Just be.....

Psalm 139:14 "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."

Why would you ever want to compromise your life which is precious to God to create something unpleasant and fake for this world? Make your being count. Lose track of the negativity and dishonesty that can inundate you daily.  Live positively and authentically understanding how wonderful and productive you can be thru Jesus Christ our Lord.

Here are two things I hope that you will remember:

-When you wake up to a new day, be grateful for another chance.

-When others take the easy road, be the one who takes the right road.

-When something must be done, be proactive.

-When several possibilities present themselves, be decisive with your priorities.

-When achieving something is important to you, be open about it and go for it.

-When the work seems overwhelming, be concerned only with the next small step.

-When worries cross your mind, be sure to focus on what you can control.

-When real problems arise, be ready to address them upfront.

-When mistakes are made, be okay with them and learn from them.

-When you have something to say, be willing to speak up.

-When what has been done in the past still isn’t working, be the needed change.

-When doubt is lingering in your mind, be confident in your abilities.

Hebrews 1:9 "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."
