Expose your wounds

 

“How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.” 
― M. Scott Peck

Achieving your dreams!!!

Life is a courageous journey or nothing at all.  We cannot become who we want to be by continuing to do exactly what we’ve been doing.  If you are passionate about something, pursue it, no matter what anyone else thinks.  That’s how dreams are achieved.  Be deaf when people tell you that you can’t fulfill your dreams.  The only place where your goals and dreams are impossible is inside your head.  Once you’ve dreamed of it, you’re halfway there.  So go ahead and follow through.  Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words.  Follow your heart regardless of what others tell you to do.  At the end of the day it’s you who has to live with your decisions, not them.

Set a big goal!!!

‎"Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core, that you can't get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, your not setting big enough goals." - Bob Proctor

Overloaded and overstressed

In the culture we are in today, we are terribly overloaded and overstressed. We are too overloaded to take the next step we are being called to take. We are crumbling to the ground beneath our feet. We need to give something up when God is calling us to do it, so that we can move on without so much weight. Take the next step with the strength that God gives you. We get so scared that we won't be able to handle the stress or pain, but know you will always be supplied with what you need to get though anything if you ask God for it. God promises that he will be there and he holds true to his word. There is daily grace and strength that will appear before you. There are times that we come to a fork in a road and it seems there is no way we can get through it. We feel like we can't take this road and are paralyzed. We are led to this road for a purpose. Every broken road will lead us home to Christ. The hard times and suffering can make us so desperate we are willing to do anything to gain security. We can't jump off the road...we may feel powerless in how we deal with it and whether or not we receive the strength that God has to give us to get thru. And on the other side. when we see someone else going through the same thing, we would be able help them because we have been there ourselves.
