faith

"now faith is the substance of things heard of, the evidence of things unseen." Hebrews 11:1 the BIBLE teaches that "if you have faith as a mustered seed, you can move mountains." faith is the foundation of what we live by. if we do not have faith in GOD and the power that only HE has and only HE can offer, what good is having faith in something at all?? faith is having courage to believe in something that one can not see, faith is having the courage to believe in something that is not tangible, faith is having courage to believe that GOD is preparing a place for us in HEAVEN and someday we will be dwelling with HIM forever! but until one has faith, one can never see the exciting, thrilling, unfathomable GOD that deserves to be worshiped everyday of our lives. "faith is the SUBSTANCE of things HEARD OF,the EVIDENCE of things UNSEEN."

i cant

growing up these two words were not allowed to be in my vocabulary. the words "i cant" were not allowed to come out of my mouth, especially being a little daddy's girl athlete. if i ever used those two words together in the same sentence, my dad would give me the look and he would make me try even harder to succeed. even though at the time i did not understand why my dad would push me so hard to train and be good at sports, i realize now that he trained me and pushed me because he knew that i could be good. the words "i cant" in a sentence are not used by me that often because when they are i picture my father's face and him saying, "i do not know those words, keep going." now there is a saying that i like to use, "i can because i want to, and i want to because you said i cant."

good enough

have you ever felt like nothing that you ever do is good enough?
that no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you push yourself, no matter how much pain you are in; it still does not matter because you are not good enough. no matter how pretty you are, no matter how skinny you are, no matter how you dress; it still is not good enough. no matter how athletic you are, no matter the skill you obtain, no matter how much practice you put in, no matter all the sweat and tears; your still not good enough.

remember this "if God is for you, who can be against you." romans 8:31
