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.


TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTERS DAY  -  TAG; YOU'RE IT!




I'm supposed to send this to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them!!!




If you share this with other women, you will boost another woman's selfesteem,

and she will know that you care about her.


(Send to the men you care about too!)


Live by the Golden Rule

Absolutely Awesome. I admit I have made alot of mistakes in my life, but I do learn my lesson the first time, so therefore I do not have to repeat it again.  


Tag your it on the "Beautiful Christian Sister's Day" 


Just to let you know I sent this all over Canada, where my family & friends are. It went from Halifax, N.S. to Vancouver, British Columbia.


It really makes one think.... Seriously.!!!!  This absolutely touched my heart & soul in many ways unmetionable.  This is MYy Analagy


Let me give you a great example, of what God is to me. We don't realize we all have a "Guardian Angel" , truly we do. I found this out the night of my accident. By the way some ANGELS are walking among us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   IOn Feb. 20 2008 I fell into my gramma's old 1940's antique mirror. It contained lead & silver & wood to say the least. All I was doing was trying on my spring & summer shoes to donate, or give away the ones I felt I didn't like anymore. The mirror exploded everywhere. I had severed my nerve & muscles on my right arm. I'm right hand dominate but alot of ways I'm ambidextrous. Good Thing.   I called the EMTs, Matt (my diving friend)  & his partner arrived; I kept saying I Didn't Want To Die.  Everyone involved knew that I was a DNR.  I was already a mess from waist to feet. They loaded me up & that was the end of it..........  I was gone. What you see on TV or read in a book is pretty much what I saw. People refer it to the light at the end of the tunnel, TRUST ME IT EXISTS.  I arrived at the hospital & was immediatelt taken to the O.R.  My girlfriend was at my side the whole time. I watched the Dr. sew me up....... 3 deep stitches, & 20+ outside.  Two weeks later in March I eneded-up at my Dr. he performed a few needle aspirations, & took out more glass fragments. Once again I was starting to heal.  No fat chance: In April, I had my last surgery to re-attach my muscle & only part of the nervecould be re-joined because of the damage, the other part of my nerve was implanted into my muscle...... Diagnosis is    Neuroma   Medial Antebrachial Cutaneous Nerve Severed & Damaged Chronically.   I still have numbness from my elbow to my baby finger & no extension & grip.... I am working on this though. Physio Therapy 3 to 4 times per week.  The hardest part to all of this is I live alone.  It's called ADAPTATION & SURVIVAL..  I Truly Love GOD & he is the only man who has ever loved me unconditionally. I thank him & the Angels he sent to me that fateful night.  I am a much better person for going through this. I don't look a gift horse in the mouth. One day at a time. I also wake up with a smile on my face & go to bed (after I have said my prayers), with a SMILE on my face.  I do not ask for sympathy or your pity..... I am a much better person for having endured what I went through.


I also try to take a negative &  turn it into a positive.......... Live for today, cause you can't change the past, & You never know what tomorrow will bring.


Stay Safe & God Bless You All............. Have A Great Night.   LOL  P.S. You all have a Guardian ANGEL even if you don't think so.....  They walk among us to.   Lest We Never Forget That.
