A Personal Journey Thoughts on life and "the spiritual journey" "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Tags (key words): spirit, "the spiritual journey", craig's thoughts, meditations, prayer, prayer diary Following on from https: //www.amazon.com/Sharing-Personal-Thoughts-Uplifting-Meditations-ebook/dp/B007I6QKS0 https: //www.amazon.com/God-Racing-Writing-spiritual-experience-ebook/dp/B013LHC09W and https: //craigsbooks.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/god-racing-and-writing/ Sharing Some Personal Thoughts (Uplifting), Meditations and Prayers (from my "little black and yellow books") Just sharing some rather "personal stuff". 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." I hope, I trust that they may also help, encourage and uplift... and perhaps even inspire you through the "valleys of life." Enjoy craig "Together, one mind, one soul, one life at a time, let's see how many people we can impact, empower, uplift and encourage to reach their fullest potentials." 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. There is a well-spring of strength, wisdom, courage and great imagination within each one of us; but once we draw on this truth, it gets watered from without, by a Higher Source - the Ultimate Source of Life and Love, which is God, the very Ground of our Being." - me One's inseperable relationship with God leads to health, security, peace of mind and true happiness. 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 light on the road up ahead.
About the Author: About twenty-five years ago, through a strange set of circumstances and finding himself in a small town near the bottom of the world ....and with nothing else to do, Craig started writing. About 150 books later, this "techno-dummy/bunny" started learning more about the publishing process from his "technoggeek" friend, Bill. Together with Bill, Craig developed the original and hugely popular" Online Creative Writing Course(s) (in 1997). "Life is about finding, then following the dream and one's dream/vision comes to reality through believing in yourself, making the commitment and then creating it." "All our dreams can come true...if we have the desire (burning), courage, passion, persistence and patience* to pursue them...long enough." -c * the "three pees" from www.craigsquotes.wordpress..com PPS "Together, one mind, one life at a time, let's see how many people we can impact, encourage, empower, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials....and strive for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams."
