quotes

The reason for quotes being put under this link is because of the influence they play in my life. I have always loved quotes and collected them over the years. For some reason, I feel that a short quote can speak to me more than a whole 10 page paper. I think it is the simplicity and the directness they portray. A quote can make you see something inside yourself or others that is so true, yet overlooked. So with all that said, here are some of my favorite quotes.

And it chills to the bone

"Let us pray
Lord Jesus it is you who wakes me up everyday
And I am grateful for your love this is why I pray
You let me touch so many people and it's all for the good
I influence so many children I never thought I would
And I couldn't take credit for the love they get
I'm just the one that's giving it
And when it seems like the pressure gets to be too much
I take time out and pray and I said you be my crutch
Lord I am not perfect by a long shot I confess to you daily
But I work hard everyday and I hope that you hear me
In my heart I mean well but if you help me grow
Then what I have in my heart will begin to show
And when I get going I'm not looking back for nothing
Cause I would know where I am headed I'm so tired of suffering
I stand before you a weakened version of your reflection
Begging for direction for my soul needs resurrection
I don't desreve what you give me but you never took it from me
Because I am grateful and I use it and I don't worship money
And if you want for me is to bring your children to you
My regre is only having one life to do it instead of two"
Amen
Prayer III by Earl Simmons
