GOD IS NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT

Do you trust God with your WHOLE life? Psalm 37:3 says, "Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shall thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed". We need to stop treating God like a stepdaddy. We get into trouble trying to do things our way, and then we want God to fix it. GOD DOES NOT BLESS MESS!!!! We need to ask God straight up about any and every situation that comes into our life. God will always guide us in the right direction. Don't think about God after the fact; learn how to keep God first and foremost on your mind.

OUTLOOK FOR 2012

Are you excited about the upcoming year? If not, you should be. Always remember that your best days are always ahead of you. Don't use the past to determine where you are going to end up. Leave your past in the past, never to look upon it again. That's what God does; he throws our past into the sea of forgetfulness. Our past helps to make us stronger for the plan that God has for our life; it is not meant to break us down.

Take the time to ask God for direction when you need to do so. He will always guide us down the right path. Notice I didn't say the easy path; we will all go through struggles while we are on this earth. But don't let that stop you from believing for the best for yourself. Opportunities are always around us--you just have to set your mind to finding them. Take care and God bless.

A THANKSGIVING MOMENT

As God's children, we know that every day is Thanksgiving. This week marks the time of year to give God special thanks. Psalm 100:4 reminds us that God is worthy of all of the praise that is due to Him. Can we ever thank God enough for the life He has given us? Not really, but that's not going to stop me from trying. As you're celebrating this week, I urge you to give God the best praise of all. He is most deserving of it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving each and every day.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, THOUGHTS FOR VISION BLOG

Today marks a year since starting the Thoughts for Vision Blog. I just wanted to share words of encouragement to those that need it. Just know that with God, anything is possible. He will always be there for us at all times. I hope that you enjoy reading the blog. Please keep me in your prayers. Take care and God bless.

PRAYER=BREAKTHROUGH

Phil. 4:6 lets us know that we can make our requests known through prayer. Take the time to talk to God each and every day. Prayer is an essential part of our lives. Others can pray for you, but God wants to hear your voice. Just remember that prayer is not a monologue. God wants to talk to us as well to give us instruction. If you want a breakthrough, go before the Lord in prayer. Prayer is our strength and endurance. Don't go through life without it.
