“Lord help me to do what I can and please go ahead to do what I can’t!”

"A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain"

"Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material." - Fitzgerald

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence" Mark Twain

I've been in a really tough place with the unthinkable happening to me. At first I asked why God me, how could this possibly happen to me? Now I've finally realized I should never ask why, but instead ask how. How can I learn from this, how can I change, and how can I use this experience to help others. It's not easy when you are faced with terrible situations but it's much harder when you don't let your past go and realize you can't fix yourself only God can. The only thing you can do as a person of God is to live in grace and embrace your second chance to do better this time around. 

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
   I have summoned you by name; you are mine. 
 When you pass through the waters,
   I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
   they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
   you will not be burned;
   the flames will not set you ablaze. 
For I am the LORD your God,

The moment I stopped caring what other people thought, the moment I truly became alive as me

"People in your life are seasons, and everything that happens is for a reason." Love the man who said this and love how true this is.. people change so much and so do you as a person.. But I love it.
