I have a choice. I will choose to live intentionally in the strength of God's power or to become a victim of circumstance, indifference, and other people's decisions. Today, I refuse to live defeated, discouraged, or depressed. I choose to lean into His divine power and purpose for my life. David wrote these words for all who choose to live life strong.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, [a]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident. (Psalm 27:1-3)
Make this declaration today...
"I will not faint or be feeble. I will have strength and power greater than average or what is expected. I will be able to stand firm and to sustain any and all attacks. I will endure because I am established and well-fortified in my God."

For the next few days, I'm going to share some declarations from God's Word that have helped me to encourage, strengthen, and lift my life. A few months ago I read a book by Frank Damazio on the subject and began to make these declarations and get them into my spirit. My outlook changed and I felt momentum beginning to build. However, life happened and I need a refresher...hence our blog series this week :)
Tonight at 5p all of the coolest leaders in the world...those individuals who are truly "SUPER STARS" in the kingdom are gathering under one roof..."ONE ROOF." We'll share victory reports, create the future, and gather the troops!
YES!! Every pregnancy stereotype has been confirmed!
Well..."it's 5:00p somewhere" in the words of the classic Jimmy Buffet/Alan Jackson song. It's actually 5:27p here and I'm still at work...exhausted after an extremely packed day...trying to keep up with the pace of life...
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!“ For who has known the mind of the LORD?
Or who has become His counselor?”
“ Or who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

A friend of mine (Neal) reminded me of a phrase I hadn't heard in a while...maybe ever. "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!" A great phrase to use in a heated discussion or moment of frustration...(guys, don't try this with your wife) HOWEVER, it has taken on new meaning recently.
Oh, well...here it is! The first blog...
