It takes our muscles about 7 days to get used to a particular workout. When that happens, the workout becomes less effective and growth happens at a slower rate. A good trainer will switch up your routine often. This causes what some call ‘muscle confusion’ thereby you arrive at the change you desire faster. Your […]
The past is a great teacher, but be careful not to learn the wrong thing. Sometimes negative experiences can alter our expectations and we’re afraid to trust God because the past was such a disappointment. However God has promised to meet our need not according to what happened ‘last time’, but according to His riches […]
When God forgives our sins, he takes them from us and throws them into the proverbial sea of forgetfulness and posts a sign that says ‘No Swimming’. The sad part is how much time we stand by the sea shore contemplating how we can STILL dive in anyway. Those forgiven sins aren’t yours anymore… so […]
Seasons exist because the earth revolves around the sun. So before you declare that you are ‘awaiting your season’ remember you’re always in a season and that season is there based on your position with the ‘SON’. When undesireable seasons appear just know that you are moving in your rotation but you’re NEVER out of […]
As you change your life for the better, there are some people you may have to cut off just so that you can reintroduce them to the NEW you. Some may prefer the old you. That’s their option. You have chosen to put yourself high on your list of priorities. And that’s your option. 1 […]
Sometimes the Lord removes his child from the fire. Other times He joins him. There are times that the fire in our lives is needed to burn off some undesireable ‘stuff’. If after you’ve prayed the fire is still there, know that there’s something to be learned in it and the God is with you […]
Despite whether the party you voted for won or not, don’t forget that God is the one that is ULTIMATELY in control. There have been 44 presidents over time but only ONE Lord! His seat is not and will never be up for re-election. As long as you are in line with THE King of […]
Before it was a RIGHT, a people made it their RESPONSIBILITY. I’m talking about voting. They had their great, great, great grandchildren in mind when they were being hosed, beaten and some even killed. Long lines weren’t an issue. Weather was not an issue. Nor was ridicule or embarrassment. We have the right to vote […]
Internationally renowned author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer said ‘What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside you.’ If it’s not inside, it can’t ‘slip out’. Nothing typically ‘just happens’. Load up on the good stuff so that when pressure comes (and it will) you will be proud of your […]
American rabbi and author Sidney Greenberg said ‘Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.’ I find it amazing that people who are doing the most are hated on by those who are doing the least. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you […]
A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel. I have to CONSTANTLY remind myself that when things go wrong.. NOT to go wrong with them. Typically whenever I feel like ‘losing it’, it’s a result of the fact that I didn’t cover myself well enough in prayer that morning. If you see someone […]
Most of us are typically happy when there are no uncomfortable challenges in our lives. There is nothing wrong with that. However, when change is required, challenge is necessary.
