I was watching Akeelah and the bee yesterday and I really fell for a certain quote. Here it is in it's fullness.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles)

Simple days
"Momma taught us early in life
Everybody's gotta struggle sometime
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a manAnd a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said
Sometimes I sit, I wonderI reminisce,
I think of all the good times
That we had in our livesS
ometimes I can't get over
How wonderful those days were
Back in our lives
Simple days for simple times
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said"
Treasure, treasure
"Be a spendthrift in love!
Love is the one treasure that multiplies by division:
It is the one gift that grows bigger the more you take from it.
It is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift;
give it away,
throw it away,
splash it over,
empty your pockets,
shake the basket,
turn the glass upside down,
and tomorrow you will have more than ever." --Author unknown

I just had to share what a friend shared with me this morning.
"Zimbabwe Financials
In August 2006 the RBZ slashed 3 zeros under Operation Sunrise, in what to the people of Zimbabwe was supposed to become a relief to them from the burden of carrying huge quantities of worthless notes.
Exaclty 2 years after that, the RBZ this time slashed 10 zeros that is ( 3 + 7) that is the initial 3 zeros were back and 7 others. I will try and explain this occurence in a bibilcal manner hoping it is fully articulated
From Luke 11 verse 24 -26" When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first." KJV
So when a spirit is cast out, if the Christian is not fully equipped with the word, Holy Spirit, he will find himself in a worse state. I would want to think thats what happened to the Economy of Zim. We removed three zeros, like the unclean spirit the zeros were wandering about seeking a place of rest but found none, all the other countries had sound financial and economic policies in place, so they came back to Zim and found the house swept clean, but empty, no policy in place and what did they do; they invited 7 more zeros deadly than the first 3 and we had to slash now (3 + 7) zeros
3 months down the line after the removal of (3 + 7) zeros; the zeros are back; the 10 which were slashed are here; are they surveying the landscape to see if there is any policy that has been put in place;
The house is clean but empty; no policies so if nothing is done it means we will have (10 + 7) zeros and the seven more deadly than the ten
Please pray for our nation;"
No wonder I love my circle of friends ;)

One step at a time
"Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rushIt's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knewYou wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time"
