Keep Walking the Path

Keep walking the Path…. 

It seems no matter what the reward is, there is some form of risk involved. 

From a child first learning to trust gravity to ride a bike to the risks we take as adults with relationships, finances, employment, and other worldly things, we have to risk something to gain something else. 

Risk is part of our Earthly experience and a great exercise for us to build and practice our faith as we seek the reward. 

Sometimes we hit bumps in the road but if we keep our hearts and eyes focused on our goal, our risk does not become ruled by fear and our faith carries us through. 

Measure your risk with your faith and see how it helps! 

As always, don’t take it from me, rather….

Check your experience… 

 “Faith has to work twenty-four hours a day in and through us, or we perish.” Big Book pg. 16 

Lord, let our hearts know that our risk, supported by our faith will carry us through to the reward, AMEN 

“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while.” 1Peter 1:6 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

You Got Skills

 We all have something to contribute...

Most of us have a few things that we are good at and a few that …well…it’s probably best if we leave it to others more suited to that skill set. 

It’s a known fact among my family and friends that I have neither understanding nor purpose to handle tools. 

Oh I like them, they’re shiny, but I have no clue why Allen has his own named wrenches and Phillip gets his own screwdrivers! 

Luckily, my family, friends, and ministry partners have found things I am more suited to doing and we balance well off of each other. 

God gives each of us gifts and talents to not only use to help us while we walk here on Earth, but also to help others He puts in our path. 

What are your gifts and how are you using them to help yourself and others?... 

Check your experience…. 

“Helping others is the foundation stone “ Big Book pg. 97 

Lord, please use our talents and gifts to help those You put in our path, AMEN. 

“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” 1 Corinthians 12: 4-7 

Have a blessed day Y’all! 

What if you had a person who coached and mentored you in building a better life?

The Power of Forgiveness

The power of forgiveness...

We have all experienced this. Fueled by anger, resentment, and or thoughts of revenge, our emotions produce words and actions that we would never allow if we were not caught up in the bad emotions of the moment. 

Sadly, some folks stay this way for years and it poisons all of the relationships around them. 

It’s OK to be upset when people, places, and things harm or hurt us, but it’s not ok to continue to replay that moment or event and let it influence the rest of our day, week, or year. 

The good news is that we can start our day over anytime we want. 

God makes this possible with His Spirit of forgiveness that lives inside each of us. 

While some wrongs can never be righted, we do not have to allow them to hold power over the rest of our lives. 

Are you holding any lingering resentments or allowing anger to influence your actions or relationships?… 

Check your experience… 

“It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness.” Big Book pg. 66 

Lord, let us give our hurts and anger to You in return for the peace and serenity that comes from forgiveness, AMEN. 

“Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32
