Now Is The Time...Choose Today!

There is no time like the present to make a decision to change the very course of your life!

Was your 2008 all you hoped it would be? Every thing you wanted and more? What gains were made? What goals were achieved? What decisions or choices did you make that improved your finances, your family, your health, your walk with God?

Now Is The Time...Choose Today!

Take an honest evaluation of yourself and where you are. Are you where you want to be?

I am not talking about a New Year's resolution which typically is treated like a new item that you were once excited about but soon lost its luster and appeal, finding its way to the back of your closet, cabinet or tool drawer. I am talking about a real and personal dedication and investment in YOU!

Take the time to access your life...spiritually, your health, family, finances, education, etc. Don't be discouraged if you seem too far away from where you want or need to be. Remember, there is always room for improvement and growth and with God's help, nothing is impossible!

Now Is The Time...Choose Today!

Dust off your dreams, brush the cobwebs off your goals, light a fire under your feet AND DO IT NOW!

What goals have you set that you have let lay dormant? What things have gone undone? What things do you need to focus on, achieve or activate today to improve your tomorrow? Perhaps it is simply a phone call, perhaps it's a degree, perhaps it is praying more. Whatever it is, NOW IS THE TIME.

Choose Today...And Choose Wisely!!

Your Choices Today Will Shape Your Tomorrow!!

The Place Where GOD Speaks

And You Listen...

The Place Where GOD Unfolds

And You Embrace...

The Place Where GOD Reveals

And You Accept...

What Will It Take For You To Arrive?

How Long Will Your Journey Be?

GOD is always speaking...

Through His Word...

Through His People...

Through His Spirit...

Through His Love...

Are You Listening?

Are You There Yet???

Just before dawn,

WHAT REALLY MATTERS?

Going through life without honestly asking yourself this question or finding the true answer is dangerous!

How else are we driven?

How else are we focused?

How else are we motivated?

How else are we inspired?

Finding what really matters begins when we find who really matters. As our creator, our God...

He matters!

Who better to drive us?

Focus us?

Motivate us?

Inspire us?

God has designed each of us with unique talents and gifts

to develop and utilize to bring Him glory and for our success!

So discover Him....

Discover His purpose for your life....

And discover what really matters!!!!

Is Love Worth Finding?

In fact, does true love really exist?

LOVE....

A word that many say but few understand.

Selfish? Love is not...

Jealous? Love is not...

Prideful? Love is not...

Untrustworthy? Love is not...

LOVE is not any of these things.

Love is the direct opposite.

Kind? Love is...

Humble? Love is...

Truthful? Love is...

Unfailing? Love is...

GOD IS LOVE and in Him, true love can be found.

No conditions...

No hidden agendas...

No strings attached...

So for those on the journey

To find romantic love and

Their soulmate...

Find God first as He is Love itself!

And He will clearly lead you to

All that is good for you...

Including the mate He has chosen.

And know that love...true love awaits thee!

For God awaits thee...

And love cannot and does not exist without Him!!

So is Love Worth Finding?

Absolutely!!!!

• Develop a Thick Skin - Do all you can to not take the situation personal. Not being offered a higher paying job can cause a lot of human emotions to be expressed in the workplace. If at all possible, take the high road when interacting with others.

• Take Your Time Learning the Duties of the New Position - Don't become defensive and try to make a positive impact too fast. Making a decision just to make a decision is a big management mistake. Relax and let yourself grow into the new position. You don't have to apply for the job you already have.

• Invest in Your Own Personal Development - Consider taking colleges courses and/or continuing education classes. Ask yourself the question, "what can I do to better enhance my ability to do a good job?" Doing so will benefit you in your current and future career endeavors. Purchase a few good management books.

• Let Your Work Speak for You - Doing a good job speaks volumes. Remember that what you do will have more staying power than what you say.

• Be Aware of Office Politics - Pay attention to whom the stakeholders are in your organization, but don't play office politics.

• Enter Life's Classroom - Sometimes, an uncomfortable situation can cause you to learn a valuable life lesson. For example, your job might help you identify how you handle stress. This can be a positive thing if you learn how to properly deal with the situation.
• Learn as much as you can from the current challenge.

• Find Healthy Outlets Outside the Workplace - Exercise and other positive activities than can assist you relax should be considered.

• If You Make a Mistake, Own Up to it - It is impossible to know everything when you are in a new position. Not owning up to mistakes can cause bigger problems for you in the future.

• Don't Attempt to Demand Respect, Remember its Earned - Treating others well and doing a good job, is the best way to earn respect.

• Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously - Remember your job is something you do, not who you are as a person.

• If at All Possible, Only Leave For a Better Position - Do all you can to use this experience to enhance your job skills and advance your career. Don't be quick to leave the job due t a former job candidate being in the same office. Strive to keep moving forward.
