Sometimes there's nowhere to run and no one to call. Sometimes you have to be steadfast and find God right where you're standing! Whether that's at school, at home, at work, out on the street, in the desert or down in the dungeon. Psalm 139:8 says, "If I ascend into heaven, THOU art there! If I make my bed in hell, behold THOU art there! God IS wherever you are, if you would just consciously REALIZE and HOLD this truth in your heart! Through prayer, meditation and grace ...all things are possible! "

Find your way back. I believe God orchestrated a way for each of us. Even if we have been castaways in our own stories, we can regain favor." * "Just as my pain is but a mere memory, vindicating faith - shall be my life, bearing witness to the modern miracles of our Creator." * "I probably deserved punishment, but God gave me mercy. I was reckless, but God saved me anyway. I did not have the ability to escape, so God carried me." * "It must have been a comical sight, but no one was laughing. The jungle held its breath as the dark predator invaded their paradise." * "No matter a person's state of wealth, impoverished people think they will not be happy until they have more, whereas enriched people are joyfully certain they have everything." * "I knew I was talking to a criminal and his silent sidekick. The brute never spoke, he just stood there blocking the sun." * "Even if I was urged to write this because God wanted to help just one person, it would be worth it. The faith of one can carry the world." * "I was frozen in astonishment. The mechanical rhythm of the silent killer was deafening." * "I was not able to reach for a mirror, and no one would give me one.

The Goliath had finally eased to a pacified calm." * "I knew God could have saved her, but it was not to be. It was her time to be whole again." * "I believe marriage is the joy of those who select wisely, the approval of those seeking God, and the destiny of those truly in love." * "They are often lost in the daydreams of what could have been and stranded in a life not lived. Wisdom came too late, now regret is their prison." * "You create your own utopia or hellhole no matter the actuality of your surroundings." * "May your finish line be overflowing with love, joy, and your greatest aspirations having come to fruition. When loved ones talk about of your life, may it bring them inspiration and be an example of a life well-lived."
