Pathway To The Future

Sue’s Views
One thing I’ve learned from my journey so far is that no experience in life is ever wasted. Everything we go through is preparation and training for what lies ahead. Our struggles build strength ….. our mistakes form wisdom and understanding ….. our loneliness leads us to a closer walk with God ….. our losses teach us that everything comes from Him. So ….. there’s no point living with regret ….. guilt ….. or shame! Admit your failures ….. confess your sins ….. seek forgiveness where necessary. Then see the past as your pathway to the future. Then ….. go forward in God’s strength ….. wisdom ….. knowledge and understanding. There are people ahead waiting to be encouraged by your story!

Friendships

Sue’s Views
One thing I love about Facebook is the connections with people all over the world. People from your past ….. people who have moved away ….. loved ones who live on the other side of the world ….. acquaintances you meet by chance. Friendships are so valuable but easily neglected. Just want to let all my friends and family know how precious you are and I thank God for every one of you.

How’s Your Marriage?

Sue’s Views
How’s your marriage? Yes! It can feel like you are two very different species at times. And ….. yes ….. there are times when it seems like you’re not on the same track. But God, in His wisdom, brings along someone to complete us ….. not someone who matches us! Each has something the other lacks. Marriage is the perfect training ground for maturity! There’s no room for selfishness ….. or pride! The most important phrases we must learn if we want a happy marriage are ‘I’m sorry’ ….. ‘I forgive you’ ….. ‘I love you’!

Go Straight To The Top!

Sue’s Views
If you are tired of the struggle of trying to be heard ….. maybe you are speaking to the wrong person. The person you are appealing to has their own mindset ….. and mindsets are not easily changed. Sometimes it’s a matter of pride ….. no one likes to be told they are wrong! Try appealing to God who has the power and authority to bring down arguments and false beliefs. He alone can shift those stubborn mindsets and bring truth and understanding. Whether it’s about law changes ….. international conflicts …..  or personal relationships ….. it’s always good to go straight to the top.

You Are On Your Way!

Sue’s Views
Do you have unfulfilled dreams? Is there something on the inside of you that makes you dissatisfied with where you’re at? Don’t despair! You are probably where you’re meant to be right now ….. but it’s not where you will end up. That desire within is God given. It enables you to endure on the tough days ….. to push through when it seems impossible ….. and to build strength for the future. Every stage of the journey is vital. Remember ….. in the words of Joyce Meyer ….. ‘You may not yet be where you want to be ….. but you’re not where you used to be. You’re on your way ….. and you’re ok!’

Try Journaling

Sue’s Views

So how’s your year going so far? Is it just me or is time speeding up? I spent some time this week reading through some of my journals from previous years. I don’t always keep one but I’m so glad I took the time some years. I was amazed ….. and encouraged by what God has brought us through! When faced with new challenges ….. we so often forget what He has done for us in the past. I definitely recommend journaling. If you’ve never done it ….. why not give it a go! It will not only encourage you ….. but also the generations to come!

The Path Less Travelled

Sue’s Views
Is God calling you to do something difficult ….. maybe something you haven’t done before? Feeling hesitant and uncertain? The path less travelled only attracts the adventurous and the ‘pioneers’ ….. but remember God has already walked that path and knows where it leads. Your obedience can make a pathway for others! If He is calling you ….. you can be sure He will be with you every step of the way.

Words

Sue’s Views 
Words have tremendous power. You can actually change someone by the way you speak to them. A pleasant, kind word is like honey ….. sweet to the soul and healthy to the body. A harsh, critical word can do damage and cause a person to shut down. Think before you speak …..  is it 
True
Helpful 
Inspiring
Necessary 
Kind?

The Antidote For Fear

Sue’s Views

Fear of what might happen is one of the devil’s most powerful weapons! With so many tragedies happening around us ….. it’s easy to fall for his tactics. The antidote for fear is ‘faith’! Peter the disciple was able to walk on water during a storm when he kept his eyes on Jesus ….. but the moment he looked at the waves ….. he started to go under. Jesus caught him and said, ‘You of little faith! Why did you doubt?’ Jesus is the same yesterday ….. today ….. and forevermore. Yes ….. there will be more storms! But the same Jesus will be there to walk you through it ….. and to catch you if your faith weakens. The way forward is to focus on His power over the circumstances ….. not the circumstances themselves!

Go With The Flow?

Sue’s Views
Is your philosophy on life to ‘go with the flow’? It sounds good ….. but whose flow are you going with? Are you just letting life take you wherever it chooses? Are you flowing with friends ….. things you read in the media ….. stuff you watch on tv? The only ‘flow’ you can rely on is the flow of God’s Spirit. He will guide you through life and lead you to your destiny with wisdom. He will give you the strength to keep going when things get tough ….. and He will keep you refreshed when you get weary.
