You’ve been working hard. You’ve be faithful to exercise. You’ve been watching what you eat and your portions…but the weight just isn’t coming off like you would like to see. “What’s wrong? Is it just me?” You may be thinking. There is nothing wrong with you. You are not the exception. Here are a few things to consider if this scenario describes you:

1. You cannot out exercise a bad diet. Period. Results are the product of 70-80% nutrition and 20-30% exercise.

2. You are still drinking soda, even diet,   especially diet

How to Live a Life of Expectancy

Place every care, every doubt, every fear on the top shelf. Put it high and out of reach. A place hidden in God where you couldn’t retrieve it even if you were tempted to.

It has nothing to offer you.
It has nothing to give.
In the atmosphere of expectancy is where God wants you to live.

In this arena God will give abundantly to your heart. It will be amazing. God can bless hand over fist. This is the arena of Manifest Blessing to give and live.

This is a portion of a text I received yesterday from a woman who is in her own zone, breaking the mold, exploring and realizing her own potential as she helps others. She is finding her purpose through service. The serving of others. But not just any service, the service God is calling her to do. God has something unique for each of us to do.

When your heart and soul are edified you come alive. You know in your heart what to do, what you are meant to do. It’s

What if…

What if Noah only obeyed God once he understood the request?
What if Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego decided to bow before the idol to spare themselves, but vowed to not do so in their heart?
What if Elijah stayed in a cave instead of going to Jezebel?
What if Mary said no to the Angel of the Lord? What if Jesus got down off of His Cross and said, “that’s all for me. This is too hard and it doesn’t make sense.”

What if…

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is

I just had someone tell me that the way I love The Lord was contagious. Made me feel pretty good. To me, Jesus is everything and I find him completely intoxicating. If it spills over like a flood of Hope, Joy and Inspiration then I am happy. Mission accomplished.

As a Christian I am mandated to Live and serve God above all else. This is a journey to say the least because Jesus is the only soul to walk the earth completed in Christ. But he came. He bled. He died…
So

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2

Hello, Sunshine! It’s a New Day! Reset your mindset and get ready to experience greater things than you have yet! God has been faithful to you.

He has put a lot of love into you.
When you put a lot of love into even the little things; the little things will be packed with love

What is the measure of value?

I recently went to a baseball game where the home plate umpire wasn’t all that consistent in how he called pitches. A throw that was outside and called “ball” one pitch may have been thrown two times in a row only to be called on the second throw a “strike”. Usually, a player can get the feel of the Umpire. They quickly learn what a perfect pitch looks like to him. They see how he values each throw and this helps them adjust and look

Testify to Hope…

By the time I was 5 I began to experience a lot of rejection. A pattern developed in my young life and I was repeatedly told I wasn’t talented enough, smart enough, gifted enough, outspoken enough. I was quiet, timid and shy and that lead me to feel overlooked and invisible. I was frequently told I didn’t do it right or I did it wrong. And I believed it.

This was all happening inside of me. I was involved and active to a degree, but I kept to myself

Faith in Christ means we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Most of my adult life God has been training me and equipping myself, my husband and our children, to trust God as our Source for everything. To live by Faith…our daily bread kind of stuff. This journey has been difficult, stretching and completely awesome and amazing. To witness the miraculous move of God in your life is something no Christian should be denied. The more we step out in faith-all Christians-the more we meet the

He is the Light Of the world and in Him there is no Darkenss. Death could not contain Him. Worry could not refrain Him. He was the undefeated Champion of the world.

When storms and trials of life try to take you outside of God’s plans for your life-it will not overcome you if you cling to the one who sold Himself for you.

He has not forgotten you.
He is the King of all kings and He is besotted with you.

People struggle to understand pure, unadulterated, unconditional kindness like that because of
