Good morning. When you build your happiness on someone else’s dream, you can lose it in a heartbeat. But when you seek and discover what truly makes you happy, you hold the key. Happiness. Discover it. Own it. Live it.

Peace – Kimberly

Good evening. What we love sometime resurfaces in the weirdest ways. The earlier you acknowledge it, the quicker you can get right back into it.

Easy To Please

Good evening. 3 ways to see deep into the hearts of people – look into their eyes, feel their smiles, and see how they react when you tell them that one of your favorite TV shows is “Swamp People.” 2 for 2 in experiencing all 3 today. I’m happy. To one, I say, “keep smiling” and to the other, keep tolerating my “weird, randomness.” Again…I’m happy.

Peace – Kimberly

Morning Calls

Kimberly Cooley — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 03:44:16 +0000

This morning I smiled wider than I have in a while; Almost as if I was watching you smile

Awaken by a voice I’ve missed so much; Strong and bold, yet calming and such

Today was wonderful; beauty in its own view

Today was amazing; I started it with you.

Peace – Kimberly

God Made Me Smile

Kimberly Cooley — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:25:10 +0000

Good morning. At dinner last night, a friend and I were sharing about how this seems to be a season for troubled friendships. Just as we began engaging deeper in the conversation, I was reminded of something my Pastor said Sunday. She said that God is pruning within the lives of His people removing all of the things and/or people that aren’t producing fruit. Talk about a light bulb moment. Couple that with the fact that a friend who knows my heart and whom I hold dear to my heart writing to me at THAT VERY MOMENT letting me know that she’d be making a trip to Mississippi next week! Talk about excited. You may find my excitement elementary or immature because after all we are grown adults, right? Wrong. See, I was in a serious place of hurt due to the recent ending of a really great friendship, and God addressed that hurt by reminding me that 1. people, themselves, can become a god in our life and we can just as easily make them one by putting them on such high pedestals and He “aint” having that. And 2. not all relationships are meant to be for a lifetime and that I must let go. And lastly…He reminded me of the people He has predestined to be in my life by bringing one of them TO me. I emphasize “TO” because normally when I am in a weary place, I go the distance to be among this friend and others. But nope not this time. God said, “Baby girl, I’m bringing them to you!” Priceless and downright AWESOME!

See you next week, Kathy (KNA)!

Peace and Love – Kimberly

I Give Myself Away

“Here I am; here I stand. Lord, my life is in your hands. Lord, I’m longing to see
your desires revealed in me. I give myself away…Take my heart; take my life as a living sacrifice. All my dreams, all my plans, Lord I place them in your hands…My life is not my own. To you, I belong. I give myself to you…I give myself away, so You can use me.” – W. McDowell

Going Green

Good evening. Being consumed by what we don’t have is only a result of ungratefulness for what we do have. If you’re looking for greener grass, water the ground on which you stand. The very fact that you are tending to it just may be what it’s been lacking to flourish. Happiness isn’t always found in new adventures. Sometimes it simply just requires change at home. You dig?

Smilin Up A Storm

Kimberly Cooley — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:48:30 +0000

Good evening. If nothing else, smile. What does it hurt? As a matter of fact, I believe that when we when smile, we activate the ability to light up the world around us. Go ahead. Smile. Smile until something happens. Smile until something changes. Smile until someone smiles back at you. Just smile.

Peace – Kimberly
