Is it in you?

been away for a bit...fighting the flu/ common cold....and long work hours so please forgive my absense......
today at church there was a guest pastor....his message was on the fact that we all have what we need inside ourselves to accomplish the tasks at hand in our life.....it was a good message and I took away a few things from it that I hope I can impliment into my life..... one quote in particular was a instant favorite.

" we tend to over value what we are not and under value what we are."

that is almost true in every aspect of life for almost all of us....I encourage you to stop that way of thinking....I was always told by my grandmother as a child that if I wanted something badly enough I could have it....just go for it and dont let anything stop you from getting it......sounds like your run of the mill inspirational quote for life but ....I tested it out....

At the ripe old age of 14 I met and instantly fell in love with the woman i now call my wife.....I won't go into detail about how many bumps ther ewere along the way let me just say that the hardships we faced as a couple starting at age 14 until now would tear apart 9 out of 10 marriages....GUARANTEED....and im not talking about those minor squabbles of so and so thinks so and so is cute....or I heard you flirted with this person....or I saw you checking her out.....yes we did those but those shouldnt even come close to rocking your marriage.....im talking about families not approving and actually trying to keep you apart....hundreds and at times thousands of miles between us....the loss of a baby...stupid decisions..bad financial decisions..looking for answers in a bottle....straight up spitting in the face of GOD... you name it and we have probably been through it....NO JOKE.... but with all that there.......here I stand at 29 years old with that same girl now as my wife and mother of not 1 but 3 children....and the only answer I can come up with as to how we could do this ....GOD....he gave us a love so strong we knew from the first moment we wanted to be together and we neer let anything stop us.....or relationship was tested and pressured and placed under fire....but by the grace of GOD we today have ....in my opinion....the best and strongest relationship two people can have....

Please let this sink in on you and think about what im trying to say here...... You have what you need in your life to be happy....I promise you....al you have to do is stay faithful to GOD and dont let the world deter you from what GOD wants to give to you.
Hope this helps someone.
