GOALS

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Special Stuff

"Nothing that is not part of God's will is allowed to come into the life of someone who trusts and obeys Him. This truth should be enough to make our life one of ceaseless thanksgiving and joy, because God's will is the most hopeful, pleasant, and glorious thing in the world. It is the continous working of His omnipotent power for our benefit, with nothing to prevent it, if we remain surrendered and believing."

L.B. Cowman, Streams In The Desert, p.310

Human

"I lay there under the stars and thought of what a great
responsibility it is to be human.
I am a human because God made me.
I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me.
I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His
precepts that I might be preserved."
Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz (p.101)
