A Special Message

On my birthday I received quite a few cards. All of them were very beautiful and very thoughtful howecer, there was this one card that my GM gave me that specifically spoke to the next level of how I am making a MUCH MORE CONSCIENCE EFFORT EVERYDAY to live my life in 2008 and on. (Had this been a few years ago, I probably would have said what a coincidence. But because I am a believer I know that with God there are no coincidences).
Remember that I told you on my B-day God allowed me to experience living life in true liberty and now HE allowed GM to send me a card that confirmed this next level that HE wants me to experience. I am so humbly amazed that God never forgets the little details.

Ok, so I just wanted to take the time to share the 8 steps of Life's Legacies written on the card by Hallmark. (You did know that 8 is the number of new beginnings, right?). :)

Live Deep: Never stop learning, playing, or finding wonder in the world around you. Live the length of your life, but live the depth of it as well.

Travel Light: There is no use in carrying around worry or regret. They only weigh you down. Always keep yourself open to hope and to love. They give us wings.

Forgive imperfection: In yourself and others. Imperfections keep things interesting. They're cracks where the light shines through.

Own beautiful things: And not just keep them in the drawer, tucked away for a perfect day. Surround yourself with things that make you happy, that remind you of the beauty all around us if we keep our eyes open to it.

Make Mistakes: Follow detours. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn to help us find life that is waiting for us around the bend. Trust yourself and the path that is
meant for you.

Take care of yorself: And sometimes that means you need icecream. Be good to your body, but also to your mind and spirit. You"re the only one who can.

(#8) And always know that you are loved, you are a gift to the world and a blessing to me. And that will never change.

(C) Hallmark...

May you take these steps and incorporate them into your journey of Life Legacies.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing to someone else.

With Much Love,

S.A.W.

Living In Liberty...

12/09-Today was my B-day and this week has been an awesome week. From training and a mini vacation in LA to a fun filled b-day weekend. It was good seeing old friends from school, a joyful time of fellowship with current and new friends and on today dinner with my family made my birthday extra special.

Through this whole experience, I have learned that no matter what is thrown ur way try to enjoy life as much as you can. Just like my Bishop said today it's nothing like the peace that you experience from yourself. This is so true, because majority of the time its us stressing ourself out about what's next, the bills, the negative thoughts, reruns of negative situations we play over in our heads and much much more.

I believe God revealed to me today what its like to truly live in liberty and peace. So from this day forth I am striving a little harder to live a life of Liberty and Peace.

So I say to you sing like no ones listening, dance like no one's looking, worship like no one's watching, give unexpectedly, love unconditionally, serve as if u were serving the Lord face to face, forgive as if it was ur last day on earth and be a witness for Jesus as if it was ur fulltime job.

His word says that He came so that we may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). So before the new year begins, let's get in the habit of learning to be comfortable in our liberty and peace...

God Bless,
S.A.W.
