Think Good. Be Good. Do Good.

-

 We are currently in the season where there is more emphasis on doing good. However, we should focus on goodness all-year round. Today I want to talk to you about thinking, being and doing good. What has been on your mind lately? We are always thinking about something. Our thoughts do matter and are very important. Our thoughts lead to the words we say and actions we make. We should constantly check our thoughts. We need to make sure they are positive and line up with God's Word. Now I know this is not always easy as things around us can look very discouraging, but we have to keep working on it. In order to know if our thoughts line up with God's Word, we must know what the Word says. That means we must take time to read and study the truth of God's Word, so we'll know what we should be thinking. Philippians 4:8 tells us exactly what thoughts we should allow to stay in our mind. Thoughts that are going to help and uplift us are what we should concentrate on. Thoughts that are true and honest are what we should be thinking about. Focusing on right thoughts, such as "It's going to get better," "God's got me," "I'm making progress," and "I'm further along than I was," will get us through our days. Negative thoughts will try to come, but it's up to us to knock them down and replace them with positive thoughts. So, let's think good. As we think good thoughts, we also need to have a desire to be good (Proverbs 11:23). We should want to be our best and be good everywhere. We should be good when people see us and when people don't see us. Remember God is always watching us (Proverbs 15:3). Along with thinking and being good, we should want to do good. Galatians 6:10 says, "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." We should do good in our actions. We should help others as we are able to. We should especially help our brothers and sisters in God's family. Just like blood family should look out for each other, brothers and sisters in God's family should look out for each other as that's what we are called to do. At the end of the day, our actions speak louder than our words. Make sure your actions point others to God's goodness. We have something to be grateful for every day. Goodness needs to be acknowledged and seen in our world now more than ever. So in this season and every season, let's remember to think good, be good, and do good.

The Gift of Time

-
 Twenty four hours. That's how much time we get in one day. We all get the same amount of time. Sometimes (perhaps a lot of time!), it doesn't feel like we have that much time in a day. It seems like we blink and we wonder where the time went. I have learned over time to appreciate and cherish the time I have 😊. Each new day I live to see is a new 24 hours to live and make the best of it. I have learned not to take the time I have for granted. I've learned not to take people or any opportunity I'm given for granted. I've learned the importance of making time for God, myself and others. When I start my day with God in the Word and prayer, I navigate my day and time in it much better than when I don't 🙏. Then, throughout my day, I have to make sure I'm talking to God, so he can lead me in the right way. I'm always looking at my days and constantly working on how to make the best use of my time. Distractions do happen, but then I have to get back on track...

You're Not Alone

 That statement alone is powerful! At some point in our lives, we may have felt like we were all by ourselves and no one else could relate to what we were going through. We may have even felt like no one else cared, and we couldn't share with anyone what we were going through. If you have felt any of the above, at any given point of time, you are not alone! I have felt all of these before. Today, I want to reassure you that you are not alone 💖. I know it may look and feel that way, but you're not. Everyone's life story is different. However, I guarantee if you were to take a closer look at our stories, you would find some common themes. At some point, we all have or will experience rejection, failure, loss of something or someone, frustration, disappointment, hurt, feeling different, and not knowing what to do in making a tough decision. While the situations may come in different forms, many of the same themes are interwoven throughout them. Our story is important and shou...

Live Your Best Life

-
 I am so grateful for the gift of life! If we can't find nothing else to be thankful for, we can be thankful for the life God has given us 😊. I have learned not to take my life for granted, nor the people God has placed in my life for granted. We only get one life to live, and we should live it well. We don't know when it will be a last chance to do something or say something to someone. We don't know when it will be the last time we see someone, whether that be at work, store, school, church, community, family or friends. We don't know when a day will be our last day. That's why it's so important to live out today. I'm reminded of Matthew 6:34 in the Bible that says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I want to live my life well each day. I don't want to just go through motions and routines, but I want to make sure I'm living my best life 😊💖. When we loo...
