Truth is we all wish we could do what we cannot do and be what we cannot be.<BR/><BR/>The ones who give the impressiong that they don't have to wish for those things, if truth were known, wish for them even more than we do.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12777276.post-1155008347761189622006-08-07T20:39:00.000-07:002006-08-07T20:39:00.000-07:00I like to think of all that wishin' and hopin' as ...I like to think of all that wishin' and hopin' as inspiration that spurs us on. God is showing you things that speak to you -- but ONLY to help you determine who YOU are and what you want to do. Remember God made you to be YOU and that's a very important job! <BR/><BR/>Your thoughts are profound, your blog is beautiful...

The last of it goes "And after you do, you will be his." We already are His. We just need to know what to do with what He has given us. Maybe it's just to encourage one another in a time such as this.

I need to get off my butt and put the action into my life. <BR/><BR/>I need to just do it, not wish it. I need to put the actions behind the thoughts in order to accomplish things."<BR/><BR/>Oh girl, this is a lesson that I have had to learn the HARD way over and over and OVER again. And it wasn't until I started in on this Jamaica thing, that I really learned the value of this lesson. <BR/><BR/>Be blessed my friend: not only for taking action, but for having the boldness in Christ to know that anything is possible with Him. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and THIS bears repeating: "I need to put the actions behind the thoughts in order to accomplish things."<BR/><BR/>A very wise friend of mine calls this... <BR/><BR/>"living your life ON PURPOSE"... a very POWERFUL tool in accomplishing anything in life... but most importantly, your dreams. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for adding me to your site. I'm humbled that my story moved you, because trust me: I'm still having a hard time believing it myself. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645173133565192118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12777276.post-1154725354270217422006-08-04T14:02:00.000-07:002006-08-04T14:02:00.000-07:00Shelley, thanks so much for sharing yourself on yo...Shelley, thanks so much for sharing yourself on your blog.
