Do You Have A Faith Strategy?

What is your strategy when it comes to growing in your relationship with Jesus? In other words, do you have a plan for how you’re going to prioritize spending time with Jesus and growing closer to Him? One thing I’ve learned over the years is that if you’re going to be successful at something, you’ve got to have a game plan. You can’t just go through life winging it. You’ve got to be intentional and purposeful. Otherwise, you’re not going to be prepared when life throws you something out of left field.

Looking For The Right Person vs. Becoming The Right Person

I made my first “future husband list” when I was a junior in high school. I was on my way to my first college tour, and I got into a conversation with my parents about the possibility of meeting my future husband once I was in college. And after that conversation was over, I figured I should probably start seriously thinking about the qualities I was looking for in the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.

Seeking Jesus In The Struggle

God is way more interested in who you are becoming than where you are going…which is why He sometimes allows us to remain in a tough season. He wants to grow us, prune us, mature us, sanctify us, and ultimately draw us closer to Himself.

More Pruning Is Necessary

A couple of years back, my friend Cece sent me a video about how to grow an avocado plant, and it was absolutely fascinating. For those of you who know me personally, don’t worry. I’m not trying to actually grow avocados. We all know I have a black thumb. She was trying to help me with a speaking engagement I had. Anyway, I digress.

Are You Investing In Your Relationship With Jesus?

So many of us want to have strong relationships with Jesus. We want thriving prayer lives. We want fulfilling quiet times. We want to minister to other people well. And we want to see God bless us and answer our prayers. But many of us don’t want to put in the work and effort that it takes to reap the benefits of a healthy relationship with God.

Make Your Life Count

As follower’s of Christ, we should all be living with the mentality that our lives have purpose. Regardless of whether you live to 28 like Jim Elliott, or to 108, your life needs to count. It needs to make a difference. You were created to make more than a decent living. You were created to make an impact.
