We all have our battles to fight, but some people are facing war.
A battle is a fight you may win or lose and still live.
But in a war, whether you fight or not, there's chance of death.
Remember that the next time you whine about something. The next time you think that you are the only one with problems in this world. The next time that you get angry at someone and refuse forgiveness or don't ask for it. The next time a selfish or hateful thought enters your mind about someone thats upset you. The next time you take your life or someone else, for granted.
Every breath is a gift from God. Pray for those that are fighting war, and thank God, our Savior, that it isn't you.

Life comes with choices. Choices come with consequences. If you don't like the consequences of your choices, you better suck it up and deal with it. Time does not stand still for anyone, it keeps moving right along. Remember, God gave us free will to choose our direction, not a free pass for an easy life.

Some days, are easier to deal with than others. Some days your best doesn't measure up to expectations. Some days, the communication gap is wide and difficult. Some days, judgements trump understanding. Some days, others doubt your ability, causing you to doubt yourself.
But at the end of those "somedays", you have to remember that you're not perfect. So, dry your tears, pull up your big girl bloomers, light a match and burn that bridge down. Afterwards, walk away with your head held high, knowing that you are enough, and surround yourself with those that know you are.
My family, my friends and my God, are my strength on "some days"

There are times that I am 'compelled' to help others, so I pray for guidance and direction. I lift it up to God, and I know when I am going in the right direction and when I'm not. Some time's the right direction seems to be the wrong one. Recently, I followed God's lead, but was lied to, taken advantage of and stolen from; yet I continued to trust God and try to help this person, to no avail. It made me question if I misunderstood God's guidance.
Today, I replayed all the events in my mind to see if I made a mistake. And then it hit me! I did all I was meant to do, to the best of my ability and it was all in God's plan. What I thought was MY failure to help this person, was actually HIS test for me. I prayed, I listened, I believed and I followed. I know that one day, I will reap the blessings of my faithful service to God.
