ChangeIsGood1

Today I read a Quote that stated "Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back." Author Rubinstein
Although I am not an expert on the matter, my life's own experiences, and that of others I have listened to and know suggest that this Quote is not always a true statement.

My personal experience
* Love life and life will love you back--
Dec. 4th, 1999, Dec. 25th 2004 and finally January 6th, 2008 are experiences about life that I will never forget. These are all people in my support system. These dates are important to me as they are the dates that these people in my life fell asleep in death. I thought after each death that there couldn't possibly be any kind of recovery.
But oh, how wrong I was each and every time.
*First, off I was forced to check my relationship with my heavenly Father.
*Second, I needed to look at the relationships I had with people in my life. Were they real in my life or what I call sponges.
*Third, What kind of friend am I?, Was I making an impact on other just as these ones had made and impact in my life. Was I being a sponge? and
Fourth, was I living a life that is true to myself and most important honored God?
It took me about a year to figure out the real honest answers to these questions.
Unfortunately, I wasn't really impressed with a lot of the answers I was coming up with.
Soooooo, I started working on myself. Thus coming up with: The Change Is Good MOVEMENT.
Doing things so great as checking people who imposed they're
personal beliefs on me. And these so minor such as cutting all my hair off coloring it and getting my nose peirced.
I started prioritizing my life. Which meant putting things that are important to me first and the things that are vain and not so important last.

Love people and they will love you back----
No, No, No,No
The truth of the matter of this is dispite our most sincere efforts to love a friend, brother, sister, father mother or a lover the love back to you may not be the same if any at all.
I am a foster/ adopt parent and can testify to this with authority and experience......personally everyone should have people in their lives that hurt when you hurt, will cry when you cry, laugh when you laugh, jump when you jump...... if you don't CHANGE IS GOOD
Just sharing what i know, thanx for reading

I have been very encouraged by many people on Twitter. Encouraging Words of the week is my way of giving back to all the people who have shown this same love to me! As a CHRISTIAN I find much encouragement from my favorite book "The Bible" So there is where my words will come from.
ENJOY ;-)

No, Don't Change Who You Are
If you like, even love who you are as a person. There may not be a need for change. So many people look at themselves and Okay with how they are. Then along comes MR or MRS "right!" They may not be happy with themselves so they belittle all confidence that you may have in yourself. But, have no fear look to your heavenly father because he says: "man was made in his image"
Don't worry focus on the positive things that you know you like and tell yourself:
"I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, As my soul is very well aware."
PSALMS 139:14

Did you know that using the word of God to lead people on bring dishonor to him?


"We wish to conduct ourselves honestly in all things."
Hebrews 13:18

Note: God is a Jealous God and requires exclusive devotion!

Questions to think about:
When I preach about the good news is it to bring people to greater understanding of GOD?
Am I preaching about God to draw people to yourself for selfish gain and unrighteous reasons?
Am I KNOWN for being one that personally brings honor to GOD as a role model?
