Sometimes you must look forward,
And refuse to look back,
You must not allow fear to hold you down
or keep you prisoner.
If your afraid to move on
And you continiue to live
In a past of regrets,
You miss the point of being alive.
You have already buried yourself
In your coffin of limitations
And in the ground of fear.
There is joy in new beginnings,
And in new opportuntities.
There is excitement and wonder
In fresh starts.
Joy is simple yet profound.
It is in your attitude ,
Brought about by appreciation
of the ordinary and the simple.
There is joy in the smell of fresh coffee in the morning,
In the song of a bird outside your window,
In a fresh breeze on a hot day,
In the laughter of family as you gather.
There is joy in meeting someone new
And starting something new...
Oh the possibilities are endless...
Don't limit yourself...
And don't limit what God can do,
If you don't lay down and stop trying to live.
Decide to live another day and expect good things to happen!

In Memory Of Dad
I thought of you today and I cried...
I thought of all the things you said,
and the things you'll never say,
And I shed a silent tear.
I thought of all the things you did,
And all the things you will never do,
And I shed a silent tear.
I thought of all the people you touched,
And all the people who will never know you,
And I shed a silent tear.
I thought of your humor,joy and kindness,
And the silly things you always did,
And I shed a silent tear.
I cried on the inside yet I smile on the outside,
As I reflect on how blessed we were to have you as
a father. I wonder if you ever look down and see us?
Are you proud of us?
You loved us and you taught us well.
You instilled so many things in us,
love, kindness, compassion, strength,
wisdom humor and joy.
And we have done well with it,
For we have shared and passed it on,
And so you live on...
In our minds and hearts and in our actions.

Do you know who you are?
Who are you when no one is looking?
What are you core beliefs?
What has your heart and your thoughts?
What type of words come out of your mouth?
What has your time and money?
What would you live and die for?
Do you know what type of image or message you project?
Do you inspire others to be like you or to have what you have?
Our foundation is built on who and what we are,
Who and what we are is based on what we believe,
What we believe is based on what we put
into our mind and heart.
What we become and what we will have is based
not only on what we believe but also on what we speak.
God tells us to build a firm foundation, to guard our mind, heart and our words.So that when the storms of life hit,even though we might be shaken...we will not fall!

It' A New Day
Sometimes when things fall apart or end,
A person can seem to come apart or unravel,
They get stuck in a place and either are unaware
or fear holds them there.
Think of what is lost by not moving on,
The things you miss out on,
The experiences you never have,
The joy you never feel,
The chance at happiness that escapes you,
The people you never meet or get close to,
The places you never travel to.
Why?
All because you were once hurt,
So you now refuse to live,
So you place yourself in your own
man made coffin of fear and distrust.
What a sad and lonely place to be in.
Why not call it a new day?
Why not look to God the miracle maker and
ask Him to help you out.
Why not place your trust in God?
Why not take a shot at happiness?

Crazy Hope
When all seems lost,
And you see no hint of hope,
When it seems that every door is shut,
Nothing is working out,
and everyone has given up.
Yet something deep within you cries out,
Telling not to give up,
It tells you to trust and believe,
To pray and look to God.
So against all odds,
Againgst all beliefs you have ever had.
Against every stronghold and ostatcle,
You take a stand.
It is you and God,
against all the circumstances.
Something deep inside you rises up,
You dare to see it, to believe it,
And then you declare it.
You wait,
And with that crazy hope,
You expect.
And you see no hint of hope,
When it seems that every door is shut,
Nothing is working out,
and everyone has given up.
Yet something deep within you cries out,
Telling not to give up,
It tells you to trust and believe,
To pray and look to God.
So against all odds,
Againgst all beliefs you have ever had.
Against every stronghold and ostatcle,
You take a stand.
It is you and God,
against all the circumstances.
Something deep inside you rises up,
You dare to see it, to believe it,
And then you declare it.
You wait,
And with that crazy hope,
You expect.
