In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity....Albert Einstein
I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.....Mother Teresa
The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges......Martin Luther King Jr.
If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me...Ann Landers
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict....William E. Channing
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature....Helen Keller
Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin....Hansen, Grace

You know I've always believed in Karma. I am in no way Jesus, so therefore yes I have sinned. Because of that fact I am in no way immune from being "punished" for doing something wrong. I have also repented, which has in turn granted me many, many, blessings......Foia
Being in the right or wrong time, however you see it can land you in a place that you are supposed to be. There are always 2 maybe 3 roads one can travel. Think carefully before you waste your gas on the route you think is best, because prices are rising every day....Foia
And now a poem:
I am me
I write
I tell
My
Testimony
But only I
Can alter my story
I have been broken
In half
Jumped
Off of the wall
Just like
Humty Dumpty
When he had a great fall
My head is hard
But my heart is soft
I've been through a lot
And yes I've taken notes
So the next time
I fill in the bubble correct
So I don't continue
To make the same mistakes
I can admit
That I am not
Though I may look
PERFECT
So I've been told
By so many people
From all over the world
I have to tell myself
That's not true
I am a work in progress
Who might break
But that's why
We have glue

OMG! So many blog posts I've read today have really spoken to me and yours is no exception. I'm in a hell of a funk today and I'm feeling that post!
Beautiful! Your poetry is so so so on point and I think sometimes it's so hard for me because i am too busy beating myself up and think that I am above mistakes, but we all make them. You have a hard head and a soft heart, do you also have a soft bottom because i was told that if you have a hard head, you get tons of spankings as a child, like i did growing up LOL.
Keep up the good work and keep pressing.
My favorite quote here was from Mother Theresa.
