Are you everything you want to be in God?

I'm not just talking about "having the stuff
you want to have." I mean the person that
you're being each and every day...is that
person the most fulfilled version of you
imaginable?

There's a phrase that goes "Get over
yourself", and while it may have a negative
connotation because it just sounds rude, it's
actually very often the key to realizing the
life you've always dreamed of.
Let me explain what I mean by "getting
over yourself"...

You see, I would venture to say that most
people are not living 100% authentically who
they aspire to be. I can say quite honestly
that there are areas in my life where I'd
like to be authentic and more effective in the
kingdom of God.

So why am I not? What is ANYONE not?

The short answer is "resistance". We have
fear or doubt about playing full out.

But where did that resistance come from? What
can we do about it? What is the real impact
that it's having in our experience of life?

Think about this: if you know for a fact that
there are things in your life that you'd like
to be doing but aren't doing for whatever
reasons, doesn't it follow that there are
areas of abundance that you're missing out
on? Financial, sure - but there's a lot to be
said for an abundance of joy and a sense of
passion in God

And what about health? If your body is filled
with negetive thoughts brought forth from
"holding back", very often these blocks show
up in the form of some kind of disease.

You see, EVERYTHING is going to happen for us
more easily if we can shed this version of
ourselves that is playing small and instead
allow ourselves to cultivate a vision that
truly inspires us into action in Christ.
Knowing that God has empowered us to rise above,
the voice in our heads that say "I CANNOT"
and listen for the small still voice inside
us that says, "I CAN AND THEREFORE I WILL"
and that will enable us to live our life by
design.

THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS

This famous parable that Jesus used has a lot to teach us about our money if we let it. Below is the parable and a few of my thoughts about it… Matthew 25:14-30 For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. “To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. “Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. “In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. “But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. “Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. “The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’ “His master said to him, ‘Well

TRUSTING IN OUR GOD THROUGH THE RECESSION

God has promised to supply all of my needs. It doesn’t matter whether it is a bear market, bull market, recession, depression, or anything else. This promise from Philippians 4:19 is not contingent on what the government is doing, the economy, or even our own ability. It is a promise from the only source in the universe that we can rest assured is going to back up what He promised. Trusting in God is key. It is so easy to look at our checkbooks, credit card statements and get discouraged. But, God isn’t discouraged or even surprised at what is going on. He didn’t promise that we would never have challenges or that there wouldn’t be times when things looked bad. But He did say that He would never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6) and wants us to be encouraged in His faithfulness. My job as a Christian is to continue to trust Him regardless of whether things look good or bad. It is faith (trust) that pleases God. In fact, the Bible says that without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to pleas

LET GOD HELP YOU MANAGE STRESS

Being a Christian doesn't insulate you from stress. In fact, finding ways to relieve stress is important for Christians and non-Christians alike. Because anxiety and stress are pretty much everywhere you look these days, it gets increasingly harder to see what's causing it. Why are people so stressed? Who's putting all this pressure on you? Amidst all the turmoil, if you're able to step back long enough to answer this question, you will most likely discover that person is you. Yup, you're creating most of your own stress because of your habits, attitudes, and choices. So why not just change all that stuff? Everything should be great, shouldn't it? Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were just that easy? Unfortunately for those of us who live amongst all the chaos of life, making changes seems to add even more stress. Ugh. So what are your options? Where do you start? # Spend Time with God. As a Christian, your first line of defense should always be God's Word
