i like this alot!! hahaha.. i got alot more to type but no time! home network not up yet!
When I say "I am a Christian"... I'm not shouting "I'm clean living!" I'm whispering, "I was lost; now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say "I am a Christian"... I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble, and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say "I am a Christian"... I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak, and need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say "I am a Christian"... I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed, and need God to clean my mess.
When I say "I am a Christian"... I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are far too visible; but God believes I am worth it.
When I say "I am a Christian"... I still feel the sting of pain, I have my share of heartaches, and so I call upon His name.
When I say "I am a Christian"... I'm not holier than thou. I'm just a simple sinner, who received God's good Grace, somehow.
*From: Charito Paruta, TWENTY TRUTHS TO REMEMBER
1. Faith is the ability to not panic.
2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
8. Dear God : I have a problem. It's me.
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people.
12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it, otherwise it's just hear say.
18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again.
Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage.
The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk- taking.
Learn from the turtle -- it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.
