  Broken hearts, broken lives, broken dreams, broken people…we see them everywhere. Maybe we ARE one. Sometimes we can’t see how in the world God can take our broken pieces and make something special. Trust Him with your brokenness and know that He is working behind the scenes. Before you were ever born, He had a plan for your life. Brokenness doesn’t scare Him. He will use your brokenness as a step to your future in ways you can’t imagine. Instead of giving up, give HIM a chance.

Ever get discouraged and think things are taking too long…maybe you have plans for the future but they seem to be on the slow track. Just remember “Rome wasn’t built in a day! But they were laying bricks every hour.” We don’t have to build everything we want in one day. All we have to do to get to our destination is just lay a brick. And tomorrow do the same thing. Then one day, you’ll realize, you made it! Impatience is not a virtue. Patience is.

  Too many of us need to set boundaries in our lives for people who don’t have any. You know who I’m talking about…the ones who “drop” in unannounced at the worst times, the ones who call you and want to talk for hours on end or maybe it’s the ones who are always wanting something. You feel stressed, aggravated and overwhelmed when you’re around them but you just don’t know how to stop it. Just remember that whatever you PUT UP WITH, you’ll END UP WITH. Setting boundaries starts with learning how to say no.

  Until you’re ready to deal with the “junk” in your life, it will keep dealing with you. Maybe you need to forgive and let something go. Maybe you have had words spoken over you that play in your mind day after day. Or maybe you find yourself continually feeling sorry for yourself and the way your life turned out. When you’re ready to get rid of the “junk” in your life, talk to Jesus and ask Him to heal your heart. He can change you inch by inch…give Him a try. You’ve lived this way too long

  Trying to stay positive in a negative world can be tough at times. But we can’t let other people’s negativity affect our lives. We are Christian believers. That means that we have something to look forward to every day. When you get out of bed in the morning, God is there. When you eat lunch, God is there. When you work yourself silly, God is there. We should be the happiest people on earth!

Being kind to YOU is the best medicine you can take. Some of us are all about taking care of the world and all it’s people. We go and go to the point of insanity. We’re exhausted, feel like a failure because we didn’t do more, and at the same time, look for more things to do. Let me ask you a question. What would happen if you died right now? Do you think the world would be thrown into chaos? God doesn’t call you to pour out to the point of exhaustion. We do that ourselves. If you can’t take a day just for you, then take an hour. Do something that you’ve been wanting to do and stop feeling guilty.
