My God is rock, in whom I take refuge (2 Samuel 22:3).

YOUR CROSS

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, There will always be sunshine after the rain.  Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, But God's always ready to answer your call.  He/She knows every heartache, sees every tear, A word from His/Her lips can calm every fear.  Your sorrows may linger throughout the night, But suddenly vanish at dawn's early light.  The Savior is waiting somewhere above, to give you His/Her grace and send you His/Her love.  Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, God always sends rainbows after the rain.

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.  The road to SUCCESS is not straight.  There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family.  You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to the place called SUCCESS.  (Phillip 4:13)

When it's easier to stay down, some men choose to GET UP.  When it's easier to be weak, some men choose to be STRONG.  When it's easier to be afraid, some men choose to ACT COURAGEOUSLY.  When it's easier to remain deceived, some men choose to know the TRUTH.  When it's easier to flee, some men choose to STAY.  HONOR, INTEGRITY, and WISDOM don't come from easy choices. 

CHARITY:

Charity is our link for lending a helping hand.  Although Faith and Hope play an integral and very important part in our work, charity is the most important part.  Our faith may be lost in sight, our hope may end in fruition, but charity extends beyond the grave through the boundless realms of eternity. 

 

...Keep me strong that I may help the weak.  Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.  I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.  I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood....

Excellence

Strive for excellence.  Push yourself to levels that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break barriers.

February:  

Courage

"Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared, and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. From this knowledge comes an inner strength that subconsciously inspires us to push on in the face of great difficulty. What can seem impossible is often possible, with courage."

Quality

Quality is a person's showcase.  It is the work we do---As in Nature.  We should strive for perfection.

April:

Success

The key to success is well in the hand when one finds the right door.

May:

"Great dreams contain inexhaustible truths, and orient us, like runes, towards our futures. One hesitates to try to explain them, one wants to dance them, act them out in living gestures. The more we put ourselves into a great dream, the more we get back. Great dreams are wells that never run dry."

                                                    Michael Grosso (SoulMaker)

June:

"There will always be people in life who say and think bad things about us. We can not control them. We can, however, choose how we respond. It is none of our business what others say and think about us."

July:                               

Determination

"No Quality is so essential to success as the quality of perseverance.  It overcomes almost everything."

August:

Positive Thinking

If you think you are beaten, You are. If you think you dare not, You don't. If you like to win, but think you can't; It's almost certain you won't. If you think you'll lose, You're lost. For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will. It's all in the state of mind. If you're out-classed, You are. You've got to think high to Rise; You've got to be sure of Yourself before You can win a prize. Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest, but sooner or later, the one who wins is the one who thinks (s)he can.

September:

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience which you must stop and look fear in the face... You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

                                                                                Eleanor Roosevelt

October:

"You can get what you want out of life if you are willing to pay the price for it. (Everything doesn't cost money$$$$$).

November:

"Once a task is begun, do not leave it 'til it's done. Be it great or small, do it well......or not at all."

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of Attitude on life...  We can not change our past... we can not change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We can not change the inevitable... The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.  And so it is with you...  We are in charge of our attitudes.
