Quotable Sunday

Today, I have decided to do quotes on Self Esteem/Worth.
God has really been working on regarding my self worth lately. So I figured why not just post some quotes & encourage myself at the same time.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

Albert Einstein

"The tragedy is that so many people look for self-confidence and self-respect everywhere except within themselves, and so they fail in their search."

Dr Nathaniel Branden

"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?"

Fanny Brice

"It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes."

Sally Field

"It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others."

Sidney J. Harris

"Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love" John 15:9

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14

Quotable Sunday

Today at church, Pastor Todd spoke on "Making Time For What Matters Most".
So I am going to do my quotes on 'Time'.
Here is one he shared with us...

"Time invested on improving yourself is less time wasted dissapproving others!"
Here are the ones that really stuck out to me...
"Procrastination is the thief of time." ~Edward Young

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." ~Denis Waitley


"Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time. "
~Denis Waitley

"
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. " ~Carl Sandburg

So what are you doing with your time?

Quotable Sunday

Even though I'm out on vacation, I still have internet access.
Today was an awesome day with my family & I have decided to do my quotes on "Legacy/ies".

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
~Anon

"The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind."
~John Allston

We were meant to give our lives away. Spend more time living your legacy instead of worrying about leaving it.
~ Lee J. Collan


I suppose that everyone of us hopes secretly for immortality; to leave, I mean, a name behind him which will live forever in this world, whatever he may be doing, himself, in the next.
~A.A. Milne

Your descendants shall gather your fruits.
~Virgil

Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God's children.
~Dirk Benedict

Quotable Sunday

Well, with everything going on this week. I thought I would take a moment to reflect on my Daughter's promotion.
I am going to do graduation quotes in honor of all those in my life that have graduated this week.

There is a good reason they call these ceremonies "commencement exercises." Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning. ~Orrin Hatch

Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference. ~Arie Pencovici

Your schooling may be over, but remember that your education still continues. ~Author Unknown

I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known. ~Author Unknown

Hitch your wagon to a star. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. ~Confucius

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quotable Sunday

K, I can't go to bed before doing my "Quotable Sunday" post...
Today I have chose to do quotes on Faith. Pastor Todd has been teaching on Faith these past two weeks & I just feel like doing it on faith =)

Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active.
~Edith Hamilton

You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.
~Samuel Butler
He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend,
loses much more, He who loses faith, loses all.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.
It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the
next step.

~ Robert Schuller

Without faith a man can do nothing; with it all things are possible.
~ Dr. Robert Schuller

Faith is reacting positively to a negative situation.
~ Sir William Osler

Faith is no irresponsible shot in the dark.
It is a responsible trust in God, who knows the desires
of your hearts, the dreams you are given, and the goals you have set.
He will guide your paths right.
~ Joni Erickson Tada

Quotable Sunday

Toni decided to pay respect to our Soldiers by dedicating her Quotable Sunday to them. I am definitely following her, as I feel our men & women deserve the respect their due.

For love of country they accepted death... ~James A. Garfield

The brave die never, though they sleep in dust:
Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
~Minot J. Savage

The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example. ~Benjamin Disraeli

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. ~Joseph Campbell

Who kept the faith and fought the fight;
The glory theirs, the duty ours.
~Wallace Bruce

We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them. ~Francis A. Walker

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~Maya Angelou

Quotable Sunday

Hmmm, lookie I found...A new post. It’s called Quotable Sunday…If you know me, you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Quotes!!!
This week I thought I’d post some fun quotes that either mom’s say or are said about moms. You can find the original here:


So here are some that I have found & like:

"It's not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it."~The Golden Girls

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

“Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he’s really in trouble.”
Dennis Fakes

“A mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking” By: Helen Rice

“Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.” By: Mildred B. Vermont

“Nobody knows of the work it makes/to keep the home together. Nobody knows of the steps it takes/ nobody knows but mother.”

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
- Author Unknown

Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of life.
- Maureen Hawkins

And I will leave you with thi (because honestly this could go on forever!)

It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall appear higher and higher. Then suddenly they disappear.
- Dorothy Evslin

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
