Stay Gounded

Being grounded means being the one with sound judgment and level-headed thinking. People with those traits are the ones God can use to bring about positive change. He needs stable, reliable, and steady people to impact and influence others. He told us to be fishers of men and that means we have to make long lasting connections, which means being disciplined and anchored in Him no matter the circumstances.

Thus, when it seems all is going crazy around us, we can be the safe place. When it seems all cool has been lost, we can be the voice of reason. When it seems things have gotten nasty, we can be the sweet spot. People will really respect us for it, because everyone doesn't have it in them to lead during chaos. Times of trouble bring out the best or the worst in people.

As people of God, being the one who looks more like Christ means things will turn out better than worse. Yes I do believe that, because I chose to come from a faithful place that no matter how things seem, when God is present, it all works out in the end. Proverbs 25:28 says, "a man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls." That's proof that we must maintain rationality and good sense even if others aren't, otherwise we will have a hot mess on our hands and who would that help?

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. How are you feeling today? What kind of head space have you been in lately?

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

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.
