Don't try us and get mad when you find out we don't back down.

Stop pinning your hopes on others to elevate you. Stop looking to someone else for validation. Stop expecting another person to change your life or give you what you want. It’s your LIFE. Your goals. Your dreams. Your future. Go after it. Fight for it. Make it happen. Appreciate everyone who supports. Be grateful and humble always. But never forget, the only person that has your best interests at heart 100%, 24/7, 365, is you.

I don't know if there is a "right" way to pray, but I often wonder if I pray for the right things.

Never underestimate the power of your instincts. So many times, we make decisions despite that feeling of doubt and uncertainty that just gnaws at your "gut", only to find we should have gone with our instincts. Call it God, a sixth sense, a"feeling"; if you've asked for that "sign" to help you choose the right path, why are you driving right past it?

Y’all know how I’m built, but you don’t why.

Today, everyday, try not to worry about what someone thinks of you, who may be hurting or deceiving you or taking advantage of your kindness or love. Just be who you are; who God intends you to be. People who push you away with their bad behavior are doing you a favor. They are releasing you from negativity. Remember, follow your instincts. That's God talking.

You may never understand why some people are innately malicious. That just means your brain does not compute depravity. That, is a good thing.

Be patient" does not mean relax and stop working. Your time is coming but in the meantime, keep building!

Some experiences with the "faithful", can really test your faith. Remember, you serve Him, not them.
