Quote for the Day

"Reputation is what men and women think of us: Character is what God and Angels know of us"
Thomas Payne

A friend from work sent this to me today and it was so appropriate for me today. I have been having to really go to God alot lately (as we are suppose to), but I just don't know what his plan is for me and I have to keep listening and make sure I hear his words. I know his plan is way better then mine because lately I don't even have a plan. I typically want my plan to work and try to reason with the Lord to look at it, but lately, there isn't a "my plan" - which I believe is his way to telling me "good you are getting it".

My mom always told us "it builds character" , those words were said to me by Susan Sorensen over and over and over. I never knew where she got that from and thought it was just some saying she made up - like I.W.B.J.F (it will be just fine). But now as I have grown and matured as a christian I realize she must have been taught that in church and as she grew closer to the Lord.

I do know one thing I have alot of character and I know God loves me for me...all of me!

As we get closer to my dreaded holiday - Mother's Day... I know I will build more character.

So hopefully all of you reading this (all 3 of you) , continue to build your "character" and make God proud.
