"Poem by Maya Angelo - Beautiful Christian Sister"

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER by Maya Angelou

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin'' I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain.. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment Created by Terry Esau– Day 30”

Well friends today is the last day of our "Surprise Me God 30-day Experiment". Please check out Terry Esaus website for further enrichment. As I look back over the last 30 days there is not one day that has gone by without receiving some form of "surprise" in a variety of forms and methods. It warms my heart to know that God loves a brown city girl like me who many wrote off as a "square nobody".

"Famous Quote"

“Be happy. It's one way of being wise.” By Sidonie Gabrielle

“A little laughter”

For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said,"Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?"Tommy burst into tears and confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"
