I make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. I don't act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants me to do. I don't get drunk with wine, because that will ruin my life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control me. If I listen to these commands of the Lord my God that He is giving me today, and if I carefully obey them, the Lord will make me the head and not the tail, and I will always be on top and never at the bottom. Staying away from the love of money; being satisfied with what I have. For God has said "I will never fail you. I will never forsake you." I don't use foul or abusive language. Letting everything I say be good and helpful, so that my words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And I am instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. I should live in this world with self-control, right conduct, and devotion to God. Since God chose me to be a holy people whom He loves, I most clothe myself with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. I must allowance for others faults and forgive the person who offends me. Remembering the Lord forgave me, so I must forgive others. And the most important piece of clothing I must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony. The words I say now reflect my fate then; either I will be justified by them or I will be condemned. But I belong to God; I have already won my fight with these false prophets, because the Spirit who lives in me is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. With these weapons I break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons I conquer their rebellious ideas, and I shall teach then to obey Christ. A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense. Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables. I pay attention to what he says. Listening carefully. Not losing sight of his words. Let them penetrate deep within my heart, for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers this meaning. I don't let anyone think less of me because I am young. Being an example to all believers in what I teach, in the way I live, in my love, my faith and my purity. Then all the nations of the world will see I am a person claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of me. What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can be against us? I don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Telling God what I need, and thanking him for all he has done. When the ways of myself please the Lord, he makes even my enemies live at peace with me. The Lord keeps watch over me as I come and go, both now and forever. He knows all the things I do, and He has opened a door for me that no one can shut. No evil will conquer me: no plague will come near my dwelling. For he orders his angels to protect me wherever I go. This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Isaiah, who said, "He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases." He is leaving me with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace he gives isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid. If I do this, I will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful then the human mind can understand. His peace will guard my heart and mind as I live in Christ Jesus.
I have a plan, I know where i'm going, I know were I will be in 5 years. Do you? whats 5 years look like to you?
Mine is to be in my own home, have a new car, adopt two boys that of the same age from Russia with cash, to have good money making investments, to work hard and get paid very well for the work I do. To also be debt free, and living very well off, to be able to give $200 more back to God each paycheck, to be able to be so blessed that my cup runs over to those around me so that I can be a blessing to them. And thats just my plan for the next 5 years, you should see my plan after that! God is good, ALL the time!UPDATE: MY FIVE YEAR PLAN IN NOW DONE TO FOUR YEARS!!!!! WOW, HOW TIME FLYS!

Just A ThoughtThe Woman Came Out Of A Man's Rib. Not From His Feet To Be Walked On. Not From His Head To Be Superior, But From The Side To Be Equal. Under The Arm To Be Protected, And Next To The Heart To Be Loved.My life is mine. If you don't agree with my lifestyle thats ok, I don't always agree with others either, BUT I do ask for respect, just like I would give you.
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past theres a reason why they didn't make it to your future!
