A Better You…

Choosing to make you a better you requires courage and consistency and giving up all excuses. You keep working even when no one is watching or supporting you. To quote Maya Angelou “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

Advice…

Sometimes when a person tells you what they think is best for you to do, it may really be what is best for them for you to do. All advice is best tempered with prayerful consideration.

Prayer…

Prayer is a spiritual safe and sacred space to express our hopes, fears and desires; to be comforted, guided and inspired by God. No special equipment or credentials or time or place are required to pray. You can start and stop, pick up later where you left off or jump in at a moments notice with any topic; there is no charge and no waiting. A simple process to access profound power.

Or fester like a sore and then run? … Maybe it sags like a heavy load.” And then in rage explodes!

Love is…

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Focus…

When we are anxious and frustrated we can accomplish some things but when we are calm and focused we can accomplish so much more and perhaps even enjoy the journey. So take time to still yourself, breath and focus your disposition. This can make the most tedious tasks or difficult duties worthwhile.

The Gift…

The world says, “innocent until proven guilty.” God says, “guilty when guilty proven or not.” The world says, “do jail time to pay your debt to society.” God says, “Christ has paid it all and you are forgiven.” Now how shall you live with the gift you’ve been given?
