Reading through
some old writings of mine I came across some things that stick out to me. I pray these inspire you as they continue to
inspire me…
--- Worry is a sign of a lack of faith, not trusting God and
not growing in Jesus. Plain and simple. It is the truth, and very often the
truth reveals stuff in our lives that we don't like.
--- We need each other. Through the years I have learned
that partners make a big difference. We have to find ourselves in need of like
minded friends. These people touch my life, keep me going and kick me in the
pants when I need it. That's a good thing.
--- How we deal with the stress and struggles of life may
not get us in trouble with the law or take us into combat, but it will give us
strength for every day and purpose to live. Purpose has got to come from God
and no where else.
--- God wants us to see in every way
possible, yet I find people who don't want to see. Maybe its not seeing what God
is up to or they just want what is selfish. I am told that when you loose one
sense, like smell or sight, that all other senses become much better.
--- It is so easy to dwell on the "what ifs" of
life. But to do that, we miss what God has done, is doing and wants to do in
and through our lives. Think about it.
--- Far too many churches and Christians see the differences
in other churches and mock them. It is time to take a second look and
celebrate the differences. We are here to work together for the same
goal. Listen up. We are going to be different. That means we
are going to be creative. And yes, a tailgate party for your anniversary
may sound crazy and different, but it worked big time. We have touched
lives we would never have touched. God did. He did good!
It is incredible to look back, read
some and be challenged bby some of the things you said. These things were just that.
Enlarge your house;
build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense! For you will
soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and
resettle the ruined cities.
