I've kind of reached a point where I'm tired of tip toeing through life trying to live up to others' expectations of me. That's no fun and I've never been the type to fit into a mold instead I've always kind of been the one to break the mold. Lately, I've been playing life too safe. Haven't been living. Just waking up being thoroughly routine. You know....class...work...home...sleep and everyday it's the same. There's def no excitement in that. So I finally realized that I've reached the end of being a bore. I'm starting to live. Come with?

On this day of your life, April, we believe God wants you to know ... that what you are most afraid of is where your greatest rewards are. | |
 | If all you had to do was wish for something and you would have it, life would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? God placed barriers between us and what we want, so we can enjoy interesting and satisfying lives. God hid our biggest rewards behind the highest barriers - our deepest fears. God wants us to face our fears, and hold ground in their presence, and let them go, and that's how we get out biggest rewards. What are you most afraid of? Say it, just start by saying it. |
Faithful is our GOD.
I wonder why it's so easy for us to trust man but we're rather reluctant to trust God who has always promised to never leave or forsake us. We meet someone - give them a few days, maybe months to build up trust and we're all willy nilly - this person will never leave me, never let me down, never this or never that but with God - it's like we have this reluctance to give everything when he's been solid from day one. He's promised us abundance if we just give him ourselves but that's so hard. Acts 5:29, says that we ought to trust God rather than man. Man WILL let you down. WILL leave you. God won't. If we truly understood how magnificent God is we'll follow him, trust him, and love him with our whole hearts, our whole being....

❝ We should hold ourselves accountable for not demanding a higher standard of excellence. We reward the mediocre. Maybe that’s an issue with ourselves, being drawn to mediocrity because its relatable, for people feeling mediocre. In that case, step up your own excellence and then want it to be reflected in all around you. ❞

“One day you’re going to want that guy.. The guy that believed the scraps of you that he was given were worth it, because something was better than nothing. That guy that wanted nothing more than to be there for you, and loving you was the only way he could. The guy who sees your flaws but values them as much as your strengths. That guy who still can’t bring himself to hate you, even though sometimes you probably deserve it. That guy who saw past your pretty eyes and treasured parts of you that no one else has ever appreciated. The guy who realizes he may never have your heart, but will carry the image of you in his forever. The guy that sees this and still loves you. The guy that should have you, but doesn’t, even though he deserves it. But by the time you realize all of this, he is going to be gone, and you will never have her wrapped around your finger like you used to.”
John Lennon.
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."

I love a man with a quiet confidence about himself. Nothing flashy or showy. He has nothing to prove to the world, but EVERYTHING to prove to God.
