CHANGE

Change is always the hardest things we have to do but the fact remains it has to start with you.

2012 is coming to an end. Some might be happy its ending some are stressed things didn't go as planned. We have lost loved ones but gained new love as well.

I have been blessed and thank my lord for the things but some I haven't been.

Some day at church I asked God why a certain situation in my life was occurring? I was conFused and hurt , needed answers to a point we're I cried. The following day while reading my bible I remembered that in order for things to change you must change yourself first.  God never changes and He is the same today as he was in the past and will be in the future. People do change though and God calls us to repent and change of our ways. Whatever we experience in life and through life changes we are to do for God who gives us the strength and courage to carry out His plans in our lives.

I have often heard it said that the only easy way to deal with change is when you are the one doing the change. Truth be told, many times we are not in control of the change and therefore we find it hard to adjust.

Change is real and necessary. For salvation we must change our mind (repent) and agree that God’s way is better than our way. For Spiritual maturity we allow the Holy Spirit to change us as it is written: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed [changed] by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2 KJV).

here are some quotes;

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Maya Angelou

Attitude, Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Norman Vincent Peale

Change, Thoughts Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Nelson Mandela

Change, Powerful, Education Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

John F. Kennedy

Change, Future, Past God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Reinhold Niebuhr

God, Courage, Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Freedom, Change, Must Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Barack Obama

Waiting, Change, Person You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

Change, Must, Wish Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

Simone de Beauvoir

Today, Change, Future For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Steve Jobs

Change, Ever, Doubt If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Michael Jordan

Change, Others, Negative A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

Change, Ever, Small Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

Harriet Tubman

Strength, Patience, Change I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

Plutarch

Change, Better, Friend I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.

John Lennon

Change, Live, Feel All great change in America begins at the dinner table.

Ronald Reagan

Change, America, Begins Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.

Bruce Barton

Hope, Change, Fear Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

Arnold Bennett

Change, Better, Drawbacks A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

Winston Churchill

Change, Mind, Won If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Albert Einstein

Change, Facts, Theory If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Lao Tzu

Change, End, May If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Wayne Dyer

Change, Look  What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

Plutarch

Change, Reality, Achieve When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.

Bernard Meltzer

Change, Strong, Too It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

Barack Obama

Change, New, Help It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Charles Darwin

have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and GREAT NEW YEAR.... I HOPE YOU CHANGE FOT THE BEST

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY

Thank you Dad

Dad,
A great many thanks for all you have done
Without you my life would not have begun
You have been there when I most needed you
You have helped to guide me my whole life through
We have shared both the good times and the bad
But most of all, thank you for being my dad
I love you

To The Best Father Ever

To the best Father ever
We your children stand
Forever by Your side now
And wish to lend our hand

Though we fall far short most times
Of Your expectations
You pick us up and dust us off
Then show us Your creations

While we slip and fall along
You have set The Way
With the path that we should follow
Each and every day

And so it is our Dear Father
We wish to thank You so
For being there when needed
Helping us to grow

With Love,
Your children


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY. I LOVE YOU BIG TIME MKHULU!

The Serenity Prayer

The Serenity Prayer
	God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. --Reinhold Niebuhr In loving memory of Fr Bertram Griffin -- 1932-2000 Requiescat in Pace
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3, 5-6

My girls and I usually go out for drinks on Fridays and unwind . This Friday was different. The girls threw me a surprise birthday party. I was so blown away because I was not expecting much but it really lightened up my mood.

They took me to a wonderful place in Main Str. were they served African dishes from all over African. We really enjoyed ourselves. I was finished (drunk) because of the many toasts that were made.

and God thank you ! your love for me has never ended .

Dear God,
It's me again...I am so far from where I could have been
Dear God, I would be incomplete
But you came and touched my life in time of need
So I'm thanking you for all you've done
And for sacrificing your only son

That's why I'm writing you this letter
To let you know that I love you
Thank you for all that I am and for being a friend
Lord, my love for you'll never end

Dear God,
I'm so grateful for the way you've changed my life
I'd give all I have, I'd just throw it all away
For a chance to walk with you through heaven's gates
That's why I'm thanking you for your love and your grace
I don't deserve these blessings that you give to me



Dear God,
As a humble women I come to you like a child
Needing your knowledge, your love, and your guidance Lord
Thank you for trusting me with my own life's decisions
But I'm just a women, and I don't deserve this incredible life that you've given me
I love you Lord, I love you


Dear God, I'm so sorry, so sorry for living for me
But I promise from this day on I'm livin' for you
'Cause without you my life means nothing

Have a great week!
