A Minute with Mo

I just thought these were worth sharing! TRUTH:  Some people always have to point out the faults in others…………hoping that no one will notice their own. TRUTH:  If you don't mean as much in their eyes as they do in yours, then honestly……they're not worth looking at. TRUTH:  I have a great need for my God; and fortunately……. I have a great God for my need. TRUTH:  When you love someone…..telling them is only 1% of your job.  But, showing them completes the other 99%. TRUTH:  You can't change people to completely be who you want them to be.  Either accept who they are, or start living life without them.  The choice is as easy as you make it. TRUTH:  The grudges you bear, are shackles you wear.    TRUTH:  If you complain, you're going to remain...but if you praise, you WILL be raised! TRUTH:  God uses us in His way, not ours. And if God wants to use my pain to shine light on others......well, call me Green Mile...

The last few weeks I haven't quite been feeling like myself. I haven't been my normal, bubbly, happy self and I couldn't figure out why i was trying to slump into this 'depression'. I couldn't describe how I felt...just knew that I was in a BLAH mood.... I'm going to go ahead and chalk all that up to the Devil trying to come in and steal my joy, ole slew foot joker (as my line sister would say) but guess whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - I'm smiling again... FOR REAL SMILING. Not pose for school pictures fake smiling either, lol... Life is good...actually life is amazing, spectacular and wonderful! Even though he almost got me, I had to remind myself of all the things I had to be grateful for. You know older people used to always say "If you just look around, there is always someone worse off than you, and you'd better be grateful for what you have."  Not to delight in anyone else's misery by thinking about how bad their situation is versus mine,...

Life's recent events have made me take a moment to step back and evaluate my friendships with certain people.  Friendship is something that I take very seriously... and maybe its because I've had some really good friendships and I also consider myself to be a good friend (most of the time - hey I am human.) To me, a friendship is just as serious as a relationship (in my humble opinion). They require many of the same ingredients, - time, communication, trust, dependability, stability, FUN, you have to like the person, have at least a few things in common and they will be tried at times... My friendships are delicate - almost like flowers...you have to give it certain things in order for the friendship to blossom, grow and continue to survive... if you don't... it will eventually die. *Note: Not all friendships were meant to survive...goes with the whole "people come into your life for a reason and/or season" and not all are meant to remain forever. As I matur...

Some of the ones I've received over the last few weeks that were just too good not to share. Hope you enjoy these as much as I have/do. TRUTH:  You'll learn more from your mistakes if you don't waste time denying them. TRUTH:  The best place to look for someone to make you happy is in the mirror. Accept who you are and be content, but don't let that stop you from evolving..…..God created you and He doesn't major in mistakes. TRUTH:  Sometimes the hardest thing to deal with, isn't the problem itself…....it's having the courage to face the answer. TRUTH:  There are people out there who'd kill to watch me fall, but someone died to pick me up.  And because of that, I'll never stay down. TRUTH:  One of the main reasons we never go beyond our ability is we limit our own choices.   I say that to say this:  Do not make choices which feed a temporary want but starve a permanent need. SIMPLY PUT:  Prayer is the place where burdens ch...

Just sitting at work listening to my iPod and I just drifted to this PLACE. I wasnt even at work anymore. I'm sitting here bobbing in my seat, rolling my neck and JAMMING! I love how listening to a song takes you back to a 'period' in your life, or alters your mood, makes you smile and just want to have a good time and feel good.  So glad I have an 'out' listening to good music. ~Mo~

I've read this before but its such a great reminder and it was right on time yesterday as I was having a horrible morning. I wont go into details but I felt SOOOOOOOOOO defeated and just when I felt like it couldn't get any worse I received this awesome reminder. The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.  He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.  Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, 'God! How could you do this to me?' Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island!   It had come to ...
