Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run  with perseverance  the race marked out for us,     fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer  and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,  scorning its shame,  and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.     Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary  and lose heart. (Caleb and Nana:-) God Bless! KathieyV

Take a minute to watch this short video by Jason Gray.  He shares his thoughts on divorce and that we can "rise" after the trauma of this life-changing event. "The initiative against despair is to rise and do the next thing". Oswald Chambers We may not understand why some things happen in our lives.  Some of these things may seem impossible but guess what?  God still has a purpose for us, and we can "rise and do the next thing."   For I know the plans  I have for you,” declares the  Lord , “plans to prosper  you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11  (NIV) Thank You God!

My mom was an incredibly generous person.  I can remember her giving her time and money to various groups.  I remember going door to door with Mom collecting money for the American Heart Association; we spent hours working with the Special Olympics.  She had a special place in her heart for a group called Boys Town.  I have one of her bookmarks from this group and I would like to share the quote with you. "Dear Lord, I have been very hard on myself.  I make demands on myself which are too harsh. I judge myself too severely. I have put myself down too often. That is how I grew up.  That is how I was taught. Dear Lord, I am now putting myself in Your presence. I am one with You God as well as with others. I am not going to beat up on myself or others anymore. I am now experiencing being cared for and guided by You God. Dear Lord, please heal my soul, mind, and body and those of all people. I rest in Your peace and healing today and ...

I am always looking for quotes.  Quotes from famous people, from the homeless on the street just trying to survive, and all of us in-between just trying to make sense of life.  I was watching The Biggest Loser on Hulu,  the people on this show face a difficult challenge.  They are attempting to lose a lot of weight and make a difficult lifestyle change.  It's tough because when you reach what seems like an impossible point in your life, it is hard to crawl back to the top again.  It is pretty much the same with an unwanted life event.  It could be a health issue, the loss of a job, the death of a loved one or in my case an unwarranted and unnecessary separation and divorce.  Suddenly your life plans and goals and dreams are shattered.  You find yourself confused not knowing how to pull yourself up again.  Some feel there is no use in trying to improve the situation because you see it as impossible.
