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
I believe that some churches have done a disservice to God over the years. We have a society of Christians who believe they are worthless because the church has condemned them so much. They think unless you are perfect that you shouldn’t be in church. That is NOT of God. Sinners need to be in church. Once we accept Christ and our past is wiped clean then we are among the kings!!!! We aren’t supposed … 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
A lot of people believe that being vulnerable means that you are weak, when in reality the opposite is true. It takes courage to be vulnerable. You will never live your true self until you can be vulnerable. I have to be honest, I don’t know any other way to be as I have always been that way. I was watching an Oprah Show on OWN and she was interviewing Dr. Brené Brown author of … Continue reading
Earlier today I was in a conversation on Facebook where a woman proclaimed that she is where she is in life only because of herself. She said that she alone gets the credit and no one else. She also called me less of a man because I believe that I have had guidance in life from mentors over the years. She even believes that no person since she became an adult has had any influence … 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
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
