My reflection:
“Wherever you are now, and wherever you want to go, I promise you-someone else has made that journey, and you can make it too.”
Jesus left us a path to follow.

My reflection:
“Although it takes tremendous courage to change old thought patterns, we can help ourselves to do so by adopting the little engine’s phrase, ‘I think I can, I think I can, ‘when we feel helpless or overwhelmed. Keeping our self talk empowering, not panic producing, helps us to do what we want to do and enhances our peace of mind immeasurably.” Sue Patton Thoele

My reflection:
“If you expect perfection, you’ll always be disappointed. But if you create realistic expectations from the beginning, you’ll be thrilled to find out that the glass isn’t partly empty, it’s nearly full.”

My reflection:
“Take small but meaningful steps in the right direction. Everything that brings you closer to where you want to end up is good. It’s more important to do something then to do something perfect. Keep trying different things until you get it.”Mira Kirshenbaum
Let us remember that God is with us on each of those steps.

My reflection:
Follow your passion; appreciate your own self worth
Always have something to hope for.
Purpose is knowing what you want to do and where you want to go in life. Passion is letting nothing stand in the way of getting there. (Vickie M. Worsham)
People will tell you that you are wrong. It has not and cannot be done! Some will even say you are crazy. But if you feel it is right, pursue your idea, your dream, your creativity. That is what makes new discoveries, beauty, and truth. (Susan Polis Schutz)

My reflection:
“You can’t keep a person out of the rain, but you can hold an umbrella for them and just let them know you care.”
God is our umbrella.

My reflection:
“I’m drawn to stories of overcomers… they seem to have something extra; the ability to lead ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. I believe their secret lies in the attitude they maintain about life, one made of faith, humor, courage, and purpose. They’ve learned how to juggle lots of balls in the air while keeping both feet on the ground and not toppling over when a strong wind blows.” Luci Swindoll

My reflection:
“And tomorrow? That’s the place where promises come true. You need to be smart and stay strong to live the life you want to have. But don’t ever forget; you are creative and capable and wise, and I know you have what it takes to make your days everything you want them to be. And remember this for sure… You can’t change a single thing about the past, But you can change absolutely everything about the future.” Douglas Pagels

My reflection is from Living Faith:
This is how it is with the Kingdom of God. Mark 4:26
“I love to watch kids play, especially when I get lost in my grown-up thoughts. At those times, I yearn to join them, but my height and wrinkles would give me away. Kids delight in the truth. They see with eyes unclouded by judgment. They’re hungry to learn and excited to discover the wonders of all around them. Dandelion bouquets and dead bugs are the gifts to others from their humble hearts.
Kids aren’t afraid to be vulnerable. They love simply can I say the same? As adults, do we forget the children we once were?
Matthew 18:3 serves as a reminder: Unless we become like little children we will not enter the kingdom of God. There is a child in each of us, ready to teach us and to lead us home to God’s Kingdom.
May we see with the eyes of a child and rejoice in the wonders of God’s love.” Gail Goleas
