Adjustments For Happiness...

What adjustments you are willing to make to be happy?

Don't do drama ... 

Stay out of other people's business .. 

Can't hang with everyone ... 

Give up a job that's asking you to compromise your moral standards... 

You don't have to be popular to be happy!

Make a decision to be happy and stop allowing others to drag you around.   

What is righteousness, peace and joy worth to you?

Live deeper than I want, I think, I feel.

You don't need everyone's approval to function in life.  

It's hard to give it up now, but you'll be happy later.  

God wants us all to have a good life, so what are you willing to give up? 

Our morals and standards don't evolve because God doesn't evolve!

 Make the right choices so that you can live without regrets.  

 - Notes from a sermon by Joyce Meyer

Turning Point...

There comes a time in life where you reach a turning point. You realize that the path you're walking - you've been on it long enough.  You may have become stagnant and complacent; wanting more and deserving more, but stuck in fear and doubt. You know what you're capable of, but you just can't seem to build up enough momentum to get your feet off the ground.

Well today might be the turning point in your life.  Today might be the day when you face yourself and declare that enough is enough.  Today might be the day when you make a drastic change for your better tomorrow.

Only you know when you've reached that place in life and no matter how much you look to others to push you - this is a move that you have to make on your own.  That turning point could be related to your health, your job, a relationship or whatever, but I challenge you to take an active interest in the betterment of your future!  Pray to God for direction and then obey!

James 2:14...What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? 

Deuteronomy 2:3...Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Make God Your Priority...

Has your relationship with God become convenient? Has it become too familiar?  Have you become accustomed to what you are giving to Him and in return what He is giving to you?  

Convenient - fitting in well with a person's needs, activities, and plans.
Familiar - commonly or generally known.

Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek (aim or strive for) ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

In a conversation with a co-worker today, I intently listened to her for almost an hour discuss her accomplishments in life and how she is striving to attain success on a greater level by working many laborious hours, in an attempt to gain recognition for promotion.  However, throughout that discourse I was reminded of how we strive in so many other areas of our lives, but neglect to put forth that same time and energy in our relationship with God.  We will run ourselves ragged for a job and for family, but then are too "tired" to read our bibles, pray or even go to church.  I know that I've been found guilty.  

As she wrapped up her conversation, the above referenced scripture came to mind to share with her and in turn it blessed me.  If we would go after God the way we go after everything else that we desire, He said in His word that all the other stuff that we desire would be added unto us.  

Make God your priority!
