Quote of the Day...

 

It's true that laziness kills ambition, anger kills wisdom, fear kills dreams, ego kills growth, jealousy kills peace & doubt kills confidence BUT IT'S ALSO TRUE that Ambition Kills Laziness, Wisdom Kills Anger, Dreams Kills Fear, Growth Kills Ego, Peace Kills Jealousy & Confidence Kills Doubt!!!  

Without Ambition you can't go anywhere.  You will just be spinning your wheels.  How do I know?  Because I've been there.

Without Wisdom that comes from God you will be angry ALL the time.  How do I know?  Because I've been there.

Without dreams to fuel you in this journey of life you will be too fearful to even try to do anything worth while.  How do I know?  Because I've been there.

If you want growth in your life you have to drop your ego at the door of growth and never pick it back up again!  How do I know? Because I've been there and I've also had to deal with people whose egos got in the way of growth.  Our egos can keep us from God's best in our lives.  Our egos can stunt our growth and if we are in leadership then our egos will stunt the growth of those under our umbrella of authority.  It's not fair to them when our ego gets in the way.  Progress and Growth can only happen when we say goodbye to allowing our ego be in the driver seat of our lives.  

Without peace in your life you will always be jealous of what you see in everyone else's lives.  That jealousy will lead to anger and hate.  It will also lead to unhappiness ALL the time in your life. How do I know? Because I've been there.

Without confidence you will always doubt.  Confidence builds.  Doubt destroys.  How do I know?  Because I've been there.  

Be an Ambitious & Wise person who Dreams & Grows who has Peace & Confidence in their life!!!

None of that can happen unless you are allowing God to be in control of your life!!!  He's the only way that you can have true ambition, wisdom, dreams, growth, peace & confidence in your life.  Without Him Nothing Is Possible BUT With Him All Things Are Possible!!!

Verse of the Day...

 

God wants us to offer ourselves, as living sacrifices, daily laying aside our own desires to follow Him, putting ALL our energy & resources at His disposal & trusting Him to guide us.  We do this out of gratitude that our sins have been forgiven.  

Bringing School to a Close 1 Subject at a Time...

Been a busy week for Tim with school, training & working with his dad. He has three subjects done for the year. He is keeping his A status rolling so far. He got an A (98) in Bible then I ran the report for his other two subjects on Monarch where he got A’s (96’s I think 🤔) as well. So proud of Tim. He just keeps getting after it in every area of his life. He still has Geometry & Biology to go though. Hoping we get those done soon.

Fresh Haircut...

Tim got a fresh haircut today for the Meet tomorrow.  Truco at The Dominican Barber Shop is amazing!!!  He does such a great job and give Tim a shave too.  Yeah, I know, it's hard to believe that he's shaving now but he's been shaving for over a year now...LOL! 

Recovery Day...

Cryo & Compression therapy at Restore Hyper Wellness😊. The boy is getting his recovery time in today😁.

A Word of Encouragement....

 

Many times in life we have to burn the bridges of people/places we don't need in our lives.  When they are no good for us to keep going back to people/places is in fact insanity.  We need to make healthy choices for our lives.  Choices that will lead us to having God's best in our lives.  After all, all God wants for us is His absolute best!  He wants us living our best lives with Him at that helm of our lives.  

I've never regretted for one moment making the choice for God in my life.  Burning bridges was so very needed in order for me to be able to live my best life with God and I'm still living it with an incredible husband and son.  

Verse of the Day...

 

In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God.  God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into His house forever. 

School Stuff...

Yesterday was a day of doing nothing but dealing with school stuff for Tim. Trying to get ahead on the things that I have to do because next school year he’ll be graduating😱. Getting it all organized & in one place so that I can easily find it to reference it has been quite a task. So glad that’s done😁. It won't be a problem to keep up with it from now until he graduates as I add to it.

Outdoor Haven...

When we get to tear down our house and build the barndominium we want to build I would love to have an outdoor spot off the back of it like this:

Of course it needs to be by the pool in the back yard too...LOL! 

Quote...

This is a fact!!!

You might ask, How do I know it's a fact?

My answer is that I have lived both sides.  I've lived many years without God and the rest of my life, so far, with God and I know with certainty that living with God and biblical principles guiding your life is the healthiest approach to family living.  

I was raised in a home with a father who was an alcoholic and mean drunk and a mother who enabled him to be that way.  It was like living in hell on earth.  One day an elderly woman in our neighborhood asked if she could take us kids to church with her and that's where I learned about God's love and I saw for the first time in my life the unconditional love God had for me and everyone at church had for me.  They truly loved me warts and all.  They really cared about my future and wanted to help me learn that there is a different and better way of living.  Once I came to a saving knowledge of God I really got it.  I understood so much more deeply what they were showing me all those years.  It all clicked and made sense.  

Today I'm married to a wonderful godly husband who loves God with all his heart and an amazing son that we've raised to love God as well.  Our son is growing into such an incredible young man.  Everyone that meets him can't believe how well spoken and respectful that he is.  We've raised him not to be a problem on society but to be a positive contributing part of society.  We are very proud of all he's done in his young life and all that God has in store for him in the future.  

So biblical principles really do, in fact, offer the healthiest approach to family living.  There is no substitute that will give that result.
