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.

The Path Of Life

Sue’s Views 
The path of life is rarely a straight line. There are many twists and turns along the way. Sometimes we get impatient because we just want to get to our destination. But God is never in a hurry ….. and He has much to teach us along the way. Main highways may be direct and fast but the country lanes are far more scenic. So ….. enjoy the ride ….. you never know what’s around the next bend!

Amazing Life Giving Creation!

 Sue’s Views

These lush green leaves speak to me of life with their freshness and vibrancy. As we all learned in school ….. leaves are a vital part of our life cycle as they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen ….. a very necessary component for us to live. They absorb the gases that are harmful for us and turn them into something life giving. Next time you see a leaf ….. stop and thank God for His amazing creation!

Purposeful Design

Sue’s Views
Everywhere I look in nature ….. I see design. Our kids are being taught that it all just happened randomly. No wonder so many people have low self esteem ….. and feel like they were an ‘accident’. Accidents produce chaos and mess. Intentional ….. purposeful design ….. produces order, symmetry, balance and beauty. You are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’ by a loving God and filled with potential and purpose! You will only be satisfied when you discover what that is!
