Thank You God and Halls



Have you ever had a time you are struggling with thoughts, or tests, or writings, or anything that you want to just walk away from?  I do.  There are times I walk away and don’t have the strength to go on.  There are more times I can get help if I ask my Higher Power (God) and I ask.  There are different ways God will help:  Touch me on my shoulder, send a person to work with me, provide a friend who prays for me, or He’s present in something I read. 

Last Sunday (18th) I was sharing the Message.  Last month our church had a fire in the sanctuary.  We have to worship somewhere else.   Right now we are worshiping in a building that was given to us to use.  Wow, great! Then my Pastor called to remind me I was to do the Message.  Gulp!  I am scared, I can’t do it!  Then I remembered I had started to focus on the message two months ago.  I called my Pastor and I said I could do it.  So, I was nervous, my throat got dry, I put a cough drop in my mouth and I looked at the wrapper.  I was surprised when I saw the writing on the wrapper as I opened the cough drop.  I use the Halls sugar-free cough drops and there was a message in the cough drop wrapper on this day:  Fire up those engines!  March forward!

I got up to talk and I shared with the congregation I was nervous and scared and God stepped in and I was no longer nervous or scared.   It seems that many times when I think I can’t do it, I will see one of the cough drop wrappers and I know that God helped me again.

Here are more for you:
Fire up those engines! 
March forward!
Don’t wait to get started! 
Hi-five yourself!
Be unstoppable!
Push on!
Let’s hear your battle cry.
Power through!
Bet on yourself!
Put a little strut in it.
Don’t waste a precious minute!
Don’t give up on yourself!    
Take charge and mean it!
Conquer today!
Dust off and get up!
Be resilient!
It’s yours for the taking!
Get back in the game!
Tough is your middle name.
Flex your “can do” muscles!
Elicit a “wow” today!
Get through it!
Seize the day!
Put your game face on!
Turn “can do” into “can did!”

I like all of them.  I have my own one comes from :  http://www.alz.co.uk/icaniwill I Can, I Will!
