Blessed Beyond Belief

admin0 — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:37:50 +0000

In Genesis 14:19 Melchizedek, high priest and King of Jerusalem blessed Abrahm saying that he was blessed by the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. Do you know that that same God, still today is the possessor of heaven and earth? He does not change. Psalm 34:8 David reports that the individual that trusts in the LORD is blessed. Do you trust the LORD? Then you are blessed by the possessor of heaven and earth. The creator of the universe wants to bless you.Psalm 68:19 we read that daily the LORD loads us with blessings. What blessings have you received today? Did you wake up? Did you get out of bed? That means you had a bed and you got some sleep and you are still alive. We really need to be thankful for everything God provides us with. We are blessed beyond belief!

Happy Father’s Day

Father’s Day is this Sunday. It is a time when we honor and show appreciation to our fathers for their courage, sacrifices, as well as the discipline and wisdom they provided to us to shape us into responsible adults. It’s also a time to enjoy their company, spending time with them.

To all the men who have been responsible father’s - working everyday to provide a living for their family, being caring and compassionate helping with a sick child, instilling good values to shape a virtuous person, helping their wives around the house treating them with honor, and being fun loving quick to tell a joke or offer an encouraging smile - thanks for all you do to make this world a better place today and tomorrow. Have a great Father’s Day every day.

Mother’s Day

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I’m so grateful to have been raised by a righteous God-fearing mother who knew the power of prayer.

I wish every mother a Happy Mother’s Day.

Great Movie - Confessions of a Shopaholic

With all the push for glitz and glam and piling yourself under debt to achieve it, the timing of the release of this movie couldn’t have been better. Living under the burden of debt was cleverly portrayed in this movie. If you find yourself in a similar situation with too much stuff and mounting bills, one of my colleagues can help you sell your stuff. If you need help, let me know and I’ll pass along her info to you.

Peace During the Storm

As our economy is causing great anxiety among so many, it is a great time to reflect on all the verses the Bible has to offer about peace.

Let the peace of God keep your heart and mind is the instruction in Phillipians 4:7.

James 1:2-5 talks about the joys of trials. Facing a trial strengthens our faith and ultimately our patience.

II Timothy 1:7 tells us God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. Have you noticed when fear creeps in your ability to think clearly is really challenged? We have the ability to choose if we will allow fear to reign in our hearts and minds or if we’ll let God’s peace take hold.

Philippians 4:6-8 tells us not to be anxious or worry about anything. But rather pray and let God’s peace guard our hearts and minds. It goes on to say what we should think about - things that are honest, just, pure, virtuous, or praise worthy. Let those things dwell in our hearts and minds. Imagine how much healthier we would be if we quit worrying.

Finally, God’s phone number is found in Jeremiah 33:3 - “call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you don’t know”. How is that for a free call!

Social Media and You

admin0 — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:15:15 +0000

Having been established in LinkedIn for several years, I began using Facebook in the last few months and just started using Twitter. The possibilities for each application are impressive.

There needs to be a focus with your social media efforts. The idea is still to effectively use these tools to help you tell your story. What is it that your audience wants to or needs to know about your business? What keywords will they use to search for you or competitor? Keep these in the forefront when using social media.

The timeline has shrunk considerably for getting the word out. Consider that you would submit your press release two to three months ahead of an event for a monthly publication. Now you can broadcast it on your schedule to those in your distribution online.

While publications options have shrunk, they are still a valid tool for PR. Don’t overlook the traditional media as a tool to help you tell your story.

If you need help with using social media to tell your story, let me know. I’m speaking to groups to educate the boomers on how to use social media to grow their business.

Success in your Christian Life

Ephesians 6:10-17 talks about the armor we to use in the spiritual battle which goes on every day. We are to be strong in the Lord, in His power. We are not fighting with people but rather with Satan, spiritual wickedness, the forces of evil. God has provided us everything we need to stand and fight.

The tools include truth, righteousness, gospel of peace, shield of fiath, helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Every area is protected for a head on battle, and nothing for retreat. We are to do everything to stand and continue to stand.

All of the items are designed to protect - helmet of salvation, feet shod with peace, etc. - except for the sword. The sword which inflicts damage, is the word of God. God’s word, that we are to meditate on day and night to make our way prosperous, is the tool, the weapon of choice to win victory over our spiritual battle.

What are you going to do to be more skilled with your sword of the Spirit?
