Dilly's Story
Dianna Williams is from Hutchinson, Kansas. She is married with David Keith Campbell. Her schools include Farris Elementary, Central Junior High, Hutchinson High School, Hutchinson Community College, Oklahoma City Community College, University of Arkansas, Anne Arundel Community College , And University of Maryland, Baltimore Pharmacy School.
One of Dianna's favorite quotes is:""Dear children, there is no more precious thing on all God's earth than a loving and grateful heart -- a heart that can forget its own wrongs, but never the love and kindness it has received. Such a heart is the noblest gift a man can possess -- greater than beauty and wealth and talents, and it makes more real happiness in this world than all of these put together. It is like a blessed sunbeam, casting its generous warmth on the good and evil alike, and leaving its precious influence everywhere; and if such a heart is that of a little child, it is all the more beautiful because of its youthful ardor and purity."
Sweet William, by Marguerite Bouvet
Just because people invalidate a person does not mean God in fact ever did. God is good. God is good all the time and people are not...none of us and especially people in groups can be really bad. But all people are good some of the times and His people can be especially good when He is prompting them and touching their heart. Do not lose your faith in humanity just realize that any faith in humanity that is possible is all because of HIm. God is good!!!! He is a champion at using the broken, discarded, left behind, humbled, and those on the fringe. Be encouraged today and revel in the fact that any of us are usable at all and thank Him that He has given you yet another day.
From How to Win Friends and Influence People:
Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save face? He didn't ask for your opinion. He didn't want it. Why argue with him? The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
As my dad (from Bev) used to say: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still
"I sometimes think experience can be a block because if you think you know, you don't ask questions or if you ask, you don't listen to the answers." -- An Episode of Sparrows by Rumer Godden
If you're making excuses for failure, it probably means you don't really want to succeed. When you're focused on what's holding you back, it may mean that your heart is not really in the effort to move forward. Instead of seeking to explain your failures, take an honest look at your intentions. Is there something else you could be doing that would inspire you toward a more positive and effective focus? Instead of finding new excuses for your failures, look for new reasons to succeed. Truly put your heart in what you do, and what you do will do great. (Lee Waldroop)
An empty stomach has no ears (basic needs must be met before the ear has a heart for the deeper questions of life)
For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly]..."(Phil. 3:10)Amplified version also shared verse of One on one with God completers and folks at NWBC
"Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God"
--Jim Elliott
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." -C.S. Lewis
"Perhaps art can give us the possibility of living several times. Every individual can live only once, and only from one perspective. Art can create other lives and different perspectives" Azar Nafisi quoting a filmaker in Iran after the Revolution
God is bring you into places and among people and into conditions in order that the intercession of the Spirit in you may take a particular line. All you circumstances in in the hand of God, therefore never think it strange concerning the circumstances you are in. ---Oswald Chambers
Stop wanting what others have, especially if you are not willing to go through what they have to get it. -- my paraphrase of something I heard someone say once
"The way to tell if a parent is a success is by his grand children---and not by his children. Sometimes it takes a generation for a mistake to show up. Joseph Stall Pathway publishing
and I wld + a generation to undo messed up parenting
"Time is too slow for those who wait
Too swift for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who rejoice
But for those who love Time is eternity" .....and love gave his life so that we could have eternity

s appreciated. Well.... thanks Lord for the opportunity to appreciate so many things
We tend to like that which we are good at. and we tend to practice things we like. Repetition breeds more success. It is a cycle that can eliminate the ability to develop skills that are not immediately enjoyable. --- try something hard today. What dianna tells her students
"I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know." Job 29:16
OUT OF AFRiCA "I do not think that he could have come in with other people if he had wanted to; early in his life something in him had been twisted or locked, and now it was, so to say, to him the normal thing to be out of normal. Isak Dinesen
Once advice becomes practical and personal from a person who is approachable it becomes memorable and applicable.
Once you realize that how others act affects your disposition, it is a short step to a realization that how we act affects other people as well. We don't have to let our moods affect our our choice to behave lovingly though.... regardless of how we feel. Sometimes one persons choice to act loving regardless of the actions of another can turn relationships around. Lord I believe it in my mind teach my heart too.
Charlotte Mason -- Good Habits are the best magistrates
Romans 12:15
Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they're happy; share tears when they're down. Get along with each other; don't be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don't be the great somebody.
The Good in life can come wrapped in ugly wrapping or the bad can be wrapped beautifully. However it happens we trust God's hand to deal it out rightly. I may complain or make commentary along the way.
** The believer in God must explain one thing, the existence of sufferings; the nonbeliever, however, must explain the existence of everything else **
We serve a God who cares. The Lord will dispatch a heavy dose of His ministering care to one who perceives his need. He know the need before the wounded soul does and he is pleased to do His work in their life because He loves the person we pray for even more than we who ask.".

I am a christian. I accepted the gift Jesus offered of forgiveness and his role as a permanent counselor and guide of my life back in 1984. I used to think I was a pretty good person but I have come to see over time that I am never really going to reach that status. I just try to offer what I have and see how God can use it. He is the great exponential multiplier and I just want to be available and usable. I am a Sanguine Melancholy which means I am a perfectionist who pays attention to the details of what I am interested in......mainly people. This is why I love teaching, working at Walmart and reading about and meeting interesting people.
As far as the nonchristian world judging Jesus because of Christians I have this to say: You can not judge a recipe and say it will not make a good cake if you go based upon the results of someone who did not follow the recipe. Also as far as being put off from Christianity because of the judgemental attitudes of some who name the name of Christ....that is a problem. We often forget that we are to compare ourselves with ourselves and the standard of Christ. IF you compare yourself with another you are comparing an orange to a potato. No one is equipped the same, stirred by the Holy Spirit in the same areas and no one is without sin. What really spoke to me as a nonbeliever was not the high and mighty people that "had it all right." It was the humble improvement I saw in some people with real problems like mine. They did not suddenly become perfect with the acceptance of Christ but I saw that their acceptance of me grew because they suddenly realized they were sinners and had been forgiven much. They also thought enough less of themselves to live for others and they thought enough more of themselves to live for a purpose. I wanted that. I do have a purpose now. I waiver at times and I sin daily. I do think though that I can see improvement in myself over time that only Christ can take credit for. I recommend the journey to anyone. Chart your own path with Christ and do not worry about all those "Christians out there" that you do not want to be identified with. Jesus is the best counselor and comforter in the world. I would also add here that He does tell us in His word not to forsake the assembling of the believers. While it is so hard to live in community as a christian at times it is God's plan for us and it is through the rough edges of another that he smooths the edges we have. By our conflicts and such he makes us smooth polished stones. It is not a fun process but it is the process he uses to prepare us for his GLORY.".
