For Bighead & Shorty:

Little quotes and encouragements to live by:

I carry you in my heart always. Know that I have loved you both from our day one. I can't be more thankful for the blessing God gave me by putting you to in my life. Always remember to: Serve God, serve others & take yourself out of the equations. To whom much is given, much is also required. Everything to you & your sister will have that statement somewhere. If you don't get what you want, want what you get. Problems are nothing but, solutions that are masked in works of code. It is not what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable. I think of a responsible person as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with her freedom. Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.

Remember 3R's:

Respect yourself;

Respect others;

Be Responsible for your actions.

Nothing is ever lost by courtesy. It is the cheapest of pleasures, costs nothing, and conveys much.

How will you live your life when nobody's watching? Where after all does morality begin?

In small places, close to home so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world.

Unless morals are taught in the home and have meaning there they will have little meaning anywhere.

Always remember; No man can be called friendless when he has God as his companion. No legacy is as rich as honesty. Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. Failure or victory is conceived in our thinking first then birthed in our lives. Within every obstacle man endures, there is always a positive, but sometimes it's hidden behind the pain. Don't ever let the pain control you. Neither praise nor blame moves a wise man. An attitude is a way of life formed by negative or positive decisions made in the midst of circumstances we are experiencing or have experienced.

— Hebrews 4:12. When you face a tough situation, what is your first response? For many of us, we try to handle the problem ourselves and end up getting into a tangled mess. We often wait until our circumstance has gotten out of control before we decide to seek God for help. Why wait? Why keep enduring unnecessary setbacks and frustration? Seek God immediately and avoid the "tangled threads”. The next time a problem comes your way, I encourage you to follow the great advice in; Proverbs 3:5-6:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. Never give up on yourself because God never gives up on you. The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy. Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.

Don't let little disputes damage great relationships. Never laugh at anyone’s DREAMS, sometimes dreams are all they have. Excuses are dangerous because they can block true repentance. A person that is successful has simply formed the habit of doing things that unsuccessful people will not do.

Find a man who if you bump into him on the sidewalk, he will apologize and doesn’t need to start a fight. If you pass him on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a man or lady. He will trust strangers and is courtly to his mother and other women. A man will hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection. A man will get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children. A man will have moral courage. They seldom brag unless it's about their wife or children. And REMEMBER BOYS shack up. MEN build homes. Marry A MAN. Last but not least, remember I Love my GIRLS.
