Choose happy

Do you know we have a choice to be happy? Yes, we have the choice to have joyous happy days or sad unhappy ones. And we have the choice to be unbothered by the things that try to stop our flow. Isaiah 12:3 says "with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” 

Remember, God looks after you -- His people -- and there is no need to put any effort into the things that don't make you stronger. We have to draw strength from within, Psalm 31:7 says "rejoice and be glad in the Lord God.” I had to learn that for myself, so now I write about it, I speak about it, and I teach about it. And like David, I will bless the Lord, because He has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a bad place (Psalm 31:21). I know the power of the Lord and He has brought me from the pit of despair. Now I will be happy in Him. I trust in Him, because I know His majestic beauty. I value Him, because He has turned my ashes into beauty. He will do the same for all those who love Him and call Him Lord. He will do that all the days of their lives. God is worthy to be praised.

    Every day with the Lord is a day of strength. I withdraw from HIs happiness and His joy.

    That's awesome, Ms. Terri. I can tell you draw from His happiness and joy. That's why you're so happy and joyous in the things you 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
