What If You Had No More Excuses?

Happy Mother’s Day!
I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of the awesome and amazing Mother’s out there a very Happy Mother’s Day. There is no one as special as a Mother. You are also so often unappreciated. So, I am taking the time to let you know that you are appreciated and loved.
Enjoy your special day. You deserve it.
Lord bless you!
Become the Change
You must become the change you wish to see in the world. –Mohandas K. Gandhi, Indian Political and Spiritual Leader (1869-1948)
I think that this means that we are responsible for what we want in this life. If you want more love, give more love. If it’s forgiveness, then forgive. If it’s happiness, then do a good deed to brighten someone’s day. And if it’s joy and freedom that you feel the world needs, then lead the world to Jesus Christ as He commanded us to do! He is the only way to true freedom, peace and joy.
I think that this can Continue reading
After The Storm, Comes The Sun
After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear open skies.—Samuel Rutherford, Scottish Clergyman (1600-1661)
Nothing lasts forever. Just as no good thing lasts continually neither does any bad thing. If you are going through a rough patch right now remember that every storm must end. And when it does the days will be bright and sunny again. In the meantime just keep your eyes on the Lord and He will see you through. He always does.
Lord bless you
How Far Can You Go?
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go—T.S. Eliot, British poet, critic (188-1965)
I believe that this post touches on something that I have spoken about in an earlier post in the series that bears mentioning again. Continue reading
Everyday is Blessed!
There is no such thing in anyone’s life as an unimportant day—Alexander Woolcott, American Writer (1887-1943)
I will keep this post as short and sweet as possible because I believe that this quote is easily understood.
Every single day is a blessed day. Everyday. You woke up this morning. You’re alive. You have your health, your family, your friends. You hopefully have a roof over your head and food in your belly. What do these things make you? They make you blessed!
Each and everyday is an opportunity for change and even greater blessing. There is NO such thing as an unimportant day! Not one iota!
There are some Continue reading
You’ve got to face it to change it
Fear is a dangerous thing. It is one of Satan’s greatest weapons against us. Fear will keep us in our present circumstances because we will be too afraid to move forward.
It is true that we can’t fix or change everything that comes our way. But we won’t know how much we are capable of, if we aren’t willing to step out of ourselves long enough to even begin to face the things that come our way head on.
What are you going through right now? Are you sick enough of your present situation to try to change it? God is not always going to remove everything we struggle with out of the way. Sometimes we have to just have faith and trust Him as we move forward to make the changes ourselves.
There are lots of people in the church that have this mentality that says Continue reading
From Impossible to Possible
The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them to the impossible – Arthur C. Clarke, British Writer (b. 1917)
Get out there and try something new. Do something that you’ve been wanting to do, but have been telling yourself you can’t do. Nothing is impossible with God. NOTHING! It’s important that we remember that. We should actually make a point of reminding ourselves of that very fact daily.
When we don’t believe God’s Word I believe that we put limits on what He can do in our lives. In Matt 13:58 when Jesus went back to His hometown it says “And He did not many works there because of their unbelief.” KJV
When we have no faith Continue reading
Life: A Daring Adventure?
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.—Helen Keller American Writer, Educator (1880-1968)
Life is what you make it plain and simple. Yes, we all have obstacles in our way. These obstacles can sometimes make life hard. But, in spite of those things are you living life or just existing? Are you filled with the joy only God can give? Or is life just something you must suffer through? Continue reading
