I’m impatient. We live in what I call a “FedEx Society” where we want it now. I want it yesterday. Life doesn’t work instantly. It takes time to build a home, grow tomatoes or raise children.
Slow down a little. Invest time in what you are involved in. Live with purpose, not impatience…
All of us have heard fishing stories before, and the stories get better every time the person tells it.
But what about the stories we tell ourselves? We are lying to ourselves when we tell ourselves we aren’t good enough, that we shouldn’t try anything new because we will fail. The truth is, God created us. We are good enough. He wants us to succeed.
God didn’t create us and then forget about us. Trust Him…
Are you chasing anything? Maybe it’s success, a partner, health and wellness, or fulfillment. I believe we are all looking for something more than what life offers.
The only thing that will truly fill our heart’s desire is spiritual. And the funny thing is, the Spirit is chasing us. Let Him catch you…
Hope is a very big subject to write about. You could be hopeful that someone asks you to dinner, or if you are facing a terminal illness, you are hoping for one more Christmas with your family.
Hope is all we have sometimes. No matter what you are going through, stay hopeful. Always…
I have always been different. I like to say that I march to the beat of a different drummer, but it’s a great rhythm. Find your rhythm…
Everyone experiences heartache and pain. Sometimes it’s so severe you don’t believe you will get through it, after the loss of a child, for example.
Pain can be used for purpose. Think of it as fuel that intensely drives you to bring good from the bad. Doing good in the world won’t take away the hurt and pain, but at least you will know it wasn’t wasted…
Being content gives you peace. It doesn’t mean you are devoid of ambition or drive. Not at all. Contentment means you are grateful for all the good in your life. You aren’t taking anything for granted.
I’m more ambitious now than I have ever been. But if I don’t accomplish anything else, I’m content with that…
Does love last? The singers sing about it. The poets write about it. Yet we have a 50% divorce rate for first marriages, and the divorce rate rises for second and third marriages. Something isn’t right!
Perhaps we should consider the wise advice of the great Apostle Paul who wrote: “Love is patient, kind, and never wants it’s own way.” Something to consider…
We live in a culture that says, “look at me!” Much of what we see is hollow, shallow and meaningless.
Quiet confidence is attractive. There’s no need to call attention to yourself because you have a bigger calling.
Work hard. Stay humble. Believe in yourself and be confident…
Everyone has unique talents and abilities, our gifts. They were given to us by the Creator to use for His purposes. It is our responsibility to do the work. Otherwise our lives are wasted.
