Reminder

“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. 
Watch your actions; they become habit. Watch your habits; they become character. 
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

Your Greatness is Showing!

Proverbs 18
1 Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense. 24 There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

Sometimes we beat ourselves up about not being good enough, but let's consider why we feel that way. Is it because our circle of "friends" don't recognize how awesome we are? Have they stolen our dreams; do they speak negatively to and about us; have they ever taken the time to get to know and understand us? If not, we have to find a way to change our surroundings. It's time to be surrounded by like-minded and goal-oriented people who recognize our greatness.

And since we're great friends, let's take some time today and let our friends know how great they are, too!

You're GREAT and I appreciate all of you!

Stay Prepared

Proverbs 31:21
When it snows, she has no fear for her household...
 
Here in Maryland, we woke up to a winter wonderland today. Though my children didn't have school, I still had to prepare for the day, which included going to work. Before I could leave my house, I had to make sure my children would be okay without me. Thankfully, I was already prepared and didn't have much to do to ensure that they would have a good day.
 
The referenced scripture is talking about a woman, however, we can apply that to all of us. If we stay prepared, we don't have to run around getting ready right before or during the storm. We need to keep our essentials in order at all time. What are the essentials? Well, we need to keep the Word in our hearts and in our hands; we must stay prayed up; we have to keep on the full armor of God; and we have to stay alert. We can also read Luke 12:35-48 as a reminder to stay ready for Christ.

New Year's Resolution?

Proverbs 19:21 New International Version (NIV)
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

At the beginning of every year, we make resolutions or plans to do things differently or better; maybe to even stop doing certain thing. Making plans is a great thing! We've heard the quote, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail," but if God isn't in your plan, you may not get the results that you desire.

We must stay in prayer and ask God to guide us even in our planning stages, so that when it's time to put those plans into action, we have a clear idea of where where going and what we're doing. We need to know that God is our number one resource, but He has also given us people to turn to for help; we can't do everything on our own, so we need to make sure that we include a support system in our goals. God will get the glory either way, so we might as well start with Him.
