When things that are out of your control or others control do you get upset and take it out on people? Do you explode if you don’t get your way? We all go through situations that we really don’t want to be bothered with but it is how you go through them that makes all the difference. I can remember many years ago I was flaying back to Savannah and the flight was timed where … Continue reading
When someone goes through something bad you always hear people trying to give them advice that time will heal them but is that even true? I would have to say that it is 100% wrong advice because time never heals. It is what you do with that time that makes healing possible. If you have bad things happen to you in and you never deal with what happened thinking that time will eventually heal your … Continue reading
What do you do when things don’t go as planned? You move forward, I hope. You can’t allow things that happen to change who you are, because who you are isn’t that particular situation but who you are is in Christ. When you are in Christ you can roll with the punches as they come. Some of those punches may sting in life, but you still have to move forward in Faith. Here is an … 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
Why do you take out the trash? It is trash right? What happens when you take the trash out? Do you ever go back and check on it to make sure it is at the dump? How do you know the garbage people took it there? Do you even care? Of course not then why do you do that with your past? Shouldn’t you treat your past the way you treat your trash? You should … Continue reading
God taught me a powerful lesson today. One of my goals this year was to not talk about politics. I really get into it and needed a break from it. I am talking about a yearly break. You could call it a sabbatical from politics so to speak. Well I was sitting out in the car at Walmart waiting on Sandy to grab a few things when I saw a friend of mine. I waved … Continue reading
When it comes to living for Christ nothing is as important as your heart. I see so many people who are serving Christ but they are as mean as you get. Is this what Jesus said should happen? If you don’t believe the way they do then they criticize you for your personal beliefs. I am not talking here about people who are concerned about someone’s behavior, I am talking about most Christians who take … Continue reading
So many people in life are trying to do too much at one time and over time they will burn themselves out. Sometimes you have to just take a break from some things so that you can re-energize your mind and soul. I had to do that recently. As you have noticed I haven’t written anything for 8 days. I was putting way too much pressure on myself not only to write everyday but I … Continue reading
Decisions that change those around us: Yesterday, I talked about decisions that change us but today we will talk about those decisions that we make that change others around us. What many people don’t realize is that their decisions affect people closest to them. When we make bad decisions it pours over into our families. I will use some of the same examples as yesterday. If you robbed someone in order to stay afloat then … Continue reading
Have you ever went through something and just knew that there is no way that something good can come out of this? That is usually how God works. He takes your mess and creates a message. He gives you a test and creates a testimony. He can take your trial and turn it into a triumph. He can make you into a victor from being a victim. There are many times when bad things happen … Continue reading
