It Wasn't a Conference Call.

“Let’s commit to seeking the Lord’s Plan rather than pursuing the approval of others.” -Karen Ehman

Part of the enemy’s battle for our minds includes causing us to overthink what others may believe or say about us. It’s an effective strategy.

I realized just yesterday, that part of what kept me from doing what God called me to do for so long, was my concern about what others thought of me. It still sneaks up on me from time to time. What if they think I’m not good enough? What if they laugh at me? What if they talk about me behind my back? Like we discussed yesterday, thoughts like that are Satan’s way of holding us back from being who we are called to be. 

But you know what? Sometimes they are not lies. There may be someone who doesn’t believe in us or have any interest in seeing us succeed, but that’s not our problem. What I’ve learned is that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It’s not their business.

If God calls you to it, He’ll lead you through it. What He has for you, is for you. Period.

We’ve got to stop letting our fears and insecurities stop us from reaching toward the goals the Lord has placed before us. Ultimately, it’s between God and the one He calls. Of course, He often includes others to help us along the way, but regardless, we must be about our Father’s business. 

“Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you...” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:17‬

March on.

Should Someone Call an Exorcist?

Last Friday I went bowling with some of my family. I am aware of my low skill level, so I remained humble throughout the first game, and surprisingly finished in 1st place!  The second game began and I just knew I would dominate even more. I may not have been quite as humble. I was last on the list to go. I stood up and approached my ball with confidence. I picked it up, set my eye on the center arrow painted on the lane, then took a few quick steps forward just as I had before.  As I took my last step, I swung my arm backward, then forward, and fell flat on my face. Actually, flat is not entirely accurate. I’m pretty sure every one of my limbs flew in a different direction, and the position of my head may have had folks wondering if they should call an exorcist. I also seemed to be temporarily blinded from the fall but could hear my ball bouncing its way down the lane. Let’s pause for a moment of prayer. The problem was that I had stepped over the foul line into the lane— 1. Not reali

The Complexity of Prayer

Have you ever considered the complexity of prayer? Have you ever had something you needed to pray about, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to talk to God about whatever the issue was? I have experienced that many times. I will call it “Prayer paralysis.” Prayer paralysis happens when you are afraid of any answer God might give you. If He says no, then you might feel bad, or sad, or even angry. If He says yes, then your fear factor increases because you just don’t think you can handle what a “Yes” entails (which essentially means that you don’t trust Him). So instead of revealing your lack of trust (Like seriously, you don’t think He knows? ), you just don’t pray. It’s kind of like when you were a little kid, and you would sit still and close your eyes, thinking that it would make you invisible. God already knows our fears of failure, self-pride, and even our trust issues, so we might as well just go ahead and lay it all at His feet. There’s another kind of prayer paralysis that I ha

  Anyone struggling with anxiety? I have struggled with it quite a bit. Then, I realize that forgetting to bring all of my anxiety-inducing problems to God, is a big part of the problem. Yesterday I talked about living in endurance mode. Part of that is taking all of the difficult things, and trying to wait them out.  If I really think about it, I may have subconsciously believed that struggling is just part of the journey and that I need to suck it up, because Jesus went through way more than I ever will.    But, “ Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28)  He never intended for us to hold onto them. Sometimes we don’t bother saying anything to God because, well, He knows what’s happening. He can change it if He wants to. So we sit paralyzed—enduring! Is that familiar to anyone? Though He could whisk our struggles away at any time, part of the journey, part of our relationship with the Creator is rooted in commu
