Comfort Zone

I've met some really interesting people in my life. Each person has a story and I've learned so much by listening to them.
The other day I was talking to a guy at Planet Fitness. Jim* shared with me a few things about his life that were pretty surprising. However, what stood out to me the most was what happened to him after he had a heart attack.
Jim shared how after the heart attack he saw life in a whole different way. He said that even 'small things' he saw brought joy to his heart. He noticed things, where in the past, he never even paid any attention to. Isn't it amazing to see how something like a heart attack can open someone's eyes?
I too remember how I saw life totally different after I had an encounter with God ,seems strange, but somehow when we are taken out of our comfort zones we start to see life in a whole new way.
I don't like to be taken out of my comfort zone, but I've learned that even when I am, God has a way to open my eyes to things I had never noticed before..

 Trusting God is all we need.

Stay blessed.

Quit blaming yourself

When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, for many years they were beaten down. Not only physically, but emotionally. They were constantly told they were no good, they couldn't do anything right, they would never measure up. Over time, they let those words steal their sense of value. They felt inferior, insecure, like they had no self-worth. When a person is being mistreated or abused, especially for a long time; instead of recognizing the other person is doing them wrong, it's easy for them to accept the blame and start thinking they deserve what's happening. Before long, they're not only ashamed of what's happening, but they start to become ashamed of who they are. That's the way the Israelites felt. That's how the enemy twists things. But after 430 years, God brought them out of the slavery, out of the abuse. Just when they were about to enter the Promised Land, God said to them, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt off of you." Re

Gods promises are more reliable to depend on, man can fail you but his word never fails.

In Scripture, when the angel visited Mary and told her that she would give birth to the Son of God, Mary had a pretty big question. She said, "How can this be seeing that I know not a man?" Mary wasn't married and had never been with a man. She was asking about the natural realm, but we can also look at this principle in a spiritual sense, too. God is saying today, "My promises are not dependent on man." You don't have to know certain people in order to fulfill your destiny. You don't have to have certain connections in the natural because the spirit of God will overshadow you to bring forth His promises. Sometimes we think, "If I could just get my boss to like me, then he'd give me that promotion. If I could just get to that certain school, then I'd be qualified. If I just had some important, influential friends, maybe I could get a good break." No, God's promises are not dependent on who you know or who you don't know. Prom
