donald — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 19:05:19 +0000

I don’t know about you but being “held accountable” has not be a very positive experience for me. It has almost always been a negative, “missing the mark” time for me. I can’t recall, though it might have happened, where my successes were celebrated. It was always looking for what didn’t get done or not …

Patience

I was listening to a podcast today on patience and it hit me right where I’ve been. More that I’ve been impatient than patient. When things are going well, patience is not so much a problem but, oh boy, when things are rocky, patience seems to go out the window. Reviewing my goals and the …

As I read Scripture I see there are lots of things God intended for us to receive through Jesus life, sacrifice and resurrection. John 1721 I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, Father, are joined together as one. I pray for them to become one with …

Goal setting has been a challenge for me most of my life. Missing a goal caused me deep emotional pain. So I chose one of two ways to avoid the disappointment. Either I didn’t even set a goal or I set goals that I knew I could reach. This was very uninspiring and not beneficial …

Seeing Jesus heal someone, and being part of that, whether “big” or “small”, is so exciting. And watching the effect of an encouraging/prophetic word blossom in someones eyes is amazing. I pray for more and more as we draw closer to Father God’s heart. I wonder, though, if having our focus so much on healing …

Seasons and Friendships

donald — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 16:58:56 +0000

As I was thinking about seasons in our lives and how they change from time to time, I realized that is also about friendships. Not that we stop being friends, just that the closeness or time spent with them can change as a season changes. As each of us moves into new places and relationships, …

Influencing those around us

donald — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 15:59:57 +0000

A question for us: in what ways are we influencing those around us? Many of us are unaware of our impact on others as we go about our daily lives. We get focused on doing our job, getting our shopping done or any other task we have. We tend to view other people primarily as …
