What is my purpose in life? How can I make a difference?

There’s a difference between skill and calling. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean that’s what you’re supposed to be doing. Sometimes that’s just to get to the next level

Too often we put our expectations on top of God’s vision for us. When those expectations aren’t achieved, we think God has let us down…or that we never really heard God to begin with.

If I were in a car accident today, who would I call?
If I won the lottery today, who would I tell? Who would care about either?
I’m ‘middle-aged’, which means if I’ve lived 1/2 my life, has it mattered? What would come of the next 1/2.

Hugs from your kids, especially teens, can make any day better.

It’s awesome to see your kids grow and becoming incredible young adults…it’s also bittersweet, because you know you’ll too soon be alone.

Do I really ‘hear’ God, or is it wishful thinking?

If I have to lose to make someone else win, I’m ok with that…but I want to see someone else win. I want to know it’s worth it.

I wish I was independently wealthy…so I could give it away every day.

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything. Yet other times I think I’ve got nothing good to bring.”

Reaching the lost’ should not be a catchphrase, it should be a lifestyle…it’s messy and tough and embarrassing and risky and you might be seen ‘with the wrong crowd’ in the ‘wrong places’. If you’re not willing to live with that, then don’t talk like you are.

It’s tempting to take the easy road, but only if you’re willing to put up with that nagging, non-stop, keeps you up at night feeling that you could be doing so much more. I don’t want to live that way!

Life is short. Life happens too fast. Every minute we waste is a minute we’ll never get back. I don’t want to waste any more time!

Have a Great Day
