Our Arrogant Assumption

“Procrastination is the arrogant assumption that God owes you another opportunity to do what you had time to do.” Some of you may have seen that on my timeline yesterday. When I first read that, it was like an arrow right between my eyes! Oh man! That hurt. I am the BIGGEST procrastinator ever! Reading that statement made me feel like all those times I don’t do what I’m supposed to do (what He has called me to do), is a slap in God’s face.  That hurts my heart. I am keenly aware during this season of life, that tomorrow is not guaranteed. We have no idea if we will get another chance to tell that person we love them, forgive or accept forgiveness, tell someone about Jesus, show that person kindness, give something of ourselves (that we probably won’t miss anyway), spend time with someone who needs a friend, make that phone call, etc. I have procrastinated on every level. I don’t know about you, but procrastination causes me a ton of stress...way more than it would have just doing i...

His Glory in Your Story

After yesterday's conversation, I continued to think about the importance of taking our place. However, knowing the importance doesn’t seem to be enough. The force holding many of us back is strong. When I think about the things holding me back... good grief! They are completely self-centered. I’m not good enough. People will think I’m not good enough.  I’m going to be embarrassed. What if I fail? What if no one “follows” me. ____ is not supportive of me. “ What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31  In this social media world of likes, follows, shares, friends and unfriending, fans, influencers, etc., the “need” for approval, can be debilitating. It often infiltrates how we live in the real world outside of social media. It skews our vision of where God is taking us.  It’s time to get God-focused. Friends, when God has given us gifts and called us to use them, it’s not about you. It’s not about me. It’s all...

I Can't Feel God

Okay, this is hard for me to say right now, and it may be hard for you to know about me. I can’t feel God. That’s weird, right? It’s weird to me too, but I must admit that sometimes I go through this. As I was thinking about what to share with you today, I thought to myself, “I have nothing. How can I tell them that I don’t feel anything?”  I then felt God speaking to my spirit, telling me to just give it to you straight. And that, as always, I’m not the only one.  So what do we do when we don’t feel God? The benefit I have when going through this kind of thing is a foundation of faith. It doesn’t matter how I FEEL; it’s about what I know. I know that God is good. I know that I can trust Him. I know that I can look to his Word for guidance. I know that His Word is alive and active in me. I know that I will feel Him again.  It’s really nice to be on that spiritual high when we have all the feels, but reality is that it’s not always going to be about emotion. Feelings come ...
