We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... We must do that which we think we cannot. - Eleanor Roosevelt
This poignant line captures my thoughts essentially as of late. It is my resolve to be daring, to pursue my goals with passion and to hand over the reins of my life to the only one who can successfully master them--GOD!! It really is a nice feeling; knowing that there are uncharted paths for me to tread. I like knowing that I have God in front and behind me (like He did with the Children of Israel), directing the steps I take and helping me to learn from the mistakes I make (hey I rhymed!! ).
I am determined to release my fears of the future, my fears of people's opinions and my fears of my own greatness. i am well able to pass statistics next semester :) and I am well able to shine like never before. Yeah so I am well on my way to a God-filled destiny. I'm not backing down, I'm not in the frame of mind to accept defeat because I have so much to live for. (slipping into a little Jamaican jargon)...A ME SEH SELF-DISCIPLINE AN DETERMINATION...A ME SEH CHRISTAIN SWAGG!!!
Verse of the Day
"The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity." 2 Cor. 10:3-6 MSG.
