Prioritize Your Purpose

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

If you’re like most of us, your To Do list for the day can grow longer by the hour. Rather than prioritize what seems most urgent, zero in on what will yield the most (and best) results. Doing that first will strengthen your foundation to do the rest. ~ SHA

Giving Your Best

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

“Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.” ~ Dale Carnegie

Persevering Power

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Consider this wisdom today: “Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.

What do you need courage to accomplish this week? Will you embrace the challenge?

Seeking God

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

My first novel, “Speak To My Heart,” leads a fictional character to a
deeper understanding of God, while my first nonfiction book, “Who Speaks To Your Heart?” encourages readers in a devotional fashion to listen more closely (and courageously) to hear God’s will for their lives.

Here’s a ministry of song that also encourages a heartfelt relationship with the Master. Click Here to listen to MaryMary’s “Speak To Me, Lord!”

Keep Moving Forward

Hope your Friday is off to a great start!

Pretty Wings

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Are you the same person you were five, 10, 15 or 20 years ago? Have you stayed the exact same, or challenged yourself to grow?

Some people view change as a bad thing, because it sometimes makes you a different person. But why not keep your innate integrity and heart, while stretching yourself to be better? While it’s wonderful to be a content caterpillar, the butterfly wings you receive with growth and transformation allow you to soar through life on a whole new level.

Challenge yourself. Write a mission statement for your life and your dreams. Take baby steps toward those goals and pretty soon, you’ll see your wings developing. Before you know it, you’ll be flying.

That doesn’t mean you should forget your caterpillar journey. Take that part of your life with you, to make you a better butterfly. Then give hope to others who are on their way, too.

Wisdom’s Well

Friday, August 20th, 2010

“Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within.” ~ Proverbs 20:5 (from The Message bible). What well are you drawing from?
