Listen to the whispers of your Heart

 

 

 

Why wish upon a star, when you can pray to the one who created them.

 

 

The Lord places no limits on our access to Him.

"Turn your wounds into wisdom"

 

Oprah Winfrey

 

 

There is much I do not know about God,

but what I know has changed my Life.

 

 

Take a deep breath. It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.

 

You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.

 

 

Don’t let negative thoughts rent space in your head.

Raise the rent & kick them out.

peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

"To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to,

 

something to motivate you, something to inspire you."

"Our refuge, our peace, our well-being lie in walking in the way of the Lord."

 

Gordon B. Hinckley

 

 

"Happiness is found only along that well beaten track, narrow as it is, though straight,

 

which leads to life eternal."

Blessed is she who believes that the Lord will fulfill His promises to Her.

 

 

 

"If you are not present in your life today, you will miss the joy as it happens."

 

Elaine Marshall

 

 

God not only sees where you are. He sees where you can be.

 

Beauty is in the eye of The Beholder

 

  

 

How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves.

 

 

"Know that God has a plan for your life. Turn your life over to him every day.

Stop looking outside yourself for validation and approval you're letting other people define your happiness.

Instead of trying so hard to manipulate life, take care of yourself on the inside.

Then all those other attributes you're so desperately seeking will find you eventually."
