Tea Time 24: Things are working for your good.

Romans 8:28 is one of my foundation scriptures that keeps me look at things in a positive light when things don't go the way I really wanted them to go.

Tea Time 23: Do you have a habit of playfully testing God? 

I sometimes say what I can to get what I want out of my moments with God, and that really is not a good thing. 

I believe He listens to what we want, but I also believe that we should get to know Him and not test the limits.

Its easy to see what's right in front of us. But we have to look at the big picture to understand what God is doing in front, behind, and all around us, making things work for our good.

Tea Time 21: understanding signs and having the right focus to deal with them appropriately.

Tea Time 20: Rejecting God's Help

Many times over the years I can look beck and see where I humbly and respectfully declined God's help, even though I may have asked for it.

Tea Time 19: Gotta get out there!

Do you have a solution to a problem? Are you taking that solution to those who need it? Or are you waiting on them to find you?

Tea Time 18: Are leaning on God's Wisdom?

Thinking big and according to your God given vision will put you into some God-Sized-Thinking situations!

Do you call upon His wisdom daily? Thinking small doesn't really require much, but are you thinking big enough to know that "this is going to take God to make this happen..." type thoughts?

Many of our stories and experience are setup for our testimony so that when others hear them, they build their faith too,  and everyone benefits.

Tea Time 17: Honor the giver by using the gift as the giver intended!

My reflection time comes from a statement my pastor gave today. "The giver is far more important than the gift".

As we reflect on the many blessings we've been given:

Don't let the gift replace the giver.

Don't let the gift cause you to forget the giver.

Treasure the gift, and honor the giver.

Honor the giver by using the gift as the giver intended!

Tea Time 16: What are you looking at?

How you view others is important, but where are you looking? People try to put up many faces and facades, but looking on the inside, thought process and mindsets will reveal a clearer picture to you. Showing you their character and motives behind their behaviors!

Tea Time 15: Are you building your network?

Two questions: Are you building your network? and to dig a little deeper, what kind? What kind of people are you trying to put in place to help you grow and go to the next level?
