You are the change…
You are the change you have been waiting for. No one else can ignite your world the way you can just by making a decision for your life and following through with it. Someone told me this week after denying a request of mine, “You have to make sure it’s worth it for you.” Basically,ContinueContinue reading “You are the change…”
Choose today…

God resists the proud
I’ve learned over the years that when I stand in my own importance, my own right, my own preferences at the detriment of another that the struggle with that person becomes intense and painful.
