Word Filled Wednseday

He has numbered my days...

“Before I formed you in your mother’s womb
I chose you.
Before you were born I set you apart..."

Indeed I am composed and quiet, like a young child carried by its mother

I will make you a fisher of men...

Suffer the little children to come unto me,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

When I was a child I thought as a child...

I will restore the years the wormwood has eaten.

The two shall become one...

I will create in you a new heart and a new mind the former things will all pass away...

You shall be called Mother of many...

For this thing He has promised you, he is faithful in fulfilling...

I will bring you into a new land....

I have come that you might have life...
and have life abundantly...

I am Glad I was born...
Today is my 48th birthday.

Like a vapor it passes
If by reason of strength 4 score and 20...
And yet it fades like the grass...

I have known you
I have called you by mane.

I have given you a new name...

Tenacious Vivacious White Raven.

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

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, 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!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
