You Can Overcome

Hello Strong Men & Women,

O.k., lately, life has been an uphill battle, the struggle is real and you are feeling fatigue.  Guess what, you are not alone in this.  Everyday is an intentional effort to have one more meeting, to improve, to make one more phone call, to deal with one more problem and to tolerate one more person dancing on your one last nerve.  Let me encourage you and myself.  Life is going to present many challenges in many ways.  It all gets you ready for the next level.  It feels like a bunch of hoops and hurdles and many times, it is, but we must stay prayed up and never give up.  Let God be our Guide.

I hope the videos below encourage you and convince you to keep going.

How To Believe

Hello Everyone,

Life is something that we can not predict it's every twist and turn, we hope, pray and anticipate.  This is where believing and faith comes into play.  We are not made to know everything, nor could we handle it if we did.  God knows how much we can bare and when we can bare it.  Thus, life happens.

So, how does one believe?  First, you must believe that God is almighty and that He keeps His word, no mater what.  We, however, must trust Him and look to Him for help.  One believes by accepting the fact that God may not come when we want Him, but, He is always on time.  One believes by surrendering worries upon Him and trusting that He will come through.  One believes by letting God be there through it all and yield not to how one perceives things should be, but, look forward to God's results, which will far exceed anything one could ever imagine.

I have learned that God is a true friend and wonderful heavenly Father.  He makes His presence known, when we need His shoulder to lean upon, He will let us lean as long as we need.  Someone very near and dear to me once recited the Serenity Prayer to me, I am so thankful.  It helped me so much.  I would always reflect on the first part.  I would like to share the entire prayer with you.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference. 

 Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.


Believe that God will come through.
