Plans

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed...In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."
- Proverbs 16:3+9

Commit to the Lord your plans making sure its in accordance with God's and you will succeed.  We can make plans and say we commit everything to God but if we are leaning on ourselves and what we think is right, it may not turn out like this verse says.  Context is key.  Its the Lords plans we need to follow and committing to that brings success and I believe happiness.

Thought for the day:  Are you committing to the Lord whatever you do, or are you focused on your own plans?

New Take on Love

"And now the most excellent way.  If I speak in tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have a gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but I have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I am nothing.  Love is patient, love it kind.  It does not envy, it doest not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps not records of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always hopes, always preservers.  Love never fails."   1 Corinthians 13:1-8 This is a verse, most of us have heard before, especially if you have ever been to a weeding.  I have read this verse many times.  A lot of times I check out a little during all the de...

Q&T: Questions Without Answers only Truth

We all come to a point in our lives when we question God.  Questions come in many forms depending on the situation we find ourselves in.  I know there have been many moments in my life when I questioned God's plan, especially when it seemed to make no sense.  At this moment in my life, I am in a place of transition, and I asked: What are some of the major questions we ask God, and, more importantly, what are the answers to these questions? I found there are three major questions we ask. Question 1:  When?  When will it happen? When will my prayer be answered? When will I see a change? When will I know that God has changed things? When do I need to do what's asked of me?  There are a lot of when questions.  This question is about timing. You may or may not have heard this verse before, but it gives a little perspective: "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day...

3 Ways to Disconnect in Order to Connect

Oh the smart phone!  How did we ever live without these things?  Its hard to remember 10 years ago before the smart phone was around.  I remember actually having to print out maps before going somewhere or having to wait till I got home and on the internet to answer that burning question, "whats that name of that actor in that movie." If you note sarcasm in my tone, you weren't off base.  I have to admit I love my smart phone but there comes a point when its just to much.  Sometimes its seems that I can even survive without it.  How many of us cant go anywhere without our phone?  I know that's the way I feel.  There are so many benefits to having information right at our fingertips and being able to access information so quickly.  The problem with having any information we want at any moment is that our phone becomes almost an obsession and has lead to a different dynamic in our relationships. Some of you may have heard this idea befo...
