"Who Me??? No, I'm not arrogant, conceited, nor prideful. I'm saved, yet I sometimes fall and it takes all that I DON'T have to get back up; strengthened through the storm. If it weren't for God's hand holding mine, I'd likely have fallen to my death long ago. Like everyone else, I'm human, yet unique in my own way. I've lied at times to keep from disappointing & hurting the hearts of the those that I love, and those that love me in an attempt to protect them, yet I've learned that I was still in err, so I began confessing my faults. (James 5:16) However, I'm grateful that God knows I've NEVER misrepresented myself, or lied about who I am. My faults have fueled my faith; my pain has propelled my purpose; my trials have formed my testimony... I may be made of flesh & blood, yet I thank God that I'm not fake & fraud." - Erron R. Johnson

"The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him. I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed. Depart from evil and do good; and you will dwell forever [securely]." - Psalm 37:23-26 (AMP)
