Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Trust not too much to appearances.” Virgil

 This seems a good word in our social media day where appearances seem more important than actual substance. Do not get drawn into how things appear concerning others, and do not trust that making yourself appear a certain way is actually a life worth having.

“People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1Sam.16.7 Conversations Within” ts 4/27/2022



"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle,"--Martin Luther King Jr.

 Well another day passed and I did not have in my possession last night what I envisioned yesterday morning. Mornings usually find me determined to do better; evenings I am often disappointed that I did not. My morning discipline starts but does not always finish strong. So, here I am ready to give it another go. Thank God for that.

The Holy Spirit is the pizzazz of life, the beat and rhythm of every song that moves us to turn up the volume and dance with delight.

 I am grateful for all the ways that our Father works in the background. His inner encouragements, guidelines, and nudges in the right direction, rise up and meet me every day. He is coaching me to do better, and be better. Thank you for your patience, Lord. Help me with my game face today.

“Just do it!” Nike

Set sail. Don’t talk about it, do it. Commit yourself to action. It is not our goals, dreams, aspirations or intentions, but getting it done that is the final measure. 

“Be doers.” James 1.22 Conversations Within” ts 4/24/2022




“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” Chinese Proverb

 If you missed out on your children growing up, don’t miss out on them now. Do not bemoan what is lost, embrace what can still be found. Lay hold of right now. Live fully in this moment and find the life that is in every breath. 

“Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do.” Conversations Within” ts 4/23/2022
