Thursday's Thoughts- Success

Success

Everyone wants to be good at what they are doing. Athletes want high end scholarships, writers want million dollar book deals, influencers want the most Instagram followers and so on. It feels great to succeed. I'm not gonna lie, I love it when I accomplish big goals.

I want you to succeed, trust me, but I have a question. Who gets the glory? When you get that scholarship or million dollar book deal do you say, "Oh, yes, I am great, thank you for telling me." or do you say, "Thank you, but I couldn't have done it without God's help."

Yes, you did work hard to get to where you are right now, but it took God's strength to get you there. You wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Him. Only He can establish your plans.

So how do you find success with God?

Whenever you set a new goal, ask God to help you. Commit both the process and the results to him.

Dear God, direct my path let others see you in my success. Amen.

Winter Wonderland

This past weekend the weather decided it was about time that Arkansas had some snow. When it snows there's only one thing to do, go outside and take pictures! What you got there? I'd like some range cubes please. Make sure you get my good side. Oh yeah, there you go. Now, where is my food? Mom and Jacob think this looks like Mater from Cars. My baby is getting special treatment in the form of her own bucket of range cubes. Little Caffie is hunkered down and trying to stay warm. I'm not sure she likes this weather anymore than I do. My boy looks so pretty in the snow. You got that food yet? I'm STARVING. I love trees with snow on them. The world is white And at the end of a long cold day I get some Daisy snuggles. They are the best when it's cold outside. She is forever my baby. Snow is not my favorite because it's cold and it makes chores harder to do, but everything does look prettier.

Thursday's Thoughts- Would You Stand?

Would You Stand? I have a very important question for you. Would you stand? This sounds like a simple inquiry, but it just may prove to be one of the most difficult ones you will ever be asked. What if you are sitting in church Sunday morning and suddenly masked men burst through the door holding rifles? Imagine that the leader announces that anyone who doesn't deny Christ will be shot. Maybe half the church chooses to denounce God and leave, but will you? Will the threat of death turn you away from your faith? Let me tell you about three men in the Bible who let absolutely nothing get in the way of their faith. Travel back to the Old Testament with me and see a man who set his faith in God. His name was Noah. God told Noah to build an ark because He was going to send rain to flood the whole earth. Any other man would have laughed because, up until that time, it had never rained before, but Noah and his sons got right to work. For years they labored while their friends and ne...
