Words of wisdom

Don't eat yellow snow

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

SNOW has come! I know there is a season for everything. But winter just seems soooo long! I'm looking forward to Spring. Planting my garden and enjoying being outside in the dirt. I'm thankful that God choose to put me down here in the country. I feel truly blessed. I know that I should be happy no matter where God puts me , But I'm happy it was here. The snow is beautiful. and I know it will soon be gone. So I will sit at the window and wait for spring to come!

"How to Reach Your Full Potential for God
Charles F Stanley

This is a book about never settling.
We look at Our lives and Who We are and
think 'I could never do that' or 'I wish I was more like Them'.
We under estimate Ourselves and Our God when we think that.
Just as God used Moses. A man slow of speech and of a slow tongue.
He can use you.
But we need to learn to to trust God. He knows far more about what
we are capable of than ourselves.
This book helps you learn the Essentials to see God's plan and the courage
to pursue your God given potential in the face of all challenges.
I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to know where God is
waiting to take them."
