Moving Right Along

Life comes at us fast sometimes and when it does, we have to keep it moving. We can't get down and stay down. There's always scripture we can stand on and if you don't think words are powerful, perhaps the bible should take on a more meaningful purpose for you. It is the most powerful book in the world. It is the breathed words of the Lord God. I stand firm on it. It is the power I carry around with me. I may not know every single thing in it -- far from it -- does anybody? I think that's impossible. At any rate, what I'm trying to convey is that we must find the strength to move along when we have struggles and circumstances that come our way. Part of why we have to deal with our challenges is because they allow us to identify with the people who need us to help them. Our life experiences allow us to be able to connect with others. It's part of why our testimony has to be told aloud. It really helps people to hear it.

The testimony I will share again is that I didn't step up for years, because I was afraid of success (sometimes failure, but mostly success). What do I mean? I was afraid that the more people knew about my life, the more I would be exposed. And that was hard for me, because I was always a private person, but I had to get over that in order to help others. This blog is one of the ways I put myself out there to let people know that they're not alone. It's not about us comfortable all the time, it's about doing the will of God.

Seeking the Lord and opening and applying His word will enable us to look towards heaven. That makes moving along easier (Matthew 6:25-34).

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

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.

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" and Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
