"A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down". ~Arnold H. Glasow

"True friends stab you in the front."~Oscar Wilde
When I first saw this quote, I had to read it twice. What I take from this quote is that a true friend is going to be up front with you at all times. A true friend will correct you when needed and support you as well.

"Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude". ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just thought I would share another Martin Luther King, Jr. quote on his day. Forgiveness is important for us to learn to give, and sometimes it's the hardest thing to do, but I feel there is no way around it if we want to continue living in a positive way.

"Work hard, stay positive, & get up early. It's the best part of the day" ~George Allen, Sr.
I know sometimes it is difficult to wake up with a positive attitude and go to a job that you are not satisfied with or just dealing with life on a day to day basis. It is important for us to strive to do the best we can in any situation and remain positive. Remaining positive not only helps us make it through the day, but helps us reach our goals.

Birthday Inspirational Countdown Quote #8
"Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye". ~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
As I was discussing with my friends today, it's amazing what you see or accept when your heart is involved. It's a good thing that love will let us see passed people's faults or imperfections, but we also must be wise and not let love cause us to stay in negative situations.

"Your purpose in life is to find your purpose & give your whole heart & soul to it". ~Gautama Buddha
I encourage anyone to find out what their purpose in life is. Sometimes it is not always easy to find it, but once you do-own it, explore it, grow it, and show it!!! What is life without a purpose?!?

"Michal Zacharzewski / RGBstock"."A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you". ~Elbert Hubbard I am extremely blessed with the friends I have.

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear". ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is so much easier to love someone than to hate. Hate consumes way too much energy and in the end it hurts us not the person we are hating.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase". ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is one of my favorite quotes about faith. Sometimes we are too afraid to take a step to do something we have always dreamed of doing or what we have been called to do, but don't realize that taking that first step opens up the door to allow our faith to grow and continue on our journeys. Don't be afraid to take the first STEP!
Love & Blessings,

Birthday Inspiration Countdown #1
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil. 4:13.
For those of you who know me, I normally do a countdown to my birthday at the start of the year and thank goodness I don't have to count so long since my birthday is in January (lol), and this year I decided to post 28 verses and/or quotes that I find inspiring to me. Of course I had to start with my favorite verse. Anytime I feel that I cannot do something, I always remember who I can draw strength form. As always I hope that you will also find inspiration in these posts!
Love & Blessings,
Randa B-M

What's your word for 2014?
What's your word for 2014?
Happy New Year to you all. I'm thankful that we are blessed to see another year because someone did not make it to see today. Another year means another opportunity to do things differently if we did not like the way we did things in 2013. It's a fresh start for many, and a continuation of blessings for others. However you feel about the new year and/or however you brought in the new year, I hope that you will take the chance to reflect on your life and set goals for yourself to help you live life to the fullest.
As you take the time to reflect and set your goals, think of a positive word that you want to use throughout this year or that you want to set your goals around. For example, my word is FOCUSED, I want to remain focused on the goals that I have set for myself and on what I am called to do. I'm tired of letting negative circumstances deter me from my focus. Once you have selected your word, think of different methods to help you keep your word in mind as you go throughout the year, like putting it on post-it notes throughout your house or saying it when you wake up or go to sleep. If you would like to share your word with me feel free to contact me at inspiringtp@yahoo.com or through the contact form on the blog, and I will pray over your word as I pray over mine.
I pray that you all will be blessed throughout this year and through life, and remember that though life is not easy, it is only as difficult as we make it. It's a new year...
"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:19
Love & blessings,
