What I've Learned



1. Feed your faith and all of your doubts will starve to death.

2.No matter how high in life you get, there is always one more tier higher you want to go! (or at least you should!)

3.In eating and drinking as in life, it's better to finish something off than to leave it hanging around.

4.Setting limitations for yourself isn't weakness...it's maturity!

5.Whenever something bad happens or is happening to me..I always say- "One day you'll look back at this and laugh." So far, I've been right!

6.Ever notice how everybody is just having sex until they either fall in love or get married...then it's called "making love"?

7.You gotta trust somebody.

8.You really don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!

9.Every Man Needs an Arena.....Blogging has become mine.

10. Work Hard, so you won't feel guilty when you're playin hard!

Peace!

Yes and I've learned a lot of those things as well. My disagreement is with #3. I, like you, was raised to eat "everything on the plate." Full or not, we ate it all. Granted, it was home cooked food, balanced with meat, vegetables and grain (we had rice too often.) But all that "clean your plate" resulted in our battle with weight throughout our adult lives. Count how many of us are dealing with high blood pressure or the onset of diabetes?
Leave something on the plate!!!




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
