Stronger Than Ever
I'm glad that I am where I am today! It's great to be alive and healthy! Today I'm thanking the Lord for the things in life that most people take for granted. I thank Him for life! I thank Him for the ability to get out of my bed without assistance. I'm thanking Him for allowing me to be in my right mind! I'm thanking Him for keeping me when I didn't want to be kept! I'm thanking Him for giving me shelter and food. I'm thanking Him for the foundation that I was given in the home. I'm thanking Him for my parents. You see, it's easy to overlook these things but I couldn't help but mention them as I took time to reflect over how far I've come on this journey. This journey hasn't been a bed of roses. There have been days when I've wanted to throw in the towel and go back where I came from.
Over the past few weeks I've been dealing with tremendous frustration. Why? Because I've been looking at my current situations and have been entertaining seeds of doubt and discouragement! If you're in the same boat, do what I had to do, see yourself coming out of the situation! It's hard, but it's something that you have to do. Remember, death and life is in the power of the tongue, so when you begin to speak doubt and allow frustration to overtake you you end up delaying the promise that God has for you. In all actuality, God allows you to struggle through some of these issues, not to kill you, but to make you stronger! Because in the final analysis, He wants to you come through the drama stronger than ever!
Isn't that amazing? 2005 was a horrible year in my eyes, but in God's eyes, He sees 2005 as one of my brightest because it was the hell, trials, and tribulations that I went through that got me to where I am today! So, really, when I think about it, 2005 was ordained by God to bring me closer to destiny! You see, my perception of 2005 just changed because I kept it real with you and didn't try to sugar coat anything about what I've been dealing with. For some of you reading this, it's been hard these past few days, weeks, and months because it doesn't look like anything is changing! I challenge you to get a different perspective today! Not tomorrow or next week, TODAY! Tell your situation to go to hell! You don't have to stay where you are! Remember, you endured the tests and trials because God ordained for you to come through STRONGER THAN EVER!

THANK YOU POPS !!!!!!!
POINT WELL TAKEN
That's a hot posting. I can definately relate to the fact that the power of life is in the tongue. The year 2005 proved itself to be a year for the tongue and the mind. These two things if applied simultaneously, with wisdom and knowledge can bring life into your soul beyond belief. I can testify to that as well as my family and friends. Thanks for your inspiration. Keep up the good work.

2005 brought me to this conclsuion, that me living my will ws just too damn hard - but I too, thank Him for everything I endured because now i can say that I have proof that perseverance is is key to the gold making process. In other words, it was all necessary for my making - every last gut-wrenching, migraine induced episode of it! I declared at the turn of this year just what you suggested - I gave God my will in exchange for His - and His is by far a lot easier to live!! I see my future and it looks better than ever - because I am stronger than ever!!!!!
