Releasing yourself from judgment of others frees you from thinking small. You see the person for who they are, not your perception of them.
Wouldn’t you want others to look at you the same way, free of preconceived ideas about you? It’s something to consider…
How much time does you spend worrying? However much that is, it’s too much. Most of us don’t have time to waste, so eliminate worry from your life.
Eliminate worry? How? Change your focus. Keep your eyes on the Word of God. There are 365 times in the Bible we are told to not be fearful. That’s one time for every day of the year. I don’t believe that’s coincidental.
Peace of mind will replace worry. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it will happen if you commit…
Texting has made us lazy. Texting is convenient for quick check-ins, but they aren’t conversations.
Electronics have practically taken over our lives. Email, ZOOM and instant messaging are great for saving time. Yet, we need to make time for others. We need human connection, and you cannot get the same effect from a screen.
Replacing the sound of another voice seems to be the norm nowadays. Let’s change that…
We erect walls around ourselves to keep people out. If people get too close and see inside, they might not like us.
When you allow your guard to come down, it encourages others to do the same. We have an opportunity to connect at a deeper level. This creates intimacy. Deep down, don’t we want people we can be close to?
I encourage you to be unguarded. Some people will be judgmental. Those aren’t the people for you. Find your people…
Today is Valentine’s Day, the day to celebrate love. So let’s examine this thing called love.
In America, we use the word freely. I “love” this movie, and I even use it to describe my favorite cheeseburger! But love is a verb.
The Bible gives us the best description of what love really is. The Apostle Paul wrote that love is patient, kind, and it doesn’t want its own way. Love trusts and protects, never wavering.
Celebrate your loved ones today and every day. I believe if you care for someone, you show them every day in some way, not just on Valentines Day…
Our ego is tied to our self-image. Egomaniacs have an inflated sense of self, while people with low self-esteem sell themselves short.
Our ego is attached to our desire to control our environment. We like to believe we are in control of our day and our lives. We aren’t. Separate yourself from your desire to control, letting your ego go in the process. It’s very hard to do because this habit has been built over long periods of time. When you do release your desire to control, you are truly free.
Remember, the only thing we have control over is our attitude…
If the title of this blog didn’t get your attention, check for a pulse.
How do we bless God, the King of the universe? He is the only One who gives and gives. Through His generosity, we woke up this morning. Our hearts and minds work. We can breathe.
We bless our Creator through our faith. By believing in Him, that He is good and only does good in our lives, we are blessing God.
It’s easy to believe when life is going well. Keep believing with unwavering faith when life is a shitshow and you will be blessing God…
It hurts when you find out someone has used you. Conflicting emotions flood your mind, from disbelief to anger. People take advantage of nice people to advance their own selfish agendas.
So what do you do to resolve it? You do something that is counterculture: you pray for them. Praying for the offender doesn’t cancel the hurt. It acknowledges that the offender is for God to handle, not me. He is in charge of human hearts.
Over time, you will find it in your heart to forgive them. And remember to learn from the pain. Then what you went through has purpose…
We are seven weeks into 2023. Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? It’s estimated that 95% of resolutions involve fitness. That’s a good thing.
The bad news is, about 90% of fitness goals are abandoned before the end of January. Old, bad habits return, and self-esteem takes a hit.
Getting fit and staying healthy should be fun! But so many people go about it wrong. They start jogging and eating like a rabbit. Where’s the fun in that? Not to mention you won’t get the results you desire.
Here’s some advice: get a trainer who understands your fitness goals for your body. They will make a plan, and guide you through exercises which will strengthen you and benefit you in the long term. You need to lift weights, and you need to eat. Lifting will make you hungry as hell. Don’t starve yourself! Eat!
If you have given up on your fitness goals for 2023, I encourage you to try again. The only failures are the ones who quit…
Be careful about who you allow into your life. There are lots of people who have outer beauty, but are without substance on the inside.
Learn how to discern the good from the bad. Pray about it. God will answer if you believe He will…
