I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.
I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn.
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.
I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you the facts of life, but I can't build your reputation.
I can tell you about drink, but I can't say "no" for you.
I can warn you about drugs but I can't prevent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can't achieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness, but I can't force you to be gracious.
I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you moral.
I can love you as a child, but I cannot place you in God's family.
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can teach you about Jesus, but I cannot make Jesus your Lord.
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.
I can love you with unconditional love all of my life . . . and I will!!!

ALL ABOUT ME

im a very friendly person...at first im really snobbish but once you get to know me im the complete opposite! (",)
i am blessed with a great deal of physical energy when used for a good cause there is nothing that can stop me, except
maybe that they aren't always used for the good...i respond to the thrill of the chase and the challenge of the mating game...
i can carry on great romances in my head...at heart i am a roamer and i need to set out on my own every so often...i am
idealistic and i believe in love i wish i could have my "TRUE HAPPINESS"

SOMETHING

"If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay."
"Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache"
"The only person you can control in a relationship is you"
"Don't fall for the "I'm confused role". Remove yourself from the situation to let him figure things out (but don't wait for him, move on)."
