Have you ever made a plan and God redirects it? Well let’s just say God throws me curveballs a lot. Thinking we’re staying with a team for a while and not. Buying a house we think is forever, and move. A friendship that I thought was life-giving takes a turn for the worse. I’m not usually one not wanting to step into a new adventure and friendships but…now I see I’ve not been listening to the Lord how I should. We can outline a plan for the next steps as long as we include Jesus in the planning and realize when He’s redirecting our plan for his glory. Listen for the God-given...

Today we will give you quite a few...

Recurring thoughts are a hard habit to break. But mind management helped me see I couldn’t clear all the racing emotions on my own. These examples of self-limiting beliefs that lead to God- restricting actions need to be identified. What if we could remove the barriers that cause spiritual jet lag by naming the deceptive thoughts and countering them with the truth? I know we can. Self-limiting beliefs hinder our ability to overcome raging thoughts and hurtful memories. We cannot stop damaging comments from others, but we can choose what builds a home in our mind and heart. Choosing to...
