What is it that you love about your spouse? What keeps you going in the hard times? When your anniversary approaches, do you get excited, reminiscing about all the great times you’ve had together, or, do you wince at thinking you almost forgot and panic about what you’re going to get him or her?

You’ve got to slow the train and harness that overachieving self! With your brain constantly firing on all cylinders, it is hard to stay on task when everything equally distracts you. Focusing on one thing at a time and doing it well is the best method for anything.

You are not broken! You were created with purpose; a well thought out perfect design! God did not mess up. He did not ‘miss something’. He did not make you on a whim. He knows every single detail about you and is well pleased with it.

Do you want to feel content? Are you challenged by the lives of others or the material goods surrounding you?

You’re running a race. You’re tired, thirsty, dripping with sweat, but you’re almost there. If you push yourself a little further, you’ll have the sweet victory you’ve been craving. Suddenly, you get a leg cramp. Do you push through to the end or give it all up and nurse the cramp?

How many of you cringe at the thought that your birthday is encroaching? Do you try to change your age when people ask? Are you one of the ones that say you’re forever 16?

I stood on stage sharing my story, 200 people staring back at me, and my mind went blank…

When one thinks that hope is gone and that nothing can come of a dire situation, God not only shows up, He often chooses to do so in a profound and noticeable way.

…There is power in His name! There is strength and healing in Jesus’ name! No matter how hard it got, God is victorious and helped me to overcome!

You feel the panic rise up as the phone rings. You’re afraid to answer it. What if it’s the creditors again? But, if you don’t answer, what if they won’t stop calling? …Could it be someone else? What if there’s an emergency or someone needs me and I’m missing an important call?
