Don Savant Quote

Although every action has an equal and opposite reaction...often times, that reaction is not necessary.

Let Me Teach You How To Smile Again

Let Me teach You How To Smile Again

gone are the painful days
all the hurt
the
broken promises
the
shattered dreams...

a new life begins now
with God
with me
with...us
starting fresh and
leaving the past
buried
in your rear view mirror

let me
teach you
how to smile again
that it may
from this day forth
forever
come naturally to you

let me
restore the happiness
that once resided in you
the trust
that you always gave
the love
that he spoke of
yet never delivered

let me love you
like you've always dreamed
remember
how you felt
when
those fantasies roamed through your mind
when
you were touched...
mind body and soul
completely
just as a woman should be

let me
walk with you
not behind you
not in front of you
but besides you
just as we were meant to be
rejoined
as man an woman
honoring you
with every step we take

let me
teach
you how to
smile again
ear to ear
cheekbones rising
eyes sparkling
teeth showing
with a hint of
what we call blushing

allow God
to show you
why I'm here
to verify to you...
that the past is gone
and our future
resides within
the permanent embrace
that He has placed in our souls

Slow Down

Have we gotten so busy and focused on ourselves that we have no regard for anyone else? Take for instance when driving, where someone would sit there and wait until it's clear to pull out into the lane, there are many that will just gun it in hopes that they make it causing you to have to slam on breaks or quickly switch lanes. Then there are the ones that weave in beind you, upset that you're only going 10 miles over the speed limit, so they decide to go around you doing 70 in a 35 while mean mugging you as they pass. Why are we in such a hurry to get 20 feet in front of one another. 9 times out of 10 you end up sitting at the same red light. What did you accomplish? Absolutely nothing. Where did our patience go, and how many people have to be hurt or killed by impatient drivers before we realize that we simply need to slow down. God Bless y'all.

I Do It Just Because...

I'll never brag about what I can do, will do, or have done for you. But, I will do everything I can to keep us happy together.

Dream Big

Who are we to tell someone what they can or can't dream? When did we become the authority on whether someone's goals are set too high? When a person works towards his or her dreams, they are putting a plan into action for their lives. Each of us has a specific destiny that we are supposed to work towards. We have a purpose. We must find that purpose for ourselves and walk in it in order to come into our destiny.

There are people in this life that serve as hindrances, or stumbling block on the way to your destiny. They poison your mind with doubt, with questions, and make you feel as if your purpose isn't worth the trouble. These naysayers can be friends, family, or complete strangers. We must protect our dreams and not allow the words and sentiments of these people cloud our judgment when it comes to making things happen for ourselves.

Always speak your dreams into existence, and maintain a positive vibe. Dismiss anyone or anything around you that may be throwing off a negative vibe, as this will prolong your journey to where you are supposed to be.

Lastly, be supportive of the dreams of others. One of the biggest things a dreamer needs is a positive support group. You can turn inches to miles depending on your level of faith, the correct mindset and the demeanor of the people surrounding you. Make strides towards your destiny, and let no one deter you from it. God Bless

Say What?

I just want to speak on something right quick. When did the people of America become such whiners? We take offense to so much these days that it's absolutely ridiculous. Now, I'm not one of those that will go out an proclaim to the world that the end is near, but you certainly have to wonder. Especially when you have people getting offended by someone simply telling you to "have a blessed day". Are you serious? There are so many more things that we could be worried about in life besides someone telling you to be blessed. Furthermore...why would you even run out and tell on someone for that? It's a tad too trivial for my taste. But, I do say this regardless. Have a Blessed Day!!!!! They should change the title of the USA to the DSC. The Divided States of Complainers.
