Yep. It's always the conquerors and famous people who have succeeded that tell you stuff like that. Ask the rest of us who have tried all our lives and gotten nowhere.
I think I'll stick with "With God nothing is impossible" and "If you are asking and don't receive it's because you are asking wrongly." I must be very wrongly asking when it comes to wanting success. Mostly it's because it wasn't good for me to have in the long run I guess.
Until my son died I figured all the failing was offset by having my family around me. Now I don't know what to think eventhough things might have gotten much worse if he hadn't died. I hope I get to see God someday and He shows me how it was all part of His plan.

What has already happened, you can't do much about it. Just go on with your life and make the best of it. Sometimes it takes longer than you wish it did, but you have to give it a try! Good Luck. We are all behind you and will help you with words.

Pixi, sometimes it's all we can do to have faith that God is guiding our lives, although the path may not be a smooth one and we often can't see it. Hang in there; we both need patience in our lives right now. You are in my prayers.

Thank you so much, aknan. I'm sending a prayer of thanks for you right now.
Love your quotes. Especially the second one. That is so true. Praise God for what you have.

Love both of them. You can always make do with what you have without going out to buy something else which you probably don't need anyhow. If I don't have the money I do without!

how true I had to learn to keep my mouth shut when I went to a store with my husband
if I said I liked something if he had the money he would buy it
if I liked it didn't mean I wanted it

Money is a good servant but a bad master.

I'm with you Elijah, I never buy anything unless I have the cash to do so - old fashioned maybe, but it works for me. I have always had a budget and always have money for the bills. Makes for a debt free time. Hugs.
I didn't think I'd enjoy this one too much, since the colors go straight across, but it ended up being quite delightful! I was surprised at how much I like working with these pieces. Have a blessed Monday everyone!

"Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like." ~ Will Smith
If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can't buy.
Good night and God bless all of you. Hugs.
