May this encourage you always.

Life is simply a matter of concentration:
you are what you set out to be.
You are a composite of the things you say, the books you read, the thoughts you
think, the company you keep, and the things you desire to become. B.C. Forbes


I received this as an email while I was deleting contacts and phone numbers in my cell. Not important numbers, but ones that I thought were important or useful at one time or another and I have moved on past that relationship to the point where I know I won't ever need to speak to these people for what ever reason. Anyway, check out the email...strange coincidence?

Don't spend major time with minor people. If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don't have your back during difficult times...that is not a friend.

To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with people who reflect values, goals interests and lifestyle.

When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to GOD from whom all blessings flow, and to my family ! and friends that enrich my life.

Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed for the better. At first you think you're going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.
Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together. If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens: Chickens Can't Fly!"

I love the Lord and thank Him for all that He does in my life, He is my source of existence. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things. Phil 4:13

Be Positive - Be Progressive - Take the time to make a positive difference in someone's life.

Walk by faith
Not by sight
