    How to Be Ruthless with Your Time

    Fact: Time can’t be replaced. Your time is not limitless.  You can’t work harder to gain more time. Time wasted cannot be replaced. It’s important that we see TIME as one of our most valuable assets… If you’ve attempted to manage your time in the past, but still failed to reach your goals, it could be that you’re too flexible and easy on yourself and others when it comes to your schedule. God’s Word says… “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” – Psalms 90:12 When you realize that time is finite and that there really might not be some future distant…

    Forget the New Years Resolutions… Do this instead (and Grab Your Freebie Download)

    Resolutions have never worked for me, and don’t seem to work for most people because by February, most of them are forgotten. A  resolution is “a firm decision to do or not to do something.”  Unfortunately resolutions easily crumble beneath our failing willpower.  Making a resolution to eat no more sweets for the year ahead goes out the door at the next birthday party where you find yourself handed a piece of cake. It’s plain to see that it’s easy to be swayed one way or the other in deciding that our resolution wasn’t so important after all. This year doesn’t have to end the same way with no changes……

    What Influences You the Most?

    The things we set most often before us will have the most influence on us… Yesterday, I was reading a series of 21 shocking cases of children who were cruelly left alone without human interaction — and more or less raised by animals. The results were horrifying and definitely heart-breaking. Some were raised around dogs and would mimic all the characteristics that dogs would do… such as barking and growing and walking on all four limbs. One young boy, who was often punished by his parents by locking him up in a chicken coop, would walk and strut like a chicken and also peck at his food. Another similar story…

    When you’re weary and exhausted there is hope…

    In the first chapter of Luke, an angel of God told Mary that she would have a son and call his name Jesus.  Mary then confronts the angel with the “questionable circumstances” from her own perspective of what seemed impossible… “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” (Luke 1:34) The angel responds with such powerful statement of which we all should take notice:  “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37) Long ago…but not so long ago when my boys were very little (how time flies), my hubby was outside working to repair his vehicle that was used specifically for…
