people and my source of strength and courage comes from God. I try to take God's principles and help others understand that they can-with the help of God-turn things around. inside. So, "Just do it!" That's a big-time quote we all hear used in Nike's ads, and they are right. But with the greater source-God-nothing is impossible. Jesus said in the Word found in Mark 10:27, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." People most often don't rise above life's challenges, most times because they don't know how to handle the situations they are faced with. And taking the right steps in the right direction when faced with difficulty can be a challenge in itself. However, if a person can learn to follow a process even in the midst of bad times, they can get back to the good times. You can't sit back and pretend it doesn't exist. You have to confront where you are! Especially those of us that profess to be Christians! God's Word is clear on what we must do! We must trust HIM to see us through! So when your life seems bent out of shape and it's crooked, apply Proverbs 3: 5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Writing books and speaking enable me to pull from my own experiences and share my own personal strength and courage with others on a more intimate level. That's why I love writing and, as you said, being able to motivate, inspire, educate, and empower! I really like that tag line-I'm going to use it if it's okay (laughing). that I know for a fact really work. ·Learn to live in your NOW; this is where you can make I choose to live life going forward. |
