"I can through Christ"

Too often we let our circumstances determine our attitude. If life is going smoothly, then we feel good about ourselves; when it gets hard, our mood drops. But we don't have to live this way. Like the apostle Paul practice the secret of being content. Contentment means accepting things the way they are—in other words, not wanting anything more or different. This requires developing an "I can through Christ" attitude.

happy ever after

what ever happened to "happy ever after". I know in eternity it will be but the abundant life should also include "happy" too!!!!! I guess it all comes down to as a man thinketh in his heart so is he, stupid brain wake up and smell the coffee. I have joy but there is a difference between joy and happiness. I hate seeing someone eat ice cream when I desire ice cream, what? Can anyone say, "envy".

the Devil wants to Brainwash you

The Devil knows that if he can get to a man, remove the props, strip him of every vestige of aid, take away his security blanket, he can upset him and turn him upside down, destroy his morale, rearrange his thinking, and brainwash him. Where are you at in the Devil's process?

*** My response is my responsibility. No one can control or make me mad, if I get mad it is because I choose too. Every man must bear his own burden.



*** What I tolerate today I or my children will embrace tomorrow. If we dont stand than our children will fall for it.

*** It's not what the person across the street thinks about me that will hurt me but what I think about the person across the street that will hurt me."

I don't have to forward any text messages and I dont have to put a neat little cross typed out using brackets on my facebook to stand up for God! Quite frankly, I don't need to stand up for God! God is....GOD! I choose to glorify His name because of His grace! He doesn't need me as His defender! He is my defender!"

about to re-live

We always talk about redoing this or that, so why not just decide to re-live your life. I mean re-do, change the way you think and therefore change your life. It all begins with your thinking then moves to your beliefs and then will become a way of life, so who's stopping you other than you and that is the 1st place to make the change.
God said, as a man thinketh so is he, so how are you?

The goal of all discipline should be restoration

2 Thessalonian 3 (King James Version) 14And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother." The goal of all discipline should be restoration. God wants to bless us, not judge us, and sometimes the best way to move us into a place fit for blessing is to make us uncomfortable for a while. C. Stanley

Be you.

Nobody can be who you are, nobody can replace you, and nobody else on this earth is capable of fulfilling the Father's plan for you. Nobody else can do the work HE has gifted you to do, know the people HE is leading you to know, or offer the praise and prayer that HE is giving voice to. You must be and do what Father made you to be and do.
