Just Start Again

By Christina

imageHave you ever experienced some sort of a relapse? You had wonderful progress and then whoops, there we go again…the pitfall. If it could be that simple then what is the answer.

JUST START AGAIN!

A relapse is a fall or slip back into a former state or practice. It could be in anything – where you relapse in some state or previous practice. It could be a mental relapse, an emotional relapse, a relapse into alcohol, drugs, addiction or ill practice. Whatever it is…there is HOPE in God. Recovery is possible! You just have to keep on. When you slip or fall –don’t feed it– just start again. Continue reading

When Beauty is Toxic

By Christina

contemporary-display-and-wall-shelvesI have seen these three interchangeably.
Some write Live, laugh, Love.
Laugh, Love, Live.

A Friend Loves

By Christina

A Friend Loves At All Times

image

I love that scripture, it bears so much truth…

Friends never change with each other
They grow with each other
Time is meaningful, always worthwhile
There is never envy, but rejoicing within
Your never afraid to be yourself
You share what’s on your heart
Trust is present and never any doubt
When they speak you learn even more
They teach you something valuable
Time passes so quick when your with them
Because your not mindful of your clock
Boredom doesn’t exist ever because there is always something to share
Even silence is golden
Just sharing one by one
If time has passed between them it never hinders the friendship
Smiles are exchanged
Love is always present
They encourage one another
And they are not afraid to be weaker
For words to uplift will always spill through Continue reading
