Like many living in the path of Hurricane Ida, I became obsessed with the latest storm tracking. However, watching the updates hour after hour only seemed to cause a flood of anxiety in my spirit. I did not want to lose my power, and then God reminded me about His power in my life!
In a world that celebrates image over reality, it’s no wonder that most of us hide behind a facade. Every photo is strategically staged and edited to produce maximum feedback. Life, however, is seldom that perfect image we put out there for all to see.
It’s always something, isn’t it, we get through one problem and another pops up. I want to share with you what helps me keep my sanity and stay positive. I want you to think about all the adversity that you have gone through in life. It has been tough for most of us, but we are here. We have survived and we must not go backward.
I found a spot on a hill and parked under an oak tree. I needed to think about my future. As I looked around, I noticed a few hundred feet away there stood a dilapidated old farmhouse with a “For Sale” sign stuck in front of it.
Are there people who, just don’t like you, or perhaps even hate you? We can change this world for good when we live and love like Jesus.
The devil doesn’t mind if you go to church. He wants you to bring your casseroles to the potluck suppers and become a busy volunteer. You feel good and you tell yourself, “I am needed.”
I don’t know if I can pull it off! Those were my thoughts when confronted with producing my first ever event. How many books have never been written or dreams that died because of being afraid? I carry a rock in my pocket as a reminder that I am as dumb as this rock at times, but with Jesus, I can do the impossible.
Do you ever feel like you are walking steps to nowhere? You do all the right things, pray all the right prayers, and yet you don’t seem to make the progress you are capable of.
