Things I have learned. I fall down and I get right back up again. I make a mistake, I let it go and keep moving forward. I know right from wrong. I take responsibility for my actions. I do not blame others because of the way my life turned out. I do not expect a free hand in life. I have learned the journey to success is hard work, being persistent, and never giving up. I have faith that when life is overwhelming, it will work out, no matter how hard life gets, because God is with me and with God on my side I will make it. Isaiah 43:1-3a tells us, “But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One…your Savior.” God is there, He is always there—we just have to learn to rely upon Him and trust Him and be accountable for our actions. Making the most out of every moment of everyday, because there are no re-do’s! Quit blaming others. Take responsibility for your life! God Bless. Amen.
