What I know for sure...

In the back of very O Magazine Oprah has a column that she writes herself that is titled, "What I know for sure" and I think it is really good so I thought we could do that here...

I'll go first

I know that I am passionate.
I know that I am growing up to be just like my mother.
I know my worth.

What do you know for sure? (it can be about anything though...)

(Sorry if this thread has been started before, I promise I did a search before I started it!

I know that I'm a good student regardless of what my scholarship coordinator thinks.
I know that I will keep working towards my goal of medical school.
I know that although this professor is being difficult, god willing, I will prevail and recieve the A that have been working so hard for and deserve.

Can't you tell I'm having school problems?

I love this--

I know for sure that if I'm worrying, I'm not praying. And if I'm praying, then I'm not worrying.

I know for sure that if there is confusion in the heart, God is not there.

I know for sure that God has sent a very special man into my life, and I love him to pieces.

I know for sure that my sons are the greatest children God has allowed to draw breath.

I know for sure that trouble don't last always.

I know for sure that I AM BLESSED, GOD IS REAL, AND HE HAS THE MOST WONDERFUL PLANS FOR ME.

I know for sure that GOD is good--ALL THE TIME!!!

I know that God is real.
I know better than to believe everything that is said.
I know that a change is going to come.
I know that I am worth the wait.
I know that family is so important.
I know that I will get into a great graduate school! (Let's pray on that!)

I know that God is merciful!!!!
I know that I am kind of bratty (after years of denying it, I've finally accepted it).
I know that I am competitive.
I know that I love children.

I know that everything is going to fall into place for everyone involved...
I know that sometimes we have to take a risk to gain...
I know that everything always works out...

That all things work together for those that love the Lord.
That I love my hubby and kids.
That material things do not define happiness but damn it they help

That crown and coke is the most soothing beverage on planet earth.
That teaching is rewarding
That no matter what Moms always makes it better

I know life is too short to be unhappy in any area.
I know life is a gift and precious.
I know that God is real for I can feel Him in my soul.
I know the best is yet to come because my season is finally coming through.
I know that we will be blessed.
