A women's heart should be so hid in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.When I say.... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin' I'm whispering 'I was lost, now I'm found and foriven'. When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need christ to be my guide.When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on. When I say...'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.When I say...'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain... I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!- Maya Angelou -God's Garden is not really a place where flowers grow. It is a place where people grow. It is where all of us are right now. We are always in this garden from the time we are born until the time we die. Hopefully in life we will grow in the right direction and that direction is toward God. We are all here for the same reason. We are on our way home to God. Sometimes on this trip home we will grow slowly like a flower. Other times we will have to sprout and grow wings like a bird in order to fly there. Either way it will be a rough journey and growing is usually a pretty painful process. Our lives here are not about what we are going to get. Our lives here are about what we are going to give. And not about the love we received but the love that we gave."To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something new...'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' God's grace allows you to go places you never thought possible....
