There is one election going on all the time—the Lord [Jesus Christ] votes for you and Satan votes against you, and you must cast the deciding vote.--Author Unknown

I love this picture. I have never seen it before. I came across it on www.pinterest.com. Usually, when I type in armor of God into the search engine, it has pictures of people praying and reading scripture. I don't know who the artist is, but I thank them! This is a treat.

Maybe the strait and narrow would not be so strait and narrow if more people used it.--Author Unknown

All right, when I read this quote, I can't help but think of this Greg Olsen painting "Be Not Afraid." It is one of my favorite paintings of his. I got this photo off the web by going to www.gregolsen.com/artwork.

I found my treasure trove of quotes. I thought I had lost them. So now I will be adding them. Be prepared to learn and grow and be entertained! :)

I can only imagine. It is not enough to have a dream, unless you are willing to pursue it. It is not enough to know what is right, unless you are strong enough to do it. It is not enough to learn the truth, unless you also learn to live it.--Author Unknown

Tell me I can't do it. Tell me I shouldn't even try. Tell me it's impossible. Tell me the risk is too high, the challenge too much, or the feat too tough. Tell me that I won't do it. And I will!

"I have always, essentially, been waiting. Waiting to become something else, waiting to be that person I always thought I was on the verge of becoming, waiting for that life I thought I would have. In my head, I was always one step away. In high school, I was biding my time until I could become the college version of myself, the one my mind could see so clearly. In college, the post-college “adult” person was always looming in front of me, smarter, stronger, more organized. Then the married person, then the person I’d become when we have kids. For twenty years, literally, I have waited to become the thin version of myself, because that’s when life will really begin. And through all that waiting, here I am. My life is passing, day by day, and I am waiting for it to start. I am waiting for that time, that person, that event when my life will finally begin. I love movies about “The Big Moment” – the game or the performance or the wedding day or the record deal, the stories that split time with that key event, and everything is reframed, before it and after it, because it has changed everything. I have always wanted this movie-worthy event, something that will change everything and grab me out of this waiting game into the whirlwind in front of me. I cry and cry at these movies, because I am still waiting for my own big moment. I had visions of life as an adventure, a thing to be celebrated and experienced, but all I was doing was going to work and coming home, and that wasn’t what it looked like in the movies. John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” For me, life is what was happening while I was busy waiting for my big moment. I was ready for it and believed that the rest of my life would fade into the background, and that my big moment would carry me through life like a lifeboat. The Big Moment, unfortunately, is an urban myth. Some people have them, in a sense, when they win the Heisman or become the next American Idol. But even that football player or that singer is living a life made up of more than that one moment. Life is a collection of a million, billion moments, tiny little moments and choices, like a handful of luminous, glowing pearl. It takes so much time, and so much work, and those beads and moments are so small, and so much less fabulous and dramatic than the movies. But this is what I’m finding, in glimpses and flashes: this is it. This is it, in the best possible way. That thing I’m waiting for, that adventure, that move-score-worthy experience unfolding gracefully. This is it. Normal, daily life ticking by on our streets and sidewalks, in our houses and apartments, in our beds and at our dinner tables, in our dreams and prayers and fights and secrets – this pedestrian life is the most precious thing any of use will ever experience."

Not everyone is going to love you the way you want them to love you. Not everyone is going to care about you the same way you care about them. There will be someone in your life that will turn around & walk away. This is beyond your control. As sad as it is, this is reality. If they choose to walk away from you, let them. Nothing you can say or do is going to change their mind. All you can do is move on. Don't dwell on the whoulda, shoulda, coulda's. Yes it will be tough, and yes it hurts, but remember it was their choice not yours. If someone wants you in their life, they will find time for you. You can't control what is beyond your control.

I have no idea who wrote it or said it. I found it on facebook. But I still need its gentle reminder. Enjoy!

Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should. And let go of what you can't change. Love deeply & forgive quickly. Take chances & give your everything. Life is too short to be anything but happy. You have to take the good with the bad. Love what you have. Always remember what you had. Forgive & forget. And always remember.. that life goes on.
