Bad Eye Sight

You find what you look for: good or evil, problems or solutions... I'm a pretty positive minded person and i really try to look for the good in whatever situation I'm in but so many people actually seek out the bad in everything. The sun is shining and the birds are singing and they are looking for rain clouds and bird poop! There are no perfect people so if you look long enough you'll find the flaws. However, i also believe that if you look deep enough you'll find the heart of the person that will always be amazing.  So my challenge to you is this... Look for the good in whatever circumstances you're in today... you might be surprised ;)

New Glasses

I’ve never HAD to wear glasses but I do notice that as I’ve gotten older that some things are a little harder to read than a few years ago. I’m not “speaking” blindness on myself (lol) I’m just pointing out a fact of life. There are simply times in our lives that we need a new prescription in order to see accurately. In our spiritual lives the same is true. As we grow up spiritually our eye sight changes... But it is the opposite in the spiritual. As we mature in our faith-walk we need to occasionally get new glasses in order to see properly. The storms of life tend to distort our perspective and we fail to see things with clarity. The truth is that we do feel these pressures in life. We do hurt and are hurt. We do fall flat at times and we do find ourselves in bad deals, even unfair situations, on this journey. But if we will try to look at our circumstance from a different perspective things may look a lot different than before. What if the very break-through or miracle is right under your nose and you just can’t see it? I can’t count how many times I’ve lost my keys or my cell phone and became so frustrated that I blamed everyone and everything for taking my phone! :) then I find them in some weird place like in the fridge.... (true story!) so to wrap this up, maybe you need to shift your outlook a bit. Try being grateful about what you do have instead of what your losing or don’t have. I could post on that but it would be too long and Andy Andrews can tell the story much better than I can. Start with a grateful heart.... Be thankful for the small things.

Launch

The new series that i will be starting this week is called Launch. So many of us never get anywhere because we are stuck on the launch pad of life. We have so many dreams that never happen... Why? So many life goals that we never attain... Why? That's what we are talking about. I want to see us reset our launch timers and get prepared for a successful mission. To break free of Gravity, so to speak. What chains are keeping you on the ground?
