It is amazing how wor ds can haunt a person!
I attended a high school graduation party this past weekend! It was great to see this person graduate! She is a sweet girl and one full of love. When she was in grade school there were teachers who said she would never graduate! Well, they were wrong! She did graduate this past weekend. If she had listened to these teachers she would have given up!
When I was in my first marriage, my husband told me that I was not smart enough to go school! I believed him, why I don't know! I gave up my dream of wearing a black gown just to please him. I chose to listen to his words rather than my own words. I am happy to say that this past May I graduated from Purdue University and I got to wear that black gown AND I did so on the Dean's list with semester honors for seven semesters! I knew I was smart enough, I just never gave myself credit!
Words are extremely powerful! Watch what you say AND how you say them! Use your words to uplift and not destroy! It is no wonder that the Bible says "Their tongue is a sharp sword" (Psalm 57:4).
