Believe today that something wonderful is about to happen. What you expect is what you will get! And remember, what you think is important in the morning may not be what’s important when you go to bed. Thank God for the good things, recognize His hand when life is difficult and enjoy the journey. Life can shift on a dime. So set your mind to expect something wonderful around every turn.

Today, have the courage to be the person you really are. No more hiding parts of your life. No more keeping secrets. Live life with the attitude of “what you see is what you get”. How many of you are trying to be something you’re not? How many of you are living life to please someone else? Take a look in the mirror and realize that you are “enough” without changing one single thing.

Your ministry will be where your misery was. When you are a survivor of cancer, a parent of a child who died, someone who went through a divorce or an abusive relationship and came out on the other side, you have a story to tell. And those are just a few of the struggles that turn into a message that will help someone along the way. What is YOUR story? Look for someone going through the same thing and come alongside them! Turn that pain into a blessing for someone else.

Have you ever wanted to look at someone and say “Hey, you ain’t my boss applesauce”. Isn’t it amazing how many people want to tell you what to do and what not to do in life? Isn’t it amazing how they know exactly what would make our lives better? Isn’t it just mind-blowing that they even know how to raise our kids and treat our husband? Just a suggestion here…you might want to take a look at THEIR life. Usually those who can’t seem to manage their own lives are the ones who try to manage yours. Stay calm…look them straight in the eye…smile…and say “You ain’t my boss”! You might even throw a wink in there as you walk away.

Sometimes good people make bad choices. How long will you make them pay? When someone is trying to get over a bad choice {even if it’s not their first time to fail}, the last thing they need is some self-righteous, nose in the air Christian to turn their back on them. Sometimes we forget that we’ve all been in their spot. Maybe you were fortunate and you got your life back together…I’ll ask you again. How long will you make them pay?

  Everybody has to start somewhere at some point. That means the greatest students of God’s Word had a day one. The most powerful prayer warriors started with a first prayer. What is it that you want to do? It will start with a single step of faith. Don’t kick yourself because you aren’t “terrific” the first time you try. What you want is worth fighting for, right? So make sure EVERY DAY you move in the direction you want to go.
