New Steps

God orders our steps
Isn't it a great feeling when you see children walk for the first time?

It's a feeling of jubilation and excitement for a new level for them. Those moments of elation and celebration are prolonged as the parent continues to revel in the new accomplishment their child just took. They are simply besides themselves. What an amazing thing to experience. Such a proud moment.

It's a new beginning. 

It's a new way of thinking for kids, a new way for them to act and interact, a new way of being. It's a fascinating world of possibilities that have just opened up to them. Now they will be able to explore a bold new world. From their newfound curiosity and freedom, they will understandably get into things. A lot of things. Some good and some not so good. Some things they will like and some things not so much. Nevertheless they are seeing a new set of opportunities and their attitude is that there are no limits in what they can do. They have a plan going forth to seize every one of those possibilities...until they are redirected by their protective parents to steer clear of them. There may be things that can hurt them. Parents only want their children to venture into the places that will offer challenges, yes, but nothing more than they can handle, nothing dangerous and nothing so big for them that they will fail. Parents love them far too much for that. 

This is the way it is with God. He is our father who watches over us. He never takes His eyes off His children. He encourages us and celebrates us. As we explore, He wants us to win. There are so many possibilities He has set before us. We just have to be careful, is all. He wants us to continue to walk towards Him and obtain great things. Even if we bump into a table or two or fall off the bed from time to time, He's got us, and we will be alright. If we get hurt we can go to Him for anything. He is always with us, because His love for us will never change. It remains strong and we can trust Him.

What am I saying?

 Just as great parents are there for their children from when they take their first steps and throughout their lives, God is the same with His children. He never leaves us and He continuously orders our steps. We can't fail when we walk in His ways. 

Impossible.

We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa
