Trials and tribulations abound, but I’m forever grateful.

Scorned and rebuffed, but I’m still forever grateful.

Doubters say no, but God always says yes.

I am forever grateful.

Faith is the key.

God takes care of me.

Prayer keeps me centered.

I am forever grateful.

Despite life’s uncertainty, I am forever grateful.

No matter what’s in store.

I am forever grateful.

Looking forward to the future with eager anticipation.

I am forever grateful.

Appreciation

Life is filled with so many bountiful blessings.

We must show appreciation.

Even during all the hustle and bustle of every day life.

We must show appreciation.

God is always ever present and ready and willing to fulfill our every need.

We must show appreciation.

Life is also filled with trials.

We must always show appreciation.

Though it may never seem so, trials are intended to make us strong.

We must show appreciation.

God does so  much for us without asking for much in return.

We must show appreciation.

All That I am

I’ve been bullied and scorned, cheated and mistreated.

I still embrace all that I am.

I’ve been told that I’ll never be good enough for some.

I still embrace all that I am.

I’ve been told that I’ll never live up to the standards of others.

I still embrace all that I am.

From the tone of my skin to the shape of my hips and thighs.

I still embrace all that I am.

God didn’t make a mistake when he created me.

A purpose has been granted and will be  fulfilled.

I still embrace all that I am.

Despite what others may think, I still embrace all that I am.

I thank God for all that I am.

 

 

When Seasons Change

When seasons change, it signals the ending of one chapter and the beginning of another.

It means either growing or remaining stagnant.

It means stepping out of your comfort zone

It means being aware of how far you’ve come and how much further you have to go.

It means knowing that God is ever present.

It’s a sign that the life cycle continues as planned.

When seasons change, it means everything evolves just as God intended.

A Silent Prayer

Most gracious and heavenly father, I thank you.

I thank you for simply being God all by yourself.

I thank you for life, health, strength and blessings bestowed upon me.

I thank you for the trials that have made me strong.

I thank you for the triumphs that have made me who I am.

I thank you for the journey that has taught me what I’m capable of.

I thank you for your unconditional love.

I thank you for being my guiding light.

I thank you for the days you make bright.

I thank you for being my comforter.

I thank you for being a friend who brings everlasting peace.

Favor

Many times we miss the mark,  with God we still have favor.

We fall short of his glory, yet he picks us up and dusts us off,

We still have favor.

Through adversity.

Through uncertainty.

We have favor.

The devil will place obstacles in our way.

This happens every day.

We still have favor.

Life is what we make it.

God is always present to  help us.

We have favor.

No matter what naysayers say.

We have favor.

 

 

Strength

Strength is in not how much you can lift or carry.

Strength is in how much you persevere during adversity.

Strength is knowing God is always near.

Knowing that prayer will erase fear.

Strength is the power to forge ahead when uncertain about what’s next.
