I think about how many people tell me they want to grow in the Lord. If you really want something bad enough, you’ll find a WAY. If you don’t, you’ll find an EXCUSE. What is it that you keep saying you want to do? Then ask yourself if you’re finding a WAY to make it happen or making an EXCUSE why you can’t.

  “Some people create their own storms and then get upset when it rains.” Word of advice: Cut the drama! No more running around sharing secrets, pitting one person against another by spreading lies, or inviting people into your lives that love to “stir”. YOU can keep drama out of your home and out of your life by walking like Jesus…no gossiping, loving every person you come in contact with and by setting boundaries that keep the enemy out of your life.

  God commanded us to LOVE people and TRUST Him. Know the difference. If you get this mixed up and trust the wrong people, it can mean disaster down the road. Too many people don’t know how to keep a secret! You can love ‘em but you can’t always trust ‘em.

  Overthinking is one of the biggest causes of our unhappiness. It sounds like this when it’s in your head: “Why did I say that? Why did I do that? They probably think I’m stupid. Why didn’t I say the right thing? I wish I could take it all back.” Living with regret is exhausting. Overthinking will get you nowhere.

The quickest way to lose your joy in life is obsessing over what other people think about it! It’s not their life. If you want to jump out of an airplane, drive across country in a lime green mini-bus or stand on the courthouse steps in your underwear, go for it! People in America have an opinion about anything and everything. Foolishness. If we put as much effort into living our own lives as we do in trying to live somebody else’s, life would be so much better.
