1.    Are you trying to please people or God? If you are trying to please the people around you, more times than not you will fail because you’re trying to hit a moving target. But, when you look up and want to please God then no matter how impossible the situation looks He will place strong Will in your heart so you never give up and are able to achieve what He needs you to achieve.

2.    Who are you? What defines you? Many have lost their identity because the Truth of who they are and who they were born to be has been defined by the influence of the world. What I mean is they are doing what they are doing because they are trying to live up to an image for someone else, they are in a career that was chosen based on what salary the degree would earn, or they are a product of their environment (primarily family influence) that has told them who they are or who they should be. The current society is quick to look to the world for answers of who they are so the world then molds them into that image. It’s why they feel empty inside and walk around like zombies (dead inside with no Life). However, if you ask God “what is my purpose?” He will then mold us into His image step by step and restore our true identity. When you walk in your purpose, you have Life inside that no one can rob from you. What is your purpose?

Your title in the world doesn’t define you, your purpose does … find your purpose.

Many Blessings to you, with MUCH Love!!! :)

Baby New Year

By: Ammie L. Peters, 12/31/10

The current year cries in labor pains of all it has endured.

No looking back to gain a day, or making regrets fewer.

One year ago we each gave birth to a new and precious child.

Did we cherish the gift and hold it tight or ignore it for awhile?

Did we abandon it as we clung to days of past that will
never come again?

Or did we embrace the gift of what we were given and let a
life begin?

Did we greet each day with love and care nurturing it to
grow?

Or did we throw the baby out with the bath water, as the
saying goes.

The labor pains of looking back may seem too strong with
which to deal,

But here we are one year later not believing it is real.

Time turns its back and slips through cracks not missing us
– not even for a minute,

But yet all we can do is sit and wish we only had more of it
so we can finish!

Finish what? I ask. The project list and things we think that
we must do?

Did you give birth to work and lists or did it just become a
part of you?

Welcome the gift of each new birth with a thankful heart and
smile upon your face,

Love, cherish and care for it never letting it out of your sweet
embrace.

You will then see the baby grow to bring you joy and peace making your heart content,

Because that’s the moment you understand the reason for
which it was sent.
