So often in our lives, things don’t go as planned. We set goals for ourselves, come up with a plan of attack, and then think things are going to fall right into place. Just like that.
But that’s not how life usually works, is it?
Sometimes no progress is made and we get stuck in a rut. We begin to question our plan. Our goal. Surely if it was meant to be, it would happen just like we expect, right?
Wrong. Continue reading
There are a lot different ways to live your life in this big, crazy world. Many of us will grow up, get a job, buy a house, maybe get married and have a family, and will just continue in the great circle of life until the good Lord calls them home. Is there anything wrong with this? I’m not saying that necessarily. As long as you’re happy in what you’re doing!
Many however, are not happy. They become stuck in a rut and life just becomes just a series of ho-hum days, which turn into ho-hum weeks, months and finally…years.
My friends, we are meant to live for so much more than this! I speak from experience. I was that person, going to the same ho-hum job every day, just doing what I felt I had to do. But then I heard God’s call to me, telling me it was time for a change. That He had much bigger plans for me.
It’s interesting how life moves with its different ebbs and flows. You think you have things all figured out one minute when suddenly something happens and changes everything. Sometimes for the better, sometimes the worse. We go about our days making plans when in reality, you never really know what could happen from day to day.
It’s good to make plans, of course. To have goals and dreams in mind that we want to accomplish. But it’s also important to remember Who is truly in control. If something you planned isn’t going as expected, try to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. It’s not always easy to see things from God’s perspective, but it is important to trust His will for your life. Nothing is by accident. Continue reading
Sometimes in life we get ourselves into situations that we feel we need to stay in. Situations that may not be the best for us to live up to our true potential.
Maybe we get stuck in a job we don’t like and feel we need to stay just because it’s stable and will pay the bills. Or maybe it’s a relationship we invest a lot of time in, so we feel we can’t just up and walk away.
But when any of these negative situations goes on for too long, it can begin to steal our joy and zest for life. I speak from experience, and it’s one of the reasons I am so passionate about telling people that we have but one life to live, so it’s important that we live it well and to its fullest potential. God wants us to live in such a way that it’s a light for all to see. We can’t do that if we’re stuck in a situation that’s constantly Continue reading
