I know poetry inspires people... not me.
Songs make people respond...kinda, but not me.
Why is that? I associate ear ring combinations with my day events. Yes, earrings, I never wear matching earrings so I associate a crappy day with the mismatched pairing of earrings. On some days, I never repeat the ear ring combination because I do not want the day to repeat itself. Is that weird? Yes, seriously it is weird.
I love quotes. I came across a really powerful quote the other day... God's presence in our soul. I have found that faith doesn't necessarily stop all bad things from happening, but it does carry us through them. In fact, greatness is often birthed from the adversities in our lives. I wrote this on a scrap sheet of paper back in the summer. It appeared out of no where about 2 weeks ago. About a month ago, I almost lost my sister/best friend to a tragic event. (She is alive and great now). This quote appeared...again. Timing odd? I think not. God wink? Yes. Listen to that again, Greatness is often birthed from the adversities in our lives. Greatness... what is your greatness? What is mine? The title of the book where this was pulled from is You're All That by Paula White. We really all that and more. We are great.
