The Pencil - I love this!!!

Parable of the Pencil
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting it into the box. There are five things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.
[1] You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand.
[2] You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.
[3] You will be able to correct mistakes you will make.
[4] The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
[5] On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
[1] You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.
[2] You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
[3] You will be able to correct mistakes you might make or grow through them.
[4] The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
[5] On every surface you walk, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to serve God in everything.

Go Light Your World!!

I found a great song that has inspired me. I want to share the lyric's with you. The notion that we have the ability to change the world around us has been around forever. Generation to generation have made the claim that one person can make a difference. Coke did it with their song " Id like to teach the world to live in perfect harmony, I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company". Each of us individually can be the light in the world we live in. You have the power to reach out to someone who is hurting with love, help, caring, and assistance. One person can make the difference in life or death to another. The words we share, the smile we give, the hand we have to offer really can make a diffierence. We are the light of the world the Bible says. That means we have a responsibility to SHINE. Shine like you have never shined before!! Be a light, Share Jesus, Share His love with those around you! Don't hoard what information you know that can change people all around you!! Look over the lyrics of this song and be inspired as I was:


Go Light Your World
Chris Rice
There is a candle in every soul Some brightly burning, some dark and cold There is a Spirit who brings a fire Ignites a candle and makes His home

So carry your candle, run to the darkness Seek out the helpless, confused and torn Hold out your candle for all to see it Take your candle, and go light your world,Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to Light his own candle some other way See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to Still holds a candle without a flame

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn Hold out your candle for all to see it Take your candle, and go light your world Take your candle, and go light your world Cause

We are a family whose hearts are blazing So let's raise our candles and light up the sky Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus Make us a beacon in darkest times

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor Hold out your candle for all to see it Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness Seek out the helpless, confused and torn Hold out your candle for all to see it Take your candle, and go light your world Take your candle, and go light your world Take your candle, and go light your world

Good Friends.....

I havent written in awhile so I thought today is a good day to write something. So here goes........ I was thinking today how great it is to have good friends. Good friends are the ones that take you as you are. Their not trying to change you, but rather enjoy you for what you are and aren't. For every silly thing you say, and every goofy moment as they come. I just wanted to shout out to all of you in my life that appreciate me for who I am. Good friends are hard to come by so I just wanna say thanks for all of you out there that allow me to be me, and seem to enjoy it that way!!
