Thankful

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" (Psalm 107:1).

That means to be in a thankful posture towards the Lord, as well as, being thankful for what we have, not only focusing on what we don't have. If you take a moment to look at your life and what's around you, it's a good chance that you have many more blessings than you think. There are many people who don't have it as good as yourself. And just in case you're saying, no Sharon you truly don't understand what's going on in my life. Well let me tell you, I may not know all the facts, but I know there are people who have it doubly worse than you and someone who has it doubly worse than them. It's just the way of the world. Why? I don't know all the answers to the reason why. Yet I do know that God allows certain hardships in our lives to get the glory from us coming out of our plights. He wants to showcase our lives for others to see His goodness. Let Him use your life as a model of His awesomeness. He wants to bless you.

Remember Esther? She was an orphan who was raised by her cousin Mordecai, because both of her parents died. Imagine that. But God was with Esther and He blessed her in spite of her setbacks. Or perhaps myself, my parents died on the same day during the same year. And I'm still standing. God is with me and I know that for sure.

Consider those things when you think nobody has it worse. And consider those things when you feel like giving up. Stay with it and be thankful for the things around you that are good even if it's one thing. God can work with that.

Be encouraged.

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...

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
