Christ is in you. God is for you. Stop prequalifying your prayers and begin believing for God’s best in your life.
There was a time that I figured, like many other people do, that “God hates me”. I think this is a lie we tell ourselves or is told to us by Satan who tries to keep you feeling beat down.. unloved.. unappreciated…
Its a lie we tell ourselves in our heads.
Its a comment we make around the table at the bar to our friends joking as a public excuse for the behaviors we do.
Its what you tell your coworkers when you feel guilt or a sense of longing for something more, but you dont feel “worthy” because of your past secrets.
Its an excuse to figure we aren’t worthy of being able to turn our lives around.
“I could never go back to church”. Another lie we tell ourselves. An excuse we make because you don’t want to get up early after being out all night Saturday hoping you can meet the person of your dreams at yet another bar weekend.. and coming up empty.
“I don’t know where to start”. Yet another lie when it comes to figuring out that maybe your plan in life has not brought you to the place you thought you would or should be.
Steven Furtick is right. God IS for you. God wants you to succeed. God wants you to know the love and grace he has for you, and no matter your past, your present, or what you have done in terms of screwing up your life, it can all be renewed in you. Stop listening to the lies in your head and reach out for the promise of living an awesome, best-in-store-for-me life right now. Not “when I die and go to heaven”.. but RIGHT NOW.
I wouldn’t have believed it was possible myself… I would have said “pfft yeah right” too.. Up until January 1st of this year when I decided to give it a try. Make no mistake, 2009 has been a rough personal year for me, but God’s love and strength has been with me and has brought me some amazing things and opportunities and provided for me all the way. The confidence that Faith brings is indescribable. And God wants you to have that right now. No, really.
Luke 15:24 “For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.”


So on

Looking ahead to your future means you really need to examine your past even closer, to learn from where you screwed up.
I stopped into the lobby of the station
Okay. Its the
I was going to make a post about fountain Coke and sizes based upon the “large” soda the guy at Burger King in front of me ordered at breakfast yesterday. I mean not to sound old but when I was a kid, a “large” at McDs was 16 ounces. Medium was 12 ox and the small was a tidy 8ozs. Fast forward 25+ years and when you go to Wendys now and mistakenly order that same 20 oz “medium” you are used to ordering since 1989, you get a 32 oz behemoth.
I am finally updating the blog. Its been a few months and for that I am sorry. I have been on a path on refocusing some priorities in life, work has changed a few paths, fate has changed a few more, and God is sending me down some other ones I’m not even too sure about yet.
I took a break from the blog here for a while due to some personal issues which are mine and not public blog worthy. Lets just say that I’m still here, thoughts still exist, and God is still good.
