"WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH MAY HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE YOU OUT, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE GOD'S PERMISSION!" GOD IS ABOUT TO BLESS YOU BEYOND WHAT YOU ASKED FOR! "FAITH DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT OKAY. INSTEAD, IT'S KNOWING YOU WILL BE OKAY NO MATTER HOW THINGS TURN OUT." Lord, I surrender anything & everything that’s not in Your Will for my life. Thank You for the grace to let go and the strength to move on. I thank You that nothing is meant for me miss me and that everything arrives at Your perfect time and not mine. In Jesus's Name, I Pray, Amen! SOMETIMES IT'S NOT THE DEVIL, IT'S OUR DELIBERATE DECISIONS THAT HAVE HARMED US THE MOST. LET PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY BE OUR AIM THIS YEAR! "I'VE BEEN LET DOWN, I'VE BEEN PUT DOWN, I'VE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN, I'VE FALLEN DOWN, AND STILL GOD HAS NEVER ONCE FAILED TO HELP ME BACK UP AGAIN!" A GOOD NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS IS A FULL-TIME JOB, STAY EMPLOYED! "WHAT YOU COULDN'T HANDLE, IS NOW HANDLED! LOVE, GOD!"
God is big enough to handle our honest feelings. He’s not afraid of our doubts or our questions. And His Truth won't leave us, even when our gut-honest cries don't sound so Christian. If it values skin color instead of our oneness in Christ then it's not a church.
Very near and strong is the connexion between peace and truth. - John Newton
"He is Alpha, and he is Omega; he is the Author and he is also the Finisher of our faith." -
Charles Spurgeon
As the tree falleth, so it must lie. —John Owen, on the irreversible state of dying in Christ, or dying in sin; Works 6:517
“One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness.” - C.S. Lewis
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you. Lifestyle is the art of discovering ways to live uniquely.
Some people have learned to earn well, but they haven't learned to live well.
Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems in style.
Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the ability to take action. You don't need to be hasty if it isn't required, but you don't want to lose much time either. Here's the time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.
THE LAW OF DIMINISHING INTENT
We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to do something when the emotion is high. But if we don't translate that intention into action fairly soon, the urgency starts to diminish. A month from now the passion is cold. A year from now it can't be found.
There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect starts as an infection. If you don't take care of it, it becomes a disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of all, when neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.
"Preparation positions people correctly, and it is often the separation between winning and losing. Talent-plus people who prepare well live by this motto: 'All's well that begins well.'"
In Beyond Talent, John Maxwell explains that "Preparation doesn't begin with what you do. It begins with what you believe. If you believe that your success tomorrow depends on what you do today, then you will treat today differently… If you are preparing today, chances are, you will not be repairing tomorrow."
With many roles and tasks to fulfill, the challenge is fighting the urge to cross items off too quickly. Constant workflow means that we don't have time to repair, so we must prepare as best as possible.
