This is for us:

Thank God for my shoes - they fit only me.

I woke up one day and I realised that there were many things about my life I was not satisfied with or better still, there were challenges that were threatening my soul.
And I said to myself, "Why should anyone envy me and want to be in my shoes." They don't know how far I've come, they don't know what lies ahead of me, and neither do they know how dissatisfied I get with myself from time to time.

People don't know the troubles that you've had or the price you had to pay to get to where you are. All they want to know is that they wish they were like you.

Why should you wish you were in anybody's shoes when you hardly know how they fit?

When you've worn your shoes for a while, they take the shape of your feet and align to the way you walk. If you were to wear my shoes, you will not be comfortable in them.

So I stopped wishing that I am in someone else shoes because it might not fit; rather I thank God for my shoes, because they fit!

I have learned to be the best in what I do, and I know no-one can replace me anywhere & in any sphere. I am an original; God is not in the cloning business, He makes originals.

Make the best of what you do; besides you have this beautiful life to live ONLY ONCE.
Live it to the fullest.

Another one! I promise that this will be the last one from me for this topic. This is part of a poem from Ilana Vanzant, born in Brooklyn New York.

Yesterday, I cried.
I cried because I hurt. I cried because I was hurting.
I cried because hurt has no place to go
except deeper into the pain that caused it in the first place,
and when it gets there, the hurt wakes you up.
I cried because it was too late.
I cried because it was time.
I cried because my soul knew that I didn't know
that my soul knew everything that I needed to know.
I cried a soulful cry yesterday, and it felt so good.
It felt so very, very bad.
In the midst of my crying,
I felt my freedom coming,
Because...

Yesterday, I cried
with an agenda.

Hi Daddysgirl, Gordon and all

At times the hurricanes of life seem to go on without seizing, at times the great pains of life seem to take pleasure in torturing you, you go to sleep and hope tomorrow is a better day, but Lo, and behold, comes tomorrow, more lemons get thrown your way, you experience pains, headaches and discover what it really means to hurt without end, you pray till you fall asleep, only to wake up and continue till you can't make out the words that come out of your mouth\mind\heart - you pray without seizing. Just whe you think it surely can't get any worse, well, guess what, it does!! everyone whom you helped and felt their pain during their time on need is NEVER there for you, no one returns calls, (amaizing how sometimes people you helped at some point in their life, turn to quickly forget when its your turn at the wheel - asking for help ! - but you bless them anyway, and soldier on, carrying your yoke with Christ), how soon some people turn to forget!! it amazes me!!  ;D people lose their common curtesy, oneday you wake up and it really HITS you, straight on your face, you REALLY are alone (not that there are no people,) but you really are alone - except for your faith and believe in God, many people do bail out, but no not you, you hang on even convince yourself that you are okay and then sometimes, just sometimes, you have this feeling that it really is not so bad (you tell yourself) - the fact that you are still here means there is hope, the fact that you continue breathing means there is hope. Expriences like these humbles and really changes your perspective in life, if you can lose all you have and still manage a smile and keep your head when all are losing theirs, then Paul really was speaking to you when he said; 1. Tim 6:

6. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 
7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10.  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through   with many sorrows.
 
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
 
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
 
I will pray for you...

Waves In An Ocean
From Tuesdays With Morrie By Mitch Albom

A little wave was bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air—until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore.

"My God, this is terrible," the wave says. "Look what's going to happen to me!"

Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, "Why do you look so sad?"

The first wave says, "You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't this terrible?"

The second wave says, "No, YOU don't understand. You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean."
