Don’t turn a bad moment into a bad day….


Have you ever noticed that what you focus on influences how you feel and act?


For instance playing with children can make some older folks feel young and more alive.


How about the feeling of accomplishment after completing a workout at the gym?


What about the uncomfortable and unpleasant parts of our day that we all have?


Have you ever noticed what happens when we focus on that?


It tends to drag us into the negative mindset and bring us down.


Now maybe it’s different for you, but I have found that when I enter into the unpleasant moments of my day, ...


instead of focusing on the anticipation of the impending doom or negativity,..


I remind myself of all the good in my life and that this is just a moment in my day that will eventually pass.


I find that when I greet negative times with cheerfulness, the negativity has a hard time taking me hostage.


How’s that working out for you?..


Check your experience…


“We were prepared to look at it from an entirely different angle.” Big Book pg 66


Lord, let us walk through the negative times knowing this is but a moment but You are in our heart forever and that we have blessings awaiting us, AMEN.  


“Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” Philippians 2:14-15

Drop the doubt… 

Facing the Giants is a movie close to my heart. 

One of the scenes in the movie involves a young man that basically has been crippled by doubt in his abilities and it has spread to his faith. 

Luckily, he has a few men in his life that see this and help him to work through his doubts and embrace faith not only in his abilities but also grow his faith in God. 

This reminds me look at myself and examine the areas in my life where doubt has invaded to limit my belief in myself and the power of Jesus. 

My experience has taught me that when I drop the doubt and replace it with faith in myself and the Lord, amazing things happen. 

What areas of your life are controlled by doubt and holding you back?... 

Check your experience… 

“Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more… You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Matthew 21-21:22 

Lord, let us drop our doubts and replace them with faith in ourselves and You, AMEN. 

“I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me.” Big Book pg. 13 


Have a blessed day Y'all!

I want what I want WHEN I want it….

Perhaps it’s different for you, but I can’t tell you how many times this thought has sparked reactions that led to actions with bad outcomes from my hurried and poorly thought out decisions. 

I get it, the self-willed human in me wants to override my spiritual nature and get that perceived TEMPORARY GAIN. 

It’s in those moments my self-will blocks me from seeing the long-term outcomes and the effects on my hasty wants and desires. 

When I quiet those urges through prayer, counsel with others wiser than me, and in trusting my faith, that I wait and let God provide me with the natural choice. 


More often than not, I am amazed because it turns out way better than I ever expected! 

Check your experience…. 

“Patience, tolerance, understanding and love are the watchwords.” Big Book pg. 118 

Lord, please let me learn to pray to want what I get instead of getting what I want, AMEN. 

“Wait for the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage;” Psalm 27:14 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
