What do you do when you feel called by God, but it is completely the opposite direction of where you are going? Some people don’t believe that God will change your direction, but I know this to be true. Many times you are working toward your dreams, but it is not the path where God is trying to lead you. I have read many stories where people have been called and, at that moment, they … Continue reading
Sometimes when God calls you, you have to burn your old life. What would you do if God told you that he had a better direction for you but you had to quit what you were doing and follow him? That is exactly what Elisha did! He burned his plows, cooked all his meat, and then followed Elijah. 1 Kings 19:21 – So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and … Continue reading
So many people work so hard at protecting their identity from identity thieves, but they forget the biggest thief of them all and that is satan. He creates lies that you believe and steals who God called you to be. Remember, do not allow who you think you are to stop you from becoming who God called you to be. If you are a Christian then you are worthy of his love. There is nothing … Continue reading
I was watching one of the Oprah Super Soul Sundays Shows on OWN and she was interviewing Dr. Robin Smith, author of the book Hungry. She talked about being emotionally anorexic and I was like now that is a powerful statement. So, I then thought about being spiritually anorexic using the same analogy. What do people who are anorexic do? They starve themselves because of a lie that they believe within themselves that they are … Continue reading
As I look at my life, I am 41 years old and I have to ask will my life even matter when I am gone? My goal is to make the changes I need to make so that I leave my footprint in this world. Are you leaving a footprint? Will your life even matter if you died today? I hope you really think about that question because we all can get so bogged down … Continue reading
As I look at life and the people around me I hear many people say that my life is good enough. What people don’t realize is that a good enough life is the enemy of God’s purpose because God’s purpose is the best possible way to live. If you know without a doubt that you are living within God’s purpose for your life then that is awesome! Keep doing what you are doing but I … Continue reading
When I say the word prison what do you think of? You think of a cell that holds people who have done things wrong right? But what if I told you that many people who have never done anything wrong are in their own prison because of their past? This prison may not have bars but it is just as powerful. I talk a lot about the past in my articles because I believe our … Continue reading
What really is the meaning of life? I don’t know about you but I want to do something that not only touches lives before I die but also that out lives me. I don’t want to just live an average life where you just go to work, do what society says you are supposed to do and just live life in quiet desperation. There really has to be more to life than living that way … Continue reading
What is your story? We all have a story to tell. Yours will touch people that mine will not and mine will touch people that yours will not. There is so much power in your story. That is one reason why Jesus taught in stories or parables because of the power within them. We learn faster when there is a story behind it. We stay tuned into them because they are more interesting. You may … Continue reading
As you look at the world, are you living a what if life? Are you so concerned about what is going on that you have to have everything in order before you do anything? What are you waiting on?
