“Stick to the plan, not your mood.” Meme

Emotions are meant to follow, not lead my decisions. The same should be said of my desires, at least my carnal ones. Decisions should be governed by the Spirit of Truth, and only the desires that line up with His leading.

“There is immense joy in just watching all the little creatures in nature.” Bob Ross

I recently watched a video of a young fox joyfully dancing in a field of flowers. As I watched I could feel the pleasure of God sharing the moment with me. I believe God watches creation every single day and delights to see the work of His hands playing under the Heavens.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you…Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? “Conversations Within” ts 4/7/26

“A fresh start isn't a new place, it's a new mindset.” Meme

The adage “mind over matter,” is a powerful aspect of personal growth. Learning how to change the way we view the challenges of life can make a huge difference in how we tackle them.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of your mind. ” Rom.12 “Conversations Within” ts 4/6/26

“I have a dream, but I don't have a plan.” Landman

A dream without a plan is just a dream. A plan without execution is just a plan. Execution without the blessing of God is a waste of time. To keep this from happening Jesus encourages us to seek first the Kingdom of God. 

"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps" Conversations Within” ts 4/6/26

“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.” Ted Chiang

 As repentance is central to the message of Jesus, it should be given center stage in my own relationship with God. The first person that should come to mind when sharing the call to repent, is me. The best way I can direct others to repent is to be a personal example of it.

“repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 4/4/26
