"Take the time to laugh so hard that you cry." by Me
"If you feel like crying then do. It's God's way of helping you cleanse." by Me
"Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words hurt worse than anything so be careful what you say to others because bones heal, feelings, not always." (first part by ? and the last part by Me)
Can anyone tell me why most of us care so much about what other people think? Why do we think these 'other people' have the right to dictate how we should feel about ourselves? Why do we let these 'other people' rule our feelings? Shouldn't we all just live our lives the way we truly want to and not change because someone thinks the way we are doing things is weird? I believe that the only authority that we should be listening to is God. If we don't go against Him, then we are doing great, no matter what anyone else may think. Just be yourself and if those 'other people' don't like it, then so be it! You will be more happy with yourself in the long run and that's what really matters.

"Don't let things that won't matter to you tomorrow take away your smile today." by ?
"Life is made up of the choices you make. If you don't like your life, then make different choices." by Me
"If you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you?" by Me
I believe that everyday is a new beginning. Full of all sorts of possibilities. Each new day is a clean piece of paper waiting for you to create a beautiful masterpiece. The masterpiece may be a song, a story, a poem, a drawing, or some other wonderful idea that God has put into your head. It also may be that first step that you take to making your dreams come true. Whatever it is, it is waiting for you to discover it, acknowledge it, and do something about it. Each day can be a new beginning for you, a clean piece of paper to create a beautiful masterpiece, if you desire it to be. I hope you do. Take care and God bless!
Love,

"Everyone has their own breaking point. Just because yours may not be the same as someone elses, doesn't make you any better or worse than they are." by Me
"Sometimes, to get the person that you love to do the things for you that you'd like them to do for you, you need to do those things for them first." by Me
"When it comes to kids, 'Do as I say, not as I do' just doesn't work." by ?
I figure if God puts me in a certain situation or He puts me in the company of certain people then there's probably a very good reason for it, even if I am not the most comfortable, but, as I said before, a person isn't always put into a situation for their benefit. God may put us in some uncomfortable situations so our company can benefit someone else. Who are we to question God?

"Be the type of person that when you wake up the Devel says, "Oh crap he's/she's up!" by ?
"Remember to 'ASAP'. (always say a prayer) by ?
"If you don't just be yourself with someone and they fall in love with you, just know that they aren't really in love with you. They are in love with the fictional character you made yourself out to be." by Me
I am one of those people that pretty much thanks God for everything. Even the littlest of things such as remembering to do things or crazy things like thanking him for not letting the toilet over-flow. Yes, I know that may sound silly, but it's true. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Whether it's to test our faith, teach us some sort of lesson, strenghthen our beliefs, or just get us to believe period. Even though sometimes we may question God, just always know that He knows what He's doing, even if we don't. My faith in God and my belief in him are very profound. He has made his presence known too many times in my life for me not to believe and for me not to have faith. Some people may say, 'well he doesn't love me because he has done absolutely nothing for me. Look how crapy my life is.' This is all I have to ask you 'do you have faith and do you believe?' There's a line from a movie that would fit what I am trying to get at, granted it's from the movie 'Santa Claus', but the line pertains to God also. The line is this, 'Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing.' If you don't believe and you don't have faith you aren't going to see God working in your life. Try being a 'glass half full' type of person for a day and see what you can see. What I mean is, instead of looking at all the negatives that happen in your day, look for every good thing. Even if it's just the toilet not over-flowing. You will find what you are looking for I promise you because if you are looking for something you will usually find it whether what you are looking for are all the negatives or all the positives. Take care and God bless!
Love,

"If the someone whom you are with doesn't make you feel good about yourself, then you are probably with the wrong person." by Me
"When you are put into a situation you may not be in that situation for you. You may be there for someone els." by Me
"It's not where you've been that matters. It's where you're going." by ?
I try not to get to upset when I am running late, for whatever reason, or when I forget to do something because, if I was not supposed to run late or I was supposed to remember certain things, then God would have helped me do it. I believe when you are running late or you don't remember something, God has a good reason for not helping you get out the door sooner or help you remember those certain things. I believe that it's one of his many ways that He is looking out for you.

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It just means that you've decided to see beyond the imperfections." by (idk)
"If the wind blows a wrinkle in your cloth, don't be angry with nature. For it is only God letting you know that you are bringing darkness to others." by Me
"Be beautiful for you because if you try to be beautiful for others you will never feel beautiful because everyone has their own idea of what is beautiful." by Me
Those are just a few inspirational quotes to brighten your day and make you think.
Do you ever have those moments where you know God stepped in, took you by the hand, and walked you through those particular moments in your life? I like to call those moments 'God Moments'. Now, truthfully, I don't remember whether someone told me about 'God Moments' or if I came up with it on my own. I have used it to describe different moments in my life, that I know were God's doing, for so long that I can't remember. Either way, that's what I call them now. Anyway, I want to tell you about a 'God Moment' that I had just last week. There had been some things that had been stressing me out about my job. So much so that I didn't even want to go to work. On this particular day I was sitting in my car outside my work on the verge of crying because I didn't really want to go into work. Now, it really wasn't because I didn't like my job, because I really do, but there were just some things about it that were worrying me. I had been doing a lot of praying about this. As I was waiting in my car I turned on my radio and 'Smile' by Uncle Kracker came on and my tears broke free because I believed that God was telling me that he was answering my prayers. I believed that He was telling me to 'smile' and that everything was going to be alright. I was right! I had a great day at work and have every day since then.
One thing that I know that I sometimes forget, and most people do, is the fact that things will happen in God's time, not in ours, and so we get impatient. Not that we necessarily mean to. We just do. Sometimes though people get so impatient with God that they give up on him and think that He doesn't care about them or love them. This is so not true! God always knows what is best for us. We just need to have a little faith. Now, if you are one of those people that gets impatient and lacks faith, read the lyrics to the song 'Have a Little Faith in Me' written by John Hiatt and pretend that it is God speaking (or singing if you listen to the link I provided) to you.
Well, that's all I have for right now. I will post later. I hope that everyone has a glass-overflowing-day! Remember to 'smile'! Take care and God bless!
Love,
nmCarey
