I need to deviate from what I’m studying on compelling reasons and motivation because I have a dear friend who needs a special kind of encouragement.
I think we ALL need encouragement.
Here’s one of my favorite blogs… it’s short and simple… You can GO through or you can GO through…
I love you and I’m praying for you.

Unless you’ve been on another planet for the past two weeks, I’m sure you’ve heard the remarkable story of Gabby Douglas.
Gabby won the Olympic Gold Medal in the Women’s Gymnastics individual all around competition becoming the third American woman in history and first African-American to win the coveted title.
Watching Gabby with my kids and reading her amazing story has inspired me. She had such an intense hunger and desire to become a champion that she sacrificed her own comfort and familiar surroundings to achieve her unbelievable goal.
Shouldn’t we all be that way?
Shouldn’t we all want to achieve our goals so much that we give it everything we’ve got?
All day I’ve been asking myself those questions. I’ve been thinking about my compelling reasons and driving motivation for change.
Why do I want what I want?
Can’t I just rely on Matthew 7:7?
Maybe or maybe not.
Check out James 4:3 with me. I meditated on this earlier today… so much good stuff to come…
I love you and I’m praying for you.

I know this title is a little strange today. However, I’ve been thinking about a term I heard a lot in my Primerica business days. The term is “compelling reasons”.
We used that term to describe the driving motivation to win in our business.
Today, my “compelling reason” to change is I want out…
I want out of average. I want out of mediocrity. I want out… and I want more for myself, my husband and my kids.
God has given me a lot, so I must do a lot.
There are no breaks when you’re hungry for deep inner change.
No breaks.
I’ll spend a few days studying this topic.
More to come.
I love you and I’m praying for you.

Perspective is such an interesting thing… so interesting…
Here’s a blog I posted featuring Bishop T.D. Jakes.
I hope it ministers to you. It speaks for itself.
I love you and I’m praying for you.

Have you ever struggled with a major decision? Do you ever wonder why you don’t get “the answer” you need, when you need it?
Well if you’re like me, you often need guidance and wisdom from the Lord. One of the great benefits of being a Christian, is we can rely on something very simple to aid us: PEACE.
When you’re not sure what God wants you to do, then allow peace in your heart to guide you.
I really love Isaiah 26:3 because God promised to not only give us peace but “keep” us in peace. So if you’re facing a major decision, follow the peace in your heart.
God doesn’t give you anxiety.
Don’t settle. Ever.
I love you and I’m praying for you.
