When Misfits Become Kings, Part 2

In Part 1 of the book by Mark Casto, When Misfits Becomes Kings, I highlighted some of the things Casto talks about in his wonderful book of ordinary people doing extraordinary things for the Lord.

Casto talks alot about David who was anointed at a young age to become king (1 Samuel 16), but David found himself alone and isolated many times before God elevated him to king. How about you? Do you feel isolated or alone? Do you feel like David or perhaps Neo, from the movie, The Matrix, my favorite movie? Neo was destined for greatness, but like David and maybe even like yourself, he didn't quite fit in with others. Do you too feel like...a misfit? If so, Casto says "you can never become a product of your environment, for God Himself placed the source of identity inside your spirit. So no matter how out of place you feel, you will never be a misfit for long" (p. 5). What that means to me is that it's just a matter of time before the Lord takes you to a new place. He has not forgotten what He has for you. He has not forgotten how He wants to use you to do great things in His name. "God doesn't begin big works in public. He starts in secret, in that inner chamber of the heart, where the Creator teaches and molds an individual's greatness" (p. 5).

That also means that as long as we stay on the grind, stay in the trenches, our time will come. The Lord is watching.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

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. 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.

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

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
