The reason why I am writing is because I have been re-inspired
and I want to share my thoughts with friends who can appreciate
and benefit from my positive energy!

First off I want to thank you for being the kind of person
you are. In the past I have touched on quite a few subjects,
From Christian music to Overcoming difficult obstacles in our
lives by embracing our Spirituality.

I have received so many fantastic responses from smart and
loving people that I feel honored to be connected to a
network of Christians all over the world! I just want to
express my gratitude for you being a simply wonderful friend
in Christ.

What I really wanted to share with you is a recent event
that happened to me and how my faith in God and in myself
turned bad to good.

The fact is that in out busy and stressful lives its common
that we forget to give our thanks to God for all the blessings
we already been given. It seems that lately for me all I have
been able to focus on arethe worries and negativity in my life.

I worry about the slowing economy, The high cost of EVERYTHING,
relationship hardships, heath issues,job securities.
Pretty much if you can name it, I worry about it.
I know that its normal to be concerned and conscious of issues
in our lives but I was getting to the point of getting really
anxious about what was going to happen and getting depressed
because I felt like there was no way for me to control it.

For an example, I was invited to a family friends wedding
last month, honestly I haven’t been to many weddings so the
appropriate gift and apparel were pretty unknown to me.

Not to mention that I have been pretty low on cash and I really
wanted to give a nice present to the couple to express my best
regards for them. Unfortunately their wedding registry could
have been mistaken for that of the Duke and Duchess Of Buckingham,
I kid you not, these gifts were astronomically expensive!

After much stressing and beating myself up over my inability to
purchase a platinum encrusted serving platter, I decided to pray
about it. I asked God to guide me to wisdom, help me find my
confidence and hopefully an the alternative to the spending of a
small fortune. I didn’t feel significantly better until later
that night a light just clicked on in my mind.

I remembered 6 months earlier I had stayed at the couple’s
home while in town for business.The Guest room had been
occupied so I Just crashed on a very comfy couch in the living room.
I was very comfortable besides the old scratchy wool blanket I had
to sleep with.

The Bride to be had apologized numerous times that they had
no extra guest blankets except for old scratchy…

I had it! There were no blankets on the registry, so
I picked out two beautiful quilts that I thought suited
their style. It turns out they had totally forgotten about
their blanket situation and were so grateful and flattered
at my thoughtfulness.

I believe that stress can cloud our judgment and panic does
nothing but damage us and block us from getting peace and
grace that we can receive through prayer and contemplation.
I believe,my story is an example of a little life miracle.

I am very excited to be back in contact with you and I want
to share so many more Happy, touching, hilarious and sentimental
stories with you so that you can feel inspired to do the same
for me!

Thank you so much, Friend, and I hope you enjoyed my
message.

God bless,
Constantin

Our minds are hungry for knowledge and we are calmed and soothed by the teachings of the bible.
It is as if we can read its passages and see beforeus where we have come from and ultimitly where we are headed.

Yesterday as I was prepairing for another long week, I felt that familiar tightness in my neck and those anxious butterflies in my belly. I would recognize those symptoms anywhere, it was the beginnings of stress. Its like a constant battle for most people trying to keep the peace and also juggle hectic lives.
I tried everything I could think of to calm my mind and body.

I still felt tense as if I could just explode from nervous energy, it was strange to say the least.

I sat on the couch and tapped my fingers then I saw my MP3 player (Which I got on eBay at a bargain) laying on the counter. I put on the head phones and started listening to some great christian tunes and suddenly I was inspired! To do what, I didnt know. I searched around the house while the music played in my ears and before I realized it I was out the front door jogging down my street and feeling fantastic!

After my run I came back home with a feeling of sheer exaustion, which soon melted into complete pleasure. The pain in my neck gone, the butterflies in my belly nowhere to be found. I was stress free!

It is easy to be so absorbed with our thoughts and troubles that we forget to take care of our mind and body. There is a way to gather strenth and encouragement from Him for both. I made a small list of some of the songs i listened to on my jog yesterday. Give them a try or make your own list and give you body and mind the release it needs!

