On My Mind!

The following poem has been on my mind lately. I can definitely relate to the words that the author wrote. The words that have been standing out the most is I Rise and it's a reminder to me that no matter what I may go through it is only going to cause me to be better so much better because Greater is He who lives in me than he who lives in the world. I don't need to be afraid or dismayed but know that what the devil meant for evil God is working ALL together for GOOD. My name is VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still I Rise You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broke

God Is Good!!!

Life is filled with ups and downs but one thing still remains the same -- God is Good! Life can be filled with so much pain but we can be assured that joy comes in the morning! Life can be strange sometimes but we know that all things work together for good! Life can be bitter sometimes but we know that God is sweeter than the honey comb! Life can throw you curve balls sometimes but we know that God remains the same -- He never changes! Life can seem confusing at times but we know that God is not the Author of confusion and He who began a good work in you will continue to perform it until the day of Christ Jesus. Life can seem too difficult to live at times but we know that His yoke is easy and His burdens are light. Life can make you want to give up sometimes but we know that we shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord and he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty God.

I Like These C.S. Lewis Quotes!

1) “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world” 2)"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." 3) "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." 4) "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning." 5) " If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair." 6) "If you read history you will

A Challenge In My Thinking Is Changing My Perspective!

Have you ever set standard(s) for yourself that you thought were easy to attain and anyone should be able to live up to them but then you found out that not even you can live up to your own standard(s)? What do you do? Do you allow truth to come in so you can see the error of your ways and apply truth to correct it or lie to yourself and stay in a state of deception. My point here is not so much that it's wrong to have standards but where did they come from? Are they coming from God, His Word, and His principles. Or are they standards born out of shame, guilt, hurt, and pain. If it's the latter then your standards will always reproduce what it was birth from i.e. hurt, pain, death, guilt, shame, etc... If it's the former then it will bring forth life, health, liberty, peace, joy, happiness and all things good. Don't be a victim! Be a Victor and an Overcomer!!! The Word is always True: Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are
