Embracing the new

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.
Today I've come to remind you about what 2 Corinthians 5:17 says about you and that is, you are a new creation, because of the God who lives in you. That means you have the inherited right to be exactly who you are and nobody else. God made you perfectly, because He made you in His image (Genesis 1:27). So guess what? It's cool to embrace being different, because God made no two people the same. Sometimes when we look at social media, we tend to think we're not good enough, but let me tell you, you are -- we are -- great enough. And we have no need to compare ourselves to any person. The only one we should be comparing ourselves to is God. And although we will never measure up, at least we have a great guide, a great barometer, a great benchmark, in order to determine how to be all we can be.

And what I'm also saying is we should be confident in being different and being new creations, because nothing that grows stays the same and that is a wonderful thing. Embrace the new and walk in confidence in being you. Yes. As I said, the God in you is great, so you are great by default. We have to remember that and start acting like we really know it. At any rate, I just wanted to encourage you today just in case you may need it, because we all need encouragement from time to time, right? Right.

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.

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
