MAYA ANGELOU

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

The universe responds to your vibration. Your vibration is born from your beliefs and your beliefs are rooted in your subconscious. Here’s the good news: Your beliefs are nothing more than the thoughts you think over and over and over again. Control your thoughts, control your beliefs. Control your beliefs, control your vibration. Control your vibration, control your experience. Control your experience, get what you desire.

...A 3-month arc...

...a three-month arc

“The first three months should be about two things, having fun and getting to know the other person. If at any time during those three months, you ask yourself, ‘Where is this going?’ stop and instead ask yourself, ‘Am I having fun, am I getting closer to this person?’ That will give you much more information, because in the first three months, you really don’t know where it’s going, nor should you. Don’t make any major decisions during those first three months.”

-Cooper Lawrence, a relationship expert and author of The Cult of Perfection: Make Peace With Your Inner Overachiever.
