THE SIXTH HARDEST - THE 6 R's of Leading
Cup of Soul Podcast
As a women, we wear lots of hats in which we are call to lead. We are capable people. However, we must be able to lead ourselves first- in order to fulfill what God has planned for our lives, we must submit to his way of doing things. In Chapter 6, we are reading about God asking us to lead and follow. Understanding that not only are we called to do both, but we are equipped to do both. To try and separate them does not work as they need one another. This week’s podcast, we are going deeper in Leading- get an extra cup, We will be taking six qualities of LEADership-and ...

The Fifth Hardest- God is Everything Part 2
Cup of Soul Podcast
God is…. When we say that God is, we must first identify who he is. . Then, what he is to us personally. For me I would like to say that he is my everything. Saying that is a powerful statement that sums up my life. To proclaim that he is my everything is the result of him meaning nothing to me at some point in my life. That may sound harsh because it startled me as I was writing. To even think that my everything now meant nothing prior to the point of accepting Jesus (change) into my heart. It brings me to wonder how I even made it to the place of him being my everything...

The Fifth Hardest Thing-Holding On and Letting Go
Cup of Soul Podcast
One of the hardest lessons we have to face, which we try to deny, is that we are in control of so little in our lives. Life is really one change after another. One thing that doesn’t change, however, is God’s truth that guides us. I’m grateful for the steady hand His Word offers when the roller coaster of life takes us on one ride after another. Oftentimes we will receive advice to "hold on" when it is time to be safe and "let go" when things aren't good for us. Each one of those is centered around what is comfortable. Now go here, what has God asked you to hold on to? To let go...

Integrity
Cup of Soul Podcast
This week's episode - Let me ask you the same question Job’s wife asked, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity?” (Job 2:9 NKJV). When the world around you becomes corrupt, do you cling to purity? When life gets tough and temptations come, do you remain firm in your principles? Do you still trust God? Will you swerve in your commitments or persist in your faith? Honesty. Goodness. Character. Righteousness. Goodness. All of these words are connected to a much heavier word -- Integrity. What we discovered is that integrity is a matter of the heart. It...

The Fourth Hardest Thing - ProceedWait
Cup of Soul Podcast
Do I proceed or do I wait? When sitting at the stop line, I anxiously await a red light to turn green and give me the go-ahead. When cruising towards an upcoming intersection, I tense up at the sight of a yellow signal, as I am forced to instantly determine if I can stop safely or if I should proceed with caution. I wonder if God sometimes chooses to act like a set of traffic lights. Sisterfriends, Get those journals! For instance, how often do we want to say or do something despite our conscience telling us otherwise? When you think about the goal behind a signal they are used to give...

The Third Hardest Things-Fail/Succeed Part 2
Cup of Soul Podcast
The Third Hardest Things-Fail/Succeed Part 2 ”What if I fall? Oh, my darling but what if you fly!” I absolutely love this quote. I’ve seen it posted lots of times. It’s often accompanied by captions that have encouraged and inspired me but I often find myself thinking… yeah the flying bit is cool but what if I do fall? Candis says, Last week we talked about failure/success and what it means in terms of how we are moving with God. This week we are talking through the scriptures and what the WORD tells us about failure and success. As we are reading...

The Third Hardest Thing -Fail/Succeed
Cup of Soul Podcast
Welcome to Failures Anonymous. We sneak in the backdoor and meet in the basement. Some of us are in disguise. We wear the masks of good performance, the many hats of admirable behavior, the coats of enviable credentials, and nice-gal necklaces. Failure is a word almost no one wants to be associated with. Our failures don't have to be final. But we need to learn the ways that let us move beyond them. Start by listening to God's Word. Candis says... You are going to need an entire journal for this one! This week's episode is about failure and success - but not the way...

The Second Hardest Thing- Be Tolerant/Intolerant
Cup of Soul Podcast
What God Thinks About Tolerance Question: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the greatest, how tolerant are you? “Tolerant of what?” you might ask, thinking of politics, religion, sports, or intelligence. Most of us think of ourselves as being quite tolerant, and certainly if we are in the minority, we demand tolerance and respect as a kind of sacred right. But the deeper issue evokes another question: Should we be tolerant at all? You know, Christians are often characterized as being intolerant. It’s a negative word that...

God is….
When we say that God is, we must first identify who he is.
.
Then, what he is to us personally. For me I would like to say that he is my everything. Saying that is a powerful statement that sums up my life. To proclaim that he is my everything is the result of him meaning nothing to me at some point in my life. That may sound harsh because it startled me as I was writing. To even think that my everything now meant nothing prior to the point of accepting Jesus (change) into my heart. It brings me to wonder how I even made it to the place of him being my everything without him meaning nothing to me before. .
.
Grab your pen and paper.... let's go in.
.
He is my everything because he has to power to become all I need because he is!! God is! God is! God is and will forever be my everything. He has proven himself to me in more ways than I will ever comprehend with my natural mind. I am a believer in him and his works. How about you? Have you tried him? Is he your everything? If he isn’t I strongly recommend trying him for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
.
Sisterfriend, neither of us are qualified to write of these things because we don't live it perfectly, but because we have tested what we speak in my own daily life for over alot of years between us. We have come to know this amazing God who keeps leaping over all my flaws and weaknesses to love me with all His heart, and I want others to know Him as they can, for their joy and for His glory.
Let's talk about it.
God Bless!
Theresa and Candis
