SURPRISES
Surprises come in all shapes and sizes. Ask for one today as you go about your business. A phone call from a friend, or a check in the mail, or a special gift just for you will eliminate the mundane. Better yet, you be the surprise someone else needs.
Psalm 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our […]

VISION
When you have vision, you can see even in the darkest places of life. Vision is more than eyesight. Vision is not deterred by obstacles, nor does it close its eyes in the storm. Vision sees beyond the natural hurdles to the finish line. Live with vision.
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Question: Do you have a vision for your life?
May you […]

PASSION
Passion coupled with vision will create energy that cannot be depleted quickly. Many compromise their own heart’s desires for something that is convenient and quickly available, instead of reaching for more. Go ahead and reach today for dreams and desires you have put on a shelf.
Psalm 20:4
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your purpose.
Question: What is your greatest passion?
May you […]

BLESSINGS
Blessings are more powerful than insults and curses. The temptation is to return an insult with another insult, or to react negatively to others instead of responding wisely. Determine to speak encouragement and good wishes to people along your path. Observe what it does for them—and for you.
1 Peter 3:9 (NLT)
Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them […]

STUCK
You are not stuck, you have been strategically positioned for this hour. Embrace today and its variables, knowing it is adding to your resume and aiding in your upcoming promotion.

SEASONS
Seasons are meant to be enjoyed, and each has value. Many are consumed with what the upcoming season will bring, and they have no regard for the moment they presently hold. Take the time to value the season you are in. Embrace its opportunities. Make the most of it. Enjoy its beauty. Anticipate its preparation for tomorrow.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT)
For everything there is a season, a […]
b12-0006-yesterday
YESTERDAY
It’s time to forgive yourself for yesterday’s mistakes and regrets. Quit looking over your shoulder. If you drove your automobile only looking in your rear view mirror you would have collision after collision. Make yesterday a stepping stone to build today’s foundations with tomorrow in mind. Look ahead. There’s hope there.
Psalm 103:12 (NLT)
He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is […]

Everyone is a leader. Whether you’re a CEO or parent, someone is following you. For better or worse, you are impacting someone.

Romans 12:8 (NLT)
If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. […]

JOY
Joy is a decision. Most of us seek joy in stagnant cisterns, especially when dealing with daily challenges. We allow happenings and circumstances to affect how we feel. Real joy is found in identifying your passion and living intentional with your gifts and talents. Choose joy.
Romans 15:13 (NLT)
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust […]
b12-0003-hope
HOPE
Hope is the mast you tie yourself to when the raging storms of life are violently moving you off course. Hope keeps you from being thrown overboard or destroyed. Storms are temporary and your focus must be just beyond the horizon, where blue skies appear. Hold tight to hope as you pass through the storm.
Job 11:18 (NLT)
Having hope will give you courage. You will […]
