Here are a few thoughts, notes, "meditations" and prayers from my "little black and yellow books" that I've jotted down over the years. They have sustained, uplifted and encouraged me through the many dark days and served to "chart my course, or rather untrodden track."

Started posing in my "little" ebook on 7th March 2011 and I'll update from time to time... When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith and love be the wings that carried you there." - as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts "The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God's podium that anyone stand on." - craig Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win. craig 11/11/11 PS "I don't believe in setting goals, but rather going after your dreams." "Write it into existence." "Together, you and I let's march into a bright new tomorrow." "Look upward and you go within" "We have it within; but we get it all from without.

God has a unique plan for YOUR life. "Submit and surrender", trust and depend on God (putting God at the centre, the focal point of your life). BELIEVE and ask in prayer Expand possibilities. Develop hope. "God use my little life as a focus for Your infinite, endless possibilities Fit my little dream into Your plan for the world Be a channel for Your peace, a window for Your light to shine through to everyone I meet "Lord Increase my faith and use me. Fill me with knowledge of Your will. Show me Your glory." "There are no borders...only far and great horizons." "Lord, Expand my sense of possibility through hope. Broaden my horizons for all the rich promises you have in store for me." Be a light of hope to others. Be a spark that lights the flame of hope in others. Shine YOUR bright light on the world May you ALL see God's bright l
About the Author: Craig is an extensive world traveller (on a "shoestring budget") and failed professional emigrater who has spent most of his lifes savings on airfares. He is still sliding down the razor blade of life on the beautiful undiscovered island that is New Zealand, somewhere near the bottom (rude!) of the world near Antarctica. There he talks to the 60 million sheep! Through a rather strange set of circumstances and finding himself in a small town near the bottom of the world ...and with nothing else to do, he started writing. Craig loves to encourage and empower people to be the best they can possibly be, and to encourage, help and support people in creating what they most want in life "Together, one mind, one life (one small step at a time), let's see how many people (and lives) we can encourage, impact, empower, enrich, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials...and strive for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams."
