Direction

We must asked ourselves this question: Am I going in the direction of where I want my life to turn out? We do have a choice to change directions if the answer is no. Change might cause some discomfort, yet traveling down an unknown road is exciting. Be brave. Take the step…

Be Heard

There are people in the world who feel like they don’t matter. The pandemic ravaged mental health, and every day there are people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

Everyone matters to God. He didn’t create us to forget about us. If your fellow man is hurting, help him and help him help himself. Speak up for the marginalized, the voiceless. Doing what’s right is rarely easy, and sometimes you have to stand alone. Stand up and be heard…

Transformation

Recently, we began a new year. This is a time where people decide they want to make changes in their lives, and “leave the old behind.”

Real transformation happens when we are ready and willing to change. It can’t be forced, and change is available to us every day, not just at the beginning of a new year. Our mindset will determine our outcome…

Really?

We are living in a unique period in time. We have news shoved in our faces 24/7, immediate home delivery of everything from groceries to alcohol, and we can reach our friends on the phone anytime…anywhere.

With these luxuries comes great responsibility. We are still called to work, be respectful and courteous to our fellow man, and raise our children the right way in a world that’s new to us. We cannot let decency die out as technology dominates our lives. Be kind. Always…

Inflation

These days, you cannot go one day without hearing about inflation. Inflation is like a tax we pay without legislation.

But what about other types of inflation like inflated egos, inflated truths (lies) and inflated expectations? We can live humbly, tell the truth and set realistic expectations without legislation. Think about it…

Be Yourself!

All of us want to feel accepted. We want others to like us. Sometimes this desire to be included leads us to act like someone we aren’t.

It’s more important to live authentically, to show the world our true selves. When we live true to our inner spirit, we are the same person no matter the crowd we are in. We are ourselves…

Show Yourself!

People are guarded. They are afraid to show who they truly are because of the fear of judgment. We are created in the image of God. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does he second guess himself.

People will judge you no matter what. However, they have no authority over your life. Authority belongs to God alone, and He sees who we truly are. Live your life to please Him, not the world…

Trials

Trials are placed in our lives to grow us…to strengthen us. We have a choice when faced with challenges: we can rise to the challenge or we can shrink from it. To rise, think of the trials of life as opportunities. It might not make what you are going through any easier, but it gives purpose to the challenge…
