Are you bored? Or are you afraid?

Relax, Do not get tense, have no fear.
All is for the best.
You must learn soul balance, poise in a changing world.
Claim My power.
Never think you are too busy.
As long as you get back to Me and replenish after each task,
no work can be too much.
My joy I give you.
Live in it.
Bathe your spirit in it.
Reflect it. -God Calling

It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in the old stagnant life of sin.
You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living,
tell you ho to live.
We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing,
when we felt like doing it.   Ephesians 2:1-3

Are you bored if the day is simply full of responsibility and duty?
It is easy to become addicted to the adrenaline of conflict and chaos.
In the path to wellness,
there will be many boring days.
Many days will be full of nothing but responsibility, self-discipline, and hard work.
The life of stability builds the potential for excitement minus the drama or trauma!
You can move away from desiring unhealthy excitement that is full of danger or continual drama and move toward the kind of healthy excitement that develops from new found opportunity when you reach out to your God given potential.
The key to hope is self control, plain and simply doing whats right, no matter what you feel like doing.   Start catching ourselves making comparisons and tell ourselves to stop,
avoid tripping each others insecurity buttons!    Nobody get to take away our dignity.   -Beth Moore

Love the people I give you.

Glad indeed are the souls with whom I walk.
Walking with Me is security.
The coming of My Spirit into a life,
and its workings are imperceptible,
but the result is mighty.
Learn of Me,
Ask yourself- Did self prompt that?
And if it did, oust it at all costs.
You can not understand My teachings on your own.
But as you go on obeying Me and walking with Me,
and listening to Me,
you will understand and then you will see
how glorious are My teachings and revelations.-God Calling

Please make it clear to me where,
and to whom do You want me to lay my life down to.
Who ever is in my path?
Even if it is the same people over and over?

"It does not have to be mind shaking!
Love the people I give you.
It is in the ordinary that I come most often".

We have to start out by reaching what we can reach and touching what we can touch.
The choice will come!

He will equip us with all we need to do what He has called us to!

How we live our lives privately eventually comes out publicly.

Never Despair!   Be a channel of helpfulness for others.
Have more sympathy.
Feel more tenderness towards others.
Your lives shall not be all care.
My strength has conquered depression, sorrow and death. -God Calling

We are works in progress.
Quit over reacting to your short comings.
Let's give a new definition to emotional well being -
progress, movement, not perfection should be our goal.
Refuse the guilt for being less than perfect.
Walk forward with all of the 'less than perfect' humanity.
Grow in the knowledge of our Lord.   2 Peter 3:18

"To honor our self is to be in love with our own life,
in love with our possibilities for growth and for experiencing joy,
in love with the process of discovery and exploring our distinctively human potentialities"
All made possible as we come to know who we are in God.
Movement doesn't change us,
soul engagement does.
Either we humble ourselves,
admit our daily need for more of His life and influence within us and we are beautifully changed in the process.
Everything we do is in response to the life giving power of God mightily at work within us.

What we do in secret from day to day seems of little consequence,
but in due time,
those small hidden choices either reveal a life of discipline or laziness.

- secret to a successful life by Jeff Olson

How we live our lives privately eventually comes out publicly.
Either we grow in our faith and become more intimate with God,
or we fall away from Him.

"My eyes are not focused on the storm, 
but on the living God,
who controls every circumstance of my life."
Proverbs 9:10  

By knowing You, we will begin to understand You.

Private prayer times mark our lives with true power.
To know the Lord is to walk intimately with Him.
His power energizes us to do the things He has appointed us to do.
We more clearly see what in our schedule is an unaccounted, unannointed work
and we seek to align our life with God's best purposes for us.
When we are intentionally engaged with God, we are more fully engaged in the work He has
assigned to us.
