Because You Just Might Get It

Hello!

I hope you're all having a good week so far, I know I am!

Even though my posting dates have been Monday, Wednesday & then Friday or Saturday depending on when I'm in town, I felt compelled to post another thought further to yesterday's.

If you recall, I was looking at the power in our thoughts and I want to post something I got from Dr. Charles Stanley from In Touch Ministries recently...

Be Careful What You Speak...

Hello!

It seems like time is moving at a relentless pace these days but, after last week's slump towards the end of the week, I can safely say that the slide is now arrested thanks to some careful monitoring of thoughts along with some excellent preaching from Ps. Sophia yesterday at church.

This is why, today, I want to take a look at something that people often talk about but might rarely actually put into practice and that is our thoughts and how we can be damaged by them.

Are we allowing our thoughts to run away with themselves & thus define who we are becoming...?

To Succeed, You've Got to Prepare to Fail (Or Speaking Visions Into Existence)

Hello everyone!

It's another weekend come around and I wish I could say that I'm doing okay, but this week has definitely been one of those of mixed fortunes.

I'm not going to go into why on here because there is such a thing as putting too much in the public domain, but know that I'm journalling my way through it with God as my Guide & Compass. I've got my computer back now and it's like new, though it doesn't have Windows 10 on it anymore, which is a shame because it's not as bad as some would have you think.

In today's post, I want to take a look at something that has been giving me a lot of cause for thought this week; destiny...

Inspiring All the Way, Baby!

The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine. But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker— travelers can’t see a thing; they fall flat on their faces.

Proverbs 4:18 (MSG)

What an awesome week I'm having so far!

I must admit there were one or two speedbumps along the way, but it's funny how one God-encounter can change your life, let alone the perception-direction of it!

I'm afraid I can't go into specifics on here because this is between me & God, but you can rest assured that, as I posted on Monday, my direction will be going higher and higher now...

As It Is In Heaven, It Is In Me

Hello everyone!

I had an absolute blast yesterday at church, especially as one of my friends, Luke, prophetically spoke breakthrough over my life and told me to prepare for God to do something new in me. I'm not going to share exactly what because that's between me & God, but you can rest assured that it will mean that my posts going forwards will, hopefully, be tinged with that real sense of breakthrough revealed in me.

Before that, I want to share something with you that I've been learning this week and it's from a song...

Heaven Wants My Silence, Hell Wants My Voice!

Here we go!

Time for some powerful stuff, bro's, I hope you're ready for this because it's time for me to light the blue touch paper and run!

The particular journey that I've been on (ED - which TLP has left no stone unturned on here for his faithful, or otherwise, readers) has led me to some very interesting conclusions this week...

Why Are You Here? (Not An Existential, Self-Referential Crisis)

Hey!

No, this is not some kind of self-referential existential post, even if I might have admitted to an almost existential crisis last year at some point!

In today's post, I want to look at something a friend asked me on Monday, I'll keep her name out of this for now out of respect for her...

Awesome in This Place

Hello everyone,

We're into another week and I'm certainly finding it challenging now, I don't know about you?

Just yesterday I opened up about recent struggles which readers of this blog will know all about to a good friend of mine. It was nice to hear her story as well as obtain a female perspective on my crush...

We Receive Your Rain

Hello everyone!

It's the weekend so I hope you're all having fun because I am!

I've got my phone fixed now, yet strangely enough, I'm enjoying these trips to the library more.

In other news, my computer is being repaired (ED - finally!) so in the coming weeks expect to see a rebooted version of my weekly devotional programme where I'll continue to be working my way through scripture and seeing what I can learn from it even in my current situation.

Before that, though, I have some more pressing issues that need dealing with...

Bandages & Wounds are God's Speciality, NOT Mine!

Last time out I made quite a bold claim that went something like if I'm not living out the word that I am preaching then I am preaching a lie, aren't I?

Whether or not you agree with that is not the point at this stage, the reality is that the verse I originally was going to quote I nearly misquoted before I uploaded this post, yet when I found the one I did quote, it slapped me across the face!

I guess I'd better follow it up...

Putting Too Much Pressure On the Wound (Or Do You Know Whose I Am?)

Hey everyone!

I hope you're having a good second day of your week so far, I can't complain...

Well, alright, I could, but it wouldn't change a damn thing...

For instance, I was told not so long ago by my friend Matt that I'm putting too much pressure on myself as far as my crush goes and the lack of progress that I'm seeing as I try to get to know her.

My response goes like this...

Action in the Chamber of Not-So-Secrets

Hello everyone!

It's interesting how recent events and, more specifically, recent posts on here can get a guy thinking a lot about a lot of things all at the same time.

Over this Christmas & New Year period, I have had a lot of time to myself to question a lot of things and I'm feeling challenged right now. Challenged to make sure that God stays first in my life, even in spite of what I'm going through.

Firstly, I'm not ashamed & I never will be of a certain post where I made a bold and frank claim regarding my crush...

A Welcome Distraction (Or Now For Something COMPLETELY Different!)

Well, I certainly got bold last time, didn't I?!

Luckily, this next post is a complete change as I want to post a few things that I got for Christmas...

Let the Truth Sting

Hello everyone and a happy new year to you, one and all!

I'm just watching American Dad after a few brandies and thought I'd drop a quick entry on here.

Last night, I met up with the most amazing couple in my life right now who were super kind in inviting me over for tea.

I could talk about what we talked about, but I want to tackle an issue that I have chopped and changed over the last few months; my crush...
