LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF BREATHS WE TAKE BUT THE AMOUNT OF LIFE THAT TAKES OUR BREATH AWAY.
FALLING FORWARD
There are moments on this journey
If you ask me how I feel
It seems I'm moving backwards
Or at least just standing still
When I'm frozen in my failure
There's a whisper, "Don't forget
Your Redeemer somehow uses
Even what you most regret."
Step by step
Day by day
I'm completely undone
By the miracle of grace
And I'm amazed
Through it all
Even when I fall
I'm falling forward
Your open arms are waiting
Your compassion takes me in
I have tasted sweet forgiveness
There is strength to stand again
As I'm caught up in Your kindness
Once again I find
In Heaven's love there's always hope
For every heart like mine
I have tears for the compromise I've known
But even more for the mercy You have shown
And I'm amazed
Through it all
Even when I fall
I'm falling forward

THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE, THE PERSPECTIVE YOU SELECT, IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN YOU WAKE UP. IT'S YOURS TO DECIDE. CHOOSE WISELY....
This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be good.
This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could
read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be
just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't
like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another
look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude
remarks.

Ever find the words that cut to the core of who you are? Here's mine....
Go ahead and take your best shot
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before
I may stumble, yeah I might fall
I'm only human, but aren't we all
I might lose my way, but hear me when I say
I will stand back up
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough
But I'll stand back up
I've been beaten up and bruised
I've been kicked right off my shoes
Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe
When the darkness tries to get me
There's a Light that just won't let me
It might take my pride and tears may fill my eyes
But I'll stand back up
I've weathered all these storms but I just turn them into wind so I can fly
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
When I take my last breath that's when I'll just give up
So, go ahead and take your best shot
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got
You might win this round, but you can't keep me down
'Cause I'll stand back up
And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough
But I'll stand back up
I GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT NOW! NOT!
With rules like these, no wonder God HAD to make women.
The Guys' "Rules"
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's
what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect
us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the
ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer
you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
fine... Really
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
discuss such topics as baseball, the .............. formation, or golf.
