Stop Thinking Too Much

How many times have we overthought things so much we end up getting nothing done?

Sometimes we can overthink our way right into oblivion and never-never land if we're not careful. If the Lord put something in our heart to do and we try to wait until everything is lined up perfectly, we may never get it done. We may think we're being a perfectionist, but lots of perfectionists find themselves miserable and unfulfilled, because nothing will ever be good enough. And when we continue to keep looking at the paint drying, that's a long wait of getting nothing done. That means we're not much different than the lazy person. "Slothfulness [laziness] casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger (Proverbs 19:15). We have to be careful so we don't fall into the trap of going nowhere fast. 

So, instead of thinking on things making perfect sense, we have to just step out and do it. Don't think about it anymore. Just take a chance. It's ok to not understand every little thing. We have to have faith that God will do it. "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for (Hebrews 11:1). 

Stop thinking so much, have faith, and do it.

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. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

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
