Fourth Quarter
4 10 2016I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Philippians 3:14 NLT
We’ve entered the last quarter of the year. It’s a good time to review the “to do” list. I started this year with optimism and anticipation about goals, strategies and next steps. I am so thankful to God for my journey over the last several months. I am entering the home stretch of this year with more strength and first-hand knowledge that God is able. I have a deep knowing that God orders my steps and His leading keeps me in good stead. The list still has unchecked items, so I am thankful for next few months. It’s time to focus and buckle down on what’s left of what God is calling me to do. It’s time to finish this year strong.

Resiliency
31 07 2015Resiliency
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 ESV
The power to rebound after a set-back requires courage and faith. We need this level of constitution in our hearts and souls for everyday living. The unexpected in our lives will at times bring events that are designed to make us feel defeated and discouraged… but God. When we experience a set-back we may be tempted to stay where we are to nurse our wounds but know this is the time to get-up. The Lord has given us the tools of hope, faith, courage and determination to stand up and try again when we experience failure. This is a time to muster more strength, more courage and more faith for our relationships, our health, our ministry and our work. We may have missed the mark last time but recognize the God in us is bigger than the challenges that we face. We are His children and we are called to be strong and courageous. God loves us and He helps us to learn, grow and mature into our purpose. God is working every detail in our lives together for our good. This promise and assurance gives us the stamina to get up and start again.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

Strength for Today
4 05 2015For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
Today is a precious gift. No matter how the day ends, we will never be able to relive or recapture the time available to us on this day. I have a lot of things and maybe an unreasonable amount of tasks that I hope to accomplish today. So I want to put first things first. I am so thankful for the opportunity of today that I am asking God for wisdom, clarity of direction and strength to accomplish what is needed according to His plan for my life. I don’t want to squander time with distractions and toiling. I am asking our faithful Father to provide laser focus on His will and His ways for me. I will honor God in my thinking and my actions, with full confidence that He is able to activate the gifts in me to advance His plans for my life today.

November
4 11 2013
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
A little less than two months are left in the year and a chance to revisit the “to do” list for what we wanted to accomplish in 2013. Most of us have a list whether it is written down or if we have kept a running mental tally in our head. My list had an itemized outline about how I was going to move forward in my health, relationships, career and my spiritual life. Some things I was able to check off while others still remain prominently on the list. So at the 11th hour or in the 11th month, I review the list to see what is still doable. I have some work to do. Maybe you have a few items left on your list too. Thankfully if there are not things we can fully accomplish, there may be a way to move it to the next level. Maybe we can do the research for the project we wanted to start or maybe you can find out what it really takes to enroll in the class we wanted to take. It might be a good time to reach out to a loved one for reconciliation that should not drag on into the next year. We can ask God for the strength and direction to move where He is leading. I am so thankful for God’s blessings. He provides mercy and grace and the opportunity to move things forward. Thankfully, there is a little more time for the “to do” list for this year.
