My reflection:
“Sometimes, it seems as if the world around you is spinning out of control. Thankfully, the very things that can help you through times like these are the ones you have complete control over.
Face… Hope… Heart… These are the things that keep you empowered. They can’t be taken from you but you can use them to face adversity head-on and rise triumphantly above it.
No matter what unfolds, remember that nothing has the power to pull you down into a downward spiral. Instead, you can use any difficulty you encounter as a springboard to send you soaring among the stars.” Lynn Keachie
God will raise us up through any difficulties that we face.?

My reflection:
“Tucked away in a secret corner of our hearts is that college degree or those music lessons or that business to start or that mountain to climb or that book to write. They are all being put off until… someday. When you pursue your dreams, you tap into an unlimited source of energy and enthusiasm. When you don’t pursue your dreams, there is a sadness and a sense of ‘I wonder what would have happened if I had…” Rita Emmett

My reflection:
“Certainly there’s wisdom in working hard and planning and trying to be personally responsible. Those are all good ways of attacking life. But without the addition of prayer to animate these noble qualities with the might and wisdom of God, they don’t do much. Prayer is what confuses all our efforts and the genuine concerns of our hearts with God’s boundless ability. prayer is what frames our pressing, short term issues with gods eternal perspective, showing us just how temporary- and endurable, and winnable – even our most intense battles truly are. Prayer means hope. Prayer means help. Prayer means relief. Prayer means power.
And a lot of it.” Stephen and Alex Kendrick
Jesus reminds us to pray always.?

My reflection:
“Who you are is more than enough. Take a flower and see how it grows. It doesn’t grow according to someone else’s idea of what it should be. It grows in accordance with the perfect pattern that is inside it. It doesn’t try to grow from the outside in, but from the inside out. It allows the potential to unfold in its own way.” Ernie Carwile
God gives us the graces to unfold our lives each day

My reflection:
“People spend more time planning for a vacation than they do planning for what they want in life. To effectively plan for success, you must be clear about your long range goals, map a route to reach them, set short term goals, and schedule time to pursue them.” Connie Palladino, PhD
Let us make sure that God is in our plan.?

My reflection:
“Acceptance does not mean that you will always be perfect. It simply means that you will always overcome imperfection.
Acceptance is the road to peace-letting go of the worst, holding onto the best, and finding the hope inside that continues throughout life.
Acceptance is the hearts best defense, loves greatest asset, and the easiest way to keep believing in yourself and others.” Regina Hill
God loves us and gives us the grace is to accept ourselves

My reflection:
“Be not forgetful of prayer. Every time you pray, if your prayer is sincere, there will be a new feeling in the new meaning in it, which will give you fresh courage, and you will understand that prayer is an education.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
