“Our society is filled with runaways, dropouts, and quitters. The epidemic of walking away has hit our land with effects as devastating as the bubonic plague, and it has destroyed millions of effective lives and relationships. We are so self-centered that we have ceased to lay down our lives for others. We have seen others faint or walk away and we have followed in their weakness. We have fainted when we could have persevered by exchanging our strength for His! With His strength, not only could we have kept on walking, we could have run!” SelfRunningWalksMillionsOur LivesLandEffectsWalkingWeaknessFilledLaysDestroyedOur SocietyPlagueSelf CenteredEpidemicsWalking AwayRunawayExchangingQuitterLive For OthersDropoutsBubonic Plague Book:God, How Can I Live?

“There are a lot of voices inside of us. We have the voices of our parents, our grandparents, our society, our bosses, our own should's and shouldn'ts, and our self-worth is in us, controlling us a lot.

That voice within is there to guide us through all aspects of our lives.” ShouldBelieveSoulSelfPastI BelieveParentVoiceOur LivesDivineHigherAspectConnectedGuidesCoreSelf WorthOur SocietyBossGrandparentHigher Self Author:Echo Bodine
