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance in the rain instead of running for cover. Sing like no one is listening....who cares if you're off key. Most of all, Love yourself as He first loved us. Forgive those who wronged you, hurt you,abused you just as quickly as you would want  God to forgive you and your sins.

Be the person you would want to meet. Be that "Mirror" that reflects love,respect,compassion, and kindness for others.

Have patience with yourselves and others, esp the elderly. God had patience with you so please be patient with yourself and others. All good things come in time.

Lend a helping hand to those that need it. Don't be greedy.......share your abundance and wealth with those less fortunate. If you have nothing to share monetarily, your time and love will do just as well.

If you can't be nice and speak kind words.....then may I suggest that you keep silent. Words can lift you up or tear you down......so please choose wisely. As I always taught my daughter, "Think before you speak and think before you act because once it is said and done, you can't undo either. What is done is done".

Trust is like glass, once it is broken and you try to repair it with glue, it will never be the same as it once was. It takes a life time to build that trust and just a second to break and lose it. Be careful who you trust your heart and life with.

You are beautiful just the way you are. You were created in His divine image and Likeness and He does NOT make any mistakes. You can't find love in people or possessions....it has to come from within. For when people leave you or hurt you and they will, or your possessions no longer are there for you.........YOU still have YOU and your love of yourself to get you through.

Being single doesn't mean that you aren't worthy of being loved, it simply means that God is writing your love story and He needs to make sure that person is "Perfect" for you. Don't settle for someone just because you are lonely and then have regrets afterwards. I would rather be in no relationship than one who made me feel lonely and miserable. I can do that all on my own.

Be your own best friend for in the end when it's all said and done, you are all you have so you might as well like yourself enough to love yourself.

In closing, plant the seed of kindness and compassion along the way and once it is planted in someone's life, it will blossom and spread like wild flower for all to witness and share.

Be kind to one another and love one another as He first loved us. Mostly,look beyond the facade of people or the walls they have built around themselves for we all are wearing some kind of mask and have some kind of wall up for protection because of what has transpired in our lives. But with patience and time with a whole lot of love.....that too can be overcome.

I want to say a big heartfelt "Thank You" to you all. For being there for me and encouraging me along the way when I needed it. For your comments and compliments I couldn't have asked for better friends such as you. Yes, I haven't met someone of you,but I feel as though I know you,just by sharing with me during this brief time we have interacted. I am honored and blessed to call you my friends.

A great BIG ((HUG)) and a kiss on the cheek. :*

I love you all. :) May God bless each and everyone of you now and always. *+*
