My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me.
I do not choose the colors,
But God works steadily.

Often God weaves sorrow,
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget God sees the top
While I the underside.

Not until the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas
And explain the reasons why.

But, the dark threads are as needful
In the skillful weaver’s hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern God has planned.

at least we didn’t die;
so let us all be thankful.

Sometimes we forget that to say “Thank You” for the many blessings we have in our lives. However, when you open up you window shade and are presented with a gift like this, how can you forget? Thank you, Lord for blessing me, my family & my friends!!

The easier it is to [...]

I believe an entrepreneurial spirit is one that some people are born with, and  there are certain things that “just make sense.”
It’s a desire to be all that you can be and do the very best at what it is you do.  You’re not afraid to take chances, and you tend to be a leader [...]

“Making changes in your life is never an easy task. The key, however, is not to get caught up in the distance you have to go to get to where you want to be. Nor should you despair over the amount of control you have over your circumstances. Progress is made in the small, intentional [...]

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” ~  Winnie the Pooh
After a nice three-day weekend it’s nice to know that there’s time to rest and step back out the normal rat race of everyday life.  I hope you took some time to dwell on and appreciate what’s important in [...]
