Quotes... Quotes... Quotes!
Quotes are everywhere. Some are inspirational. Some are happy. Some sad. Some are funny. Others disturbing. Quotes are found on billboards, coffee mugs, t-shirts, necklaces, journals, etc. The list goes on and on. Quotes are EVERYWHERE we look! Either way quotes are a part of history --- history in the making sometimes.
I would love to have a famous quote someday that is published on a mug or t-shirt somewhere. It would be something that would live on and perhaps inspire someone else hundreds of years down the road. But hopefully I have already left my mark on society. I hope that instead of my words, my actions are remembered. I want people to remember what I have done for them. How I have a passion for teaching my students.... how I love to dance even though it's not my strongest talent.... how I am not afraid to speak my mind... but above all my faith in Jesus Christ. That is the most important thing of all.
The other night I was inspired to watch End of the Spear. The movie is a true story about Jim Ellion and other missionaries who gave their lives to spread the gospel in the jungles of South America. I have read many books by Elizabeth Elliot (his wife) and Jim Elliot's journals through his missions. These men were so inspiring by the way they lived out their faith. I want that same legacy... to be known for living for Christ each and every day!
Here are some inspiring quotes that inspire me on a daily basis:
"Not all who wander are lost." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose. - Jim Elliot
The way I see it is if you want to see the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain. ~ Dolly Parton
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. - Audrey Hepburn
