Hey!
Tonight I had challenges with the radio blog, so I’m posting a simple video to sum up what I wanted to talk about. I REALLY REALLY need to hear the words to this song. What about you?
I love you and I’m praying for you.

A few days ago I started talking about “compelling reasons” and motives. Why do we do what do? Why do we want what we want?
I wish I could say I’m so holy that all of my motives are completely pure and innocent.
🙂
Here’s the truth, I struggled with my motives for YEARSSSSSSSS!
I wanted things because… well… I wanted things.
It was never about being a blessing or an inspiration to someone else. It was all about ME!
Well folks, that doesn’t work. In fact, it was a really lonely existence.
I love the scripture in John 15:7 which helped me understand that God’s words must abide in me so when I ask for something, I’m in line with what He wants for me.
God’s word began to shape me from the inside out, so my motives slowly began to change.
Ahhhh… It’s such a peaceful place to be.
Thanks for taking the journey with me…. only 330 more days to go.
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.
