When you don't know what to do...

When you don't know what to do...










When you don't know what to do, do what you know.

I coined this phrase a few months back, 
when the world as I'd known it 
pretty much started to crumble.
I froze.

What on earth could I possibly do at a time like this 
that would make any difference?

The 'time like this' can be any situation 
you are facing that is new, 
scary, crazy, 
upside-down, inside-out,
or just downright hard.

Do what you know.
Do what is familiar.
Do what is comfortable.

For me, back then, I made some stuff 
I knew people could use and I gave it away.

For me, right now, it's pray.
There are days I don't have words.
I like to think God still hears my silence.

Friend, don't overthink it.
In the midst of your pain,
anger, frustration, resentment,
heartache...
Tonight, just do what you know.

And let God handle the rest.

Until next time... blessings!

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all." Psalm 34:19

Hey Soldier... MOVE!

Hey Soldier... MOVE!










If you have ever found yourself, or are currently in, a season of struggle, frustration, discouragement, ready to throw in the towel... this is for you.

"I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet"

Those are lyrics from a song by Toby Mac, "Move (Keep Walkin')". If you'd like to listen to the whole thing, HERE is the link.

If you have ever found yourself, or are currently in, a season of struggle, frustration, discouragement, ready to throw in the towel... this is for you.

Those seasons of life are normal. You need to be present in them, feel them, work through them... these are the seasons where you can pitch your tent, but DO NOT build your house! That is not where you are meant to live.

Those seasons will grow you, strengthen you, and prepare you for what's ahead.

"If you could see how close you are to a life altering breakthrough, You would be praising Me already." 

God is working. God is moving. God is doing His thing.

If you have ever found yourself, or are currently in, a season of struggle, frustration, discouragement, ready to throw in the towel... this is for you.

"Praise Him in advance.
Praise Him destitute.
Praise Him weary.
Praise Him broken.
Praise Him frustrated.
Praise Him hurting.
Praise Him until your heart breaks.
And watch the heavens unfold in your favor."

Praise is what keeps you moving. 
Praise is what brings down the walls.
Praise is what carries you through to the next season.

Friend, this is for you today.

God is not done with you yet. MOVE, keep walking! 

"Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat."

Here's a link to a short video where I dig a little deeper into this (and get a little fired up!).

Until next time... BLESSINGS!
