"I Dare You to Reach
Your Full Potential"
Debra Lake


“When we become aware that we do not have to escape our pains, but that we can mobilize them into a common search for life,
those very pains are transformed from expressions of despair
into signs of hope.”
Henri Nouwen

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, but He shouts to us in our pain. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”

C. S. Lewis.


"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, But in rising every time
we fall."
Confucius.


I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches.
If suffering alone taught,
all the world would be wise,
since everyone suffers.
To suffering must
be added mourning,
understanding, patience,
love, openness,
and a willingness to remain vulnerable.
~Anne Morrow Lindbergh


“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” --Albert Einstein


If you could kick the person responsible for most of your troubles, you would not be able to sit down for six months


Be the change you want to
see in the world.
~Mahatma Gandhi


Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead, where there is no path, and leave a trail....Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself. Our world is hungry for genuinely changed people" (Leo Tolstoy).


Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear...
an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring...
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
~Leo Buscaglia


Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
Jesus of Nazareth


There is in all visible things...a hidden wholeness.
~Thomas Merton


We often fear being rejected so very much that we reject
ourselves first before anyone else has the chance. 
Anon



Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
Audrey Hepburn



"To Embroden Yourself, Associate with Bold People."
Randy Gage


If I accept the sunshine
and warmth,
then I must also accept
the thunder and lightning.
-Kahlil Gibran


"I can do All things through
Christ which/who Strengthens/Empowers Me!"
Philippians 4:13




"Risk more than others think is safe.  Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical.  Expect more than others think is possible"




When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found.
Sufi Proverb



"It is wise to take care of your body, it is the only home it's got."


It is not necessary to deny another's reality
in order to affirm your own.
~Anne Wilson Schaef



"Going to Church makes you a Christian
Just as much as going to
McDonald's
makes you a hamburger."




"Are you Working to Live or
Living to Work?"

"There are only two ways to live your life: one is as though nothing is a miracle;the other is as though everything is a miracle."
Albert Einstein



"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life."

-- Billy Graham


Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.
It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth,
we transend it.
Once we truly know that life is difficult -
once we truly understand and accept it -
then life is no longer difficult.
Because once it is accepted,
the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
~M Scott Peck

"If you do not invest in You, Why should anyone else?"
Randy Gage


































I receive so many wonderful daily messages and need a place to put them all so I can go to one place and chew on what it is I need for the day! With the overwhelming amount of information coming at us, it is imperative that we all slow down and spend time with The Lord one on one. To spend time in His presence is the most important act of worship and is when we truly get fed. So I am dedicating these pages to messages that will bring encouragement, hope, stretching and growth not only for myself but for anyone who reads them. In our fast paced world remember to slow down and Rest in His arms where Time means nothing, He does not fit into a "time realm". This is what I am learning to do and want to teach others to do as well.  Be blessed <3
