The Little Things....

Great quote I wanted to pass along. Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!

"Anger is a little thing. Hate is a little thing. Order is a little thing. Each of these little things has a major impact on the big picture. Right thinking, right action, and right response to the little things will help us conquer the big things, like injustice, inequality, poverty, and disorder. Until we are each able to conquer and master the little things in our lives, the big things will remain undone." - Iylana Vanzant

Come Back to Me...

I love David Cook's new song Come Back to ME!! It's a great song about letting go. I'm a fixer by nature. God gave me a gift for seeing the potential in people, but sometimes that gift gets me in trouble. Because sometimes I see so much of the potential I forget to see how damaged and toxic that relationship can become in my life. When someone is damaged and broken sometimes the only thing you can do is let go, before their issues become your own. I've learned recently that its not selfish to refuse to let someone elses insecurities become your own. And before someone can be a healthy influence in your life they have to figure out who they are. Only when they do that can they be a good friend, boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse.

As Christian we're called to support, encourage, love and pray for each other...sometimes the only way we can do that is by letting go and wishing them well. Whether they come back or not, you can sleep sound knowing you did your best to help their situation, and now it's time to help your own. "One of the things my parents taught me, and I'll always be grateful for the gift, is to not ever let anybody else define me." - Wilma Mankiller, the first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation. The minute we allow anyone to define us other then God is the minute we allow a toxic relationship to begin. So, I know this video is more about romantic love but I hope it encourages you to let go of unhealthy relationships and challenges you to find yourself in God.

Music doesn't always have to be in the 'Christian' category at a Bible bookstore for us to find God in it. His Glory and Majesty is in everything....:-) Listening to this song made me think of God's broken heart everytime we walk away from Him...begging us to come back. Of course, we'll never be able to find ourselves outside of Him. Come back to me.....
