Me, me me.  What's in it for me!?  Not a lot, until you can turn that focus outward.  That's not always easy to see or do.

Seriously, no one loves hearing "no".  Sometimes that's the only answer.  So, how to you handle "no"?

Waiting, and waiting, and waiting.  Sometimes waiting can deflate our passion for an idea or opportunity.  God gives us a solid foundation on the way to opportunity.  It's called patience, and God has saved some for you.

Temptation, it hits all around us.  Some days more than others.  So the question is, when it arrives, how to I make the good choices, the Godly choices?

We all have expectations and wishes about our lives.  Some are realistic, other's are pie in the sky dreams.  What we desire is sometimes not immediately or realistically going to happen.  So, just how do we manage that time?

God doesn't want what's left over at the end of the day.  God wants each of us allow him to use our whole being in service.  Don't worry, he'll leave plenty of time and energy for the rest of the stuff we need to do.  

Are you stuck in the spiritual moment.  Spiritual growth doesn't have a term or a season or an end date, when you graduate.  Every day is an opportunity to do it better.  This is a life lone journey and you still have a lot to learn.  

Your daily walk in faith has to be carefully cared for.  You take vitamins to keep your mind and body strong.  You exercise because it keeps you energized.  The same thing has to be practiced daily with your faith.  In between the vitamins and the steps, stop...and take a moment to reaffirm your faith.  It works.

Some folks get that degree and the benefits that come with it.  Other's, the quiet ones, manufacture the same level of success without the fanfare.  Degrees are wonderful, but the power behind success is the work you put into every moment in life.  

Life puts us places where we see and experience those things that just aren't right.  We are not designed to walk away from oppression.  We are designed to deeply live in every moment.  As they say, if you see something, say something.  Better yet, do something.