• What If His People Prayed
• Meant To Live
• No One Like You
• High Of 75
• Love Them Like Jesus

I Hope you enjoy

Till next time,

Yours Trully,

a real community.

But, that’s not the way life is lived. In fact, I suppose you have to make the mistakes to gain the knowledge. And we all have made our share of mistakes. Without a doubt, there have been many times in my life when things just didn’t turn out right. During some of those times, I found myself wishing I could turn back the hands of time…to start over. I believe those times have occurred in all of our lives. Some have made the wrong career choices and wish they could go back to school to be retrained, but now they must support a family. Some have made a bad business deal and now they are financially ruined.

How they wish they could go back.

A girl finds herself in trouble and her heart is broken. How she wishes she could go back and start over, but it’s too late. A failed marriage disrupts family life and deeply wounds everyone involved. If only we could begin again. These kinds of events occur every day and no one is exempt from them. Think of the things in your life that you would like a chance to change. How sometimes we would desperately like a do-over.

Some people relive the past and recount it in great detail in their mind. All the negative emotions that they felt back then, they feel again. Replaying regret steals our joy as we battle with ourselves emotionally for events that are gone forever. Some individuals simply surrender to the past. They decide that they will never rise above the past and resign themselves to be what the past has made them. Others defy the past and refuse to be
dominated by it. They recognize that while the past is unchangeable, they can do something to change how they deal with their memories.. There are basically three things you must do to conquer your past.

1)Realize the past for what it is…the past. It is over, done,
gone, finished, ended, passed. You can’t change what
happened back then.

2)Realize in constantly remembering and wallowing in the past.
you will always feel discouraged and defeated.This is stealing your
joy. God’s desire is for us is to enjoy life!

3)Recognize what you can do about the past. While you can’t change
what happened, you can change the way you respond to your memories
of the past.

Choose life and the God-given opportunity to begin life anew! Don’t choose to live in the bondage of your past mistakes, failures and shortcomings. I encourage you to choose life!

Go out there and forget midnight and look to the sunrise! Today is a beautiful fresh new day!

Till Next time..

Your friend.

It is really a different world today
than it was 25 years ago.
What has also become more and more
apparent in the last 10 to 15 years
is the loss of innocence and faith
in the younger generations.

Kids grow up too fast and they grow up
differently than we did. There are so many
gadgets, gizmos, and material products
to tempt children from the important aspects
of life and becoming an adult.

Children are faced with risky life
changing choices every day.
11 and 12 year old children are exposed
to things  that we never knew exsisted
until college.

Drugs, sex and violence are a regular
occurence in childrens everyday lives.
There is a way to give your child or
a child who is special to you something
that can protect them and give all the
strength that they will need to make
the right decisions in their lives.
Help someone to realize that faith is
choice that can protect and comfort.
Faith can also give confidence and peace
to a troubled mind. Everthing that God has
taught us can be used to succeed in this
modern time.

Keep your body and mind clean of toxic drugs,
respect and love your fellow man. we all
need to be reminded of those things and
remember that the children are our future.

It is monday and my week is going to be extremely
hectic and crazy.

I could feel the anxiety and tension building. Where
am I gonna start first?

There are just too many options. This is when I calmly reminded
myself to slow down and remember all that I have and to enjoy
my life and renew my faith. Mornings are perfect for this.
I savored my morning brew and used the early minutes
of my long upcoming day to make a connection and to ask
for strenght and guidence.

And this is what I told Him……

“We all need something more than
just our everyday lives and demands. Thankyou
for being what I most desire, we all hunger
for some greater meaning and reason for exsisting.
I am so happy I have found mine.

Thankyou Father,
Amen”

We live in a modern world and we must strive for
our ideal way of living. Nothing is given to us for
free and sometimes life can be overwhelming.

I like to remember that I have something
that does not cost a dime and it is worth more than
any other trinket or treasure. I have my faith and
my mind, and with God’s divine power I can live my best
life through HIM.

When all is in chaos I reach out and I can feel his presence.

Like a smooth calming wave washes over my mind and what is left
is clear and simple. Some of the ways I reach out is through
the scripture and through prayer. I also find that peace through
the voices and writing of others.
