"When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you're slamming the door in the face of God.”
Charles L. Allen
Ordained Methodist Pastor

Break out... Write down something that you want God to do in your life and put that piece of paper somewhere you will see it everyday. And every time you see it, pray for it. Because nothing is impossible with God.

You can do Something
"It's been my observation that many people fail, not because they are doing the wrong things, but because they don't do the right things long enough. While it is a theory that I have never tested, they tell me you can break a rock with a pencil if you tap it enough times. The lesson? Perseverance. Getting back up. You are so important to this world and the plan that God has for it. Don't let discouragement rob you of your destiny. Have you deemed yourself little Mr. Nobody from Nowhere? You say, 'But I am only one!' Edward Everet Hale wrote, 'I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.

Never Give Up!
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.”

SO WHAT
"As I sit here alone with my thoughts tonight, I remember some of the times I have failed, fallen and messed up. Some of those events were more than flubs; they were fiascos. One could wonder why I am still here, enjoying the blessed life. The answer is twofold: first, it's because of the grace and mercy of a loving God Who is not the God of a second chance, but the God of another chance. Secondly, I am still here because at the point of my most grievous and embarrassing fall I made a decision to get up and give it another shot. When you fail, you will hear the voices of a crowd who is eager to brand you 'Failure'. But please know there are other voices to be heard; the voice of God and those of hundreds of other christians who are cheering you on. Never give up!"
