Title: If you could be a motto what would you be?
Post by: rrammfcitktturjsp on January 22, 2007, 05:22:00 AM
To All,

  I was wondering tonight what motto best describes where I am.  I was wondering this thought as I was drifting off to sleep tonight.  Well as evidenced by this topic, I had to come and post it and see what could come of it.

  The question is, if you could think of a motto or more than one that would describe where you are, what would you be.

  There are 2 mottos that describe where I am for now.

  1.  Above all else, to thine own self be true
  2.  And the Litany of Fear from the Dune Series
   
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain. 


  Look forward to your responses.  See you later.


  Sincerely,




  Anne C. McGuire

I guess if I had to be a motto, I would just as soon be a juicy Red ta-motto.

Love in Christ

Hi Anne,
A description of where I am at, as a motto.......thats a tough one....I'm on the right path, but a motto for if I'll get there would be   " It won't happen over night but it will happen "

God LOVE You

John,

  That reminds me of something said last night by my husband.  He said he is a WIP, a work in progress.

  I too well can relate to this one.

  Sincerely,

I love those 3 A's.

As a teacher this has always been mine: 

          IT IS EASIER TO SAY I'M SORRY    THAN IT IS TO ASK PERMISSION!~

Gena,
Not to be lude here, but, while I was in the Persian gulf, a Doctor that I had known  and worked along side of had come up to me and spoke to me that same statement that you just quoted.  It took me a couple of seconds for it to sink in as to what he was saying, which I had never heard before then; lets' just say that he never asked me again!  ;)

I like that Arcturus! It's catchy. "Don't borrow sorrow from tomorrow!"

So true, for today has enough trouble of it's own!

My new motto is:
It's All Good!

Even when it hurts!

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

It's about surrendering to the process of His work in me. It helps to say it when things are going bad. "It's All Good!"
It helps ease my aching soul.

To add on to what you observe Paula


Matt 6 : 34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

This has been a hard lesson that revealed itself to me over a period of intense worries about the future. The pressure got so great as to cause me to get into the moment just to keep sane. Then, like Jesus walking on the water, help came out of the pressure as I began to see through the pressure that there are and that I should have been  recognizing the blessings of God in the now, one day at a time! The experience gave me eyes to see the usually invisible and taken for granted blessings that were then made visible. I was given eyes to see Gods abundant and daily blessings that are caught in appreciation and gratitude for HIM regardless of circumstances.  It was a precious lesson and experience brought through much pain and suffering. Rather like a diamond that is actually just a piece of black coal that turns into a diamond under great pressure that the earth exerts over a period of extended time to produce the diamond that boasts the highest level and ability to refract light than any other material on the earth.

We are all black coal in transformation I think as we are brought to understand and experience,

2 Cor 12 : 9 And He said to me, My grace, My favor and loving kindness and mercy is enough for you, sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully; for My strength and power are made perfect, fulfilled completed and show themselves most effective in your weakness. Therefore I will all the more gladly glory in  my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ  may rest, yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell upon me!



Peace to you
