I wonder what would happen if we quit quitting?

I wonder what would happen if we started to believe and stayed in belief? 

I wonder what would happen if we feared less and "faithed" more

I wonder what would happen if we saw a solution to every challenge? 

I wonder what would happen if we asked ourselves when faced with difficult things we don’t want to do, is this about me or is it about someone else?

I wonder what would happen if we relied on God more and self less? 

I wonder what would happen if we said, I can’t but God CAN? 

Part of stewardship is recognizing who you are - who created you -what he is capable of doing through you and then walking it out like you believe it’s possible not because it seems plausible but because God is possible. So many people look to what is in front of them, what is behind them and minimize what is possible ahead of them because they are looking to what they are capable of doing instead of what God is capable of doing through them.

There isn’t a measure stick for what we go through but there is an opportunity in there somewhere to see it for the good that can and will unfold as a result of how we choose to navigate through it. We may not ever have proof or evidence or anything tangible that will ever comfort us that the good is offsetting the bad - we just have to remain hopeful that the one who provides peace hope and comfort for no matter what we face is always there and waiting for us to seek our eyes on him and ask him - what is my role in this that you can use me for good!  

When we lack certainty we lack confidence and when we lack confidence we lack hope. Our whole world could shut down and if we held hope, we would be ok because hope is what propels us for tomorrow to be better days ahead. When hope is lost - the will follows. Can we have hope when all seems hopeless? Is what we thought to be certain giving us a false sense of hope for what matters most? 

1. Accept responsibility for our thoughts

2. Your mind - not just your behavior - must change.

3. Think through your problems rather than just react to them.

4.Take your disabling thoughts captive through confession.

5. Choose to focus your thoughts on the right things.

6. It is possible

There will never be “overness” to the people who have been sick. There will never be an over to those who who have lost loved ones. Life will go on but the impact we all choose to have remains the same - it is up to us who we choose to be. I choose to be different. I choose to be stronger, wiser, more disciplined and by all means I will see things with a tremendous amount of more gratitude from the things like my backyard and the space it is providing us in a time of quarantine and the lens I will choose to look though is with more compassion for those who throughout this whole experience who put their lives on the line for mine.

When we are living in relapse we are not making progress towards the point to it all. 

God desires to give us wisdom on our lives. He showed us in the bible how the wisdom he gave Solomon was for the purpose of stewarding what God had given Him. He was given much and Solomon prayed for God to give him the wisdom to know what to do day in and day out with all that God had given him.

Do you see yourself as having much? What if we thanked God in advance for the much he has given us, believing that what he has trusted us with- he desires us to have the wisdom to know what to do with that which he has given. The more we understand who He is, what He desires for our lives then we are less likely to experience the relapse.

Here is the 8 simple steps to have clarity for it all:

I know there are more areas of my life I could be covering with more prayer. I have some solid things to which I stand and know that when I consider 4 things  in making the bigger decisions - especially that impact our family with finances, income, and various ministries to pursue I want to share those things with you.

You can never go wrong with being prepared - whether we are navigating a health crisis like we are today with the coronavirus or whether we are simply navigating the every day challenges our immune system is constantly being challenged by

80% of our immune system comes from our digestive system. It's often referred to as the second brain of our body. And for good reason. Have you ever heard the saying, go with your gut feeling ? That is your second brain talking. Intuitively it knows. And intuitively its more easily and readily compromised 

What compromises it?

I have had a crazy amount of impact in my 48 years of life - but the most impact I started having is when I said yes to faith and shut the door on the 4 letter F word FEAR and chose  to step out in FAITH, losing the ability to have it all together and have every t crossed and i dotted for how it will look. It’s not about how it looks. It's about how we obey. It's about who we choose to be!  God's word is very clear - lacking nothing for our ability to have the life we are designed to live. https://choosing-the-best-you.teachable.com/p/choosing-the-best-you
