Our Problems Are God's Opportunities.

I Can't Do Anything About My Past, But I Can Do A Lot To Cooperate With My Destiny. I Am Re-created In Christ Jesus, Born Anew, That I Might Do The Good Works That He Laid Out For Me And Live The Good Life.

God Doesn't Love Me Any More Or Less Because I Had Some Work Done On My Face. You Know, I Prayed About It A Long, Long, Long, Long, Long Time, Because There Again, I Wouldn't Want To Do Anything That I Felt Was Going To Be Offensive To God.

There Is Absolutely No Power In Our Human Effort To Live Holy. It Is Only By His Grace. And The Result Of Receiving Grace Is We Get Better At Living Like Christ, Which Is Something We All Want, Right?

Anytime We Step Out Boldly To Make Changes, We Take A Chance That We Might Fail. But The Only Way To Get Better Is To Try.

At School I Pretended I Had A Normal Life, But I Felt Lonely All The Time And Different From Everyone Else. I Never Felt Like I Fit In, And I Wasn't Allowed To Participate In After-school Activities, Go To Sports Events Or Parties Or Date Boys. Many Times I Had To Make Up Stories About Why I Couldn't Do Anything With My Classmates.
