It's time to lose some weight

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.

If you've been reading my blog/devotional or listening to my podcast, you know I'm on this losing weight thing, but it's not the weight you may think. It's not about losing lbs. It's about losing dead-weight -- getting rid of the people who mean me no good. People who may be good people, just not good for me -- not good for my life. You follow what I'm saying?

That's what I'm on lately. Sometimes we have to do that and it's not that anybody has doing anything wrong. It's just that when people are on different life trajectories, then something has to give. And the weight has to shift. You understand what I mean?

Listen, sometimes we get to the point where we have to put ourselves first and let the chips fall where they may. Everything will work out. It's about loving ourselves and taking care of ourselves. We can't do that with anything that is too taxing on us, right? So, if you're in a place where you have been feeling like a change is imminent, I know that feeling. And it may be time to evaluate what's going on in your life and those around you. Then make some decisions that are the best for you. And let me bring this message on home with Romans 8:28, which says, "and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." That's all.

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

Eagles fly above the storm

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with Blog Post. Are you an eagle? Do you know, eagles fly above the storm and they wait for the winds to carry them to greater heights? That's right, as the storm is raging below, they are soaring above it all. They don't escape the storm, mind you. They simply use the storm to lift themselves to higher magnitudes. It's a though they know the storm is temporary; that they will indeed rise above it; and that they are riding the storm. I find all of that fascinating, because we can take the model of the eagle and do the same. Why can't we? We can imitate the eagles intelligence, push-through, and perseverance to weather any storm -- the storms of life that will come. If we will just know that God will never give us more than we can handle, then we will come out victorious. As you going through anything today? Are you worried about anything in particular? Just know, you can rise above it all. Nothing is too big for G
