Subject: continue Author: Chauna M. Howard [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:06:02 09/01/02 Sun CONGRATS HOLLY AND ERIKA AND AMY!!! All three of you sound super--Erika, you must know I think you are great! I am proud to be your princess! I don't know you personally Holly, but you seem to be radiant--absolutely shining with the blessings of life and all that God gives each of us. I must agree with the others when I say I hope to be just a fraction of the woman you are. I want to keep doing this message board after all the official work is done--it is so great having this multi functioning, better than calling everyone, system. I have loved learning about so many of you and realizing how challenging each of our lives can be and how we continue to overcome obstacles that, hate to say it but it's true--Satan puts in our paths. Before I competed in PPP this summer my Bible study teacher told me that Satan would try to steal God's blessings if I let him. One day I was so mad and upset about the whole pageant and traveling that I went out and mowed the whole yard while I cried and prayed and told Satan to leave me alone!!! Even on the way out of the drive to go to Atlanta I wrecked my van, but I looked up to God and smiled!!! That's what we have to do--smile because we should know that each of us is a winner and a wonder to God and we shouldn't let anyone or anything ever make us think differently. You might for a second, but then remember...YOU ARE GREAT and through adversity that greatness prevails! Well, I'll get off my soapbox. I didn't mean to get carried away, but I do find sometime people overlook that which God brings into our lives. I think we have been using a unique opportunity to share ourselves and our burdens with each other. Through the years I have learned that the sharing eases and releases the feelings we wish we didn't have, but they are natural and part of who we are and should not be locked away and be ashamed of. Sharing them helps others overcome as well. No one is ever alone and pageant sisters need to stick together!!!! I must go clean up things--the van is unpacked and the kitchen and the laundry room are full :( Chauna [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
