What would happen if we never read anything? What would happen if we never read anything valuable and substantive? What would happen if we never read the bible?

Ok, I'll just speak for myself and say, if I never read, I'd be stupid, ignorant, and lacking in knowledge. Proverbs 12:1 says, "the person who loves correction loves knowledge, but anyone who hates a rebuke is stupid." What we can take from this scripture is that we have to listen to smart wise words from smart wise places (and from the people who speak them and who are trying to help us). Wise people read and they tap into the things of God. We all need to be those people and be around such people.  

You know anyone who thinks they know everything and who have no personal accountability? You know anyone who has no one they listen to, because they refuse correction or respectful rebuke? That is a dangerous thing, because it leads to a false sense of security, where we may think we're ok when we're not. Anyway, I digress. My point in this blog post is to read to get knowledge and wisdom. That's basically it.

That's right, out with doing business the old stale way and in with a fresh new operation. It's a shifting happening in the atmosphere of Sharon's life and I'm moving on to the big and awesome things God has for me. What  do you say for yourself? What are you speaking over your life? What it is for you?  For me, I am no longer afraid to go out in the deep end. I am no longer afraid to fly higher, I am no longer concerned about what I have or do not have, and I am no longer concerned about what anybody thinks or says. Who the heck cares anymore? I don't. Because God tells me he doesn't give me a spirit of fear or timidity ( 2 Timothy 1 :7) , but He gives me a spirit of love, confidence, power, self-control, and

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

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. 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.
