Create A New You!

Let’s get started working on a new you for the new year!  Think for just a moment about the fact that you are not an accident!  God created you on purpose and for a purpose!  When you begin to really understand and believe this – it changes everything!  In Genesis we read that God “CREATED!”  We also know that God created us in His own image!  Are you ready for this?

YOU WERE CREATED BY THE CREATOR TO CREATE!  If God – the Creator – created you in His image – then He created you to create!  So, let me ask you a question:  What are you going to create today?  Today is the creation of God that offers you a blank canvas to create something amazing.  Today is the gift that God has given to you – what you do with today is your gift to God!  When you get busy doing the thing that you were created to do, you will find fulfillment in your purpose!

Let’s make it simple:  What are you going to create in your spiritual, physical and mental life?  For the spiritual – you need to create some time to spend with God.  I know you are thinking:  “I don’t have anymore time!”  This is why you have to “create” or make time!  What can you give up, let go or push aside, so that you can have some time to talk and listen to God?  Now give it up, let it go and push it aside and BOOM! – you just created time that you can now spend with God!

Now as you spend this time with God, He is going to speak to you about other areas of your life that you need to be “CREATIVE” about!  What do you need to create in your physical life?  Come on – be honest – you can do this!  What do you need to create in you mental/emotional life?  Come on – this is what you were created for!  You can do it and once you take that first step it is amazing where God can and will take you!  I hope you have some fun and fulfillment doing the thing that God created you to do!  Get busy CREATING and if you feel inclined please leave a comment that might encourage and bless others in their CREATION!

How Do You Feel Today?

This post may be a little confusing and you may have to read through it a couple of times before you get where I am going!  I was thinking about thinking about how I feel!  The first thing is this:  We all have feelings everyday!  (We know they are there we just fail to realize that we are paying attention the them, but we are because we allow our feelings to influence everything about us!  Now, if you stop to think about it for just a moment, most of us are experiencing more than one feeling at a time!  When I really think about my feelings, I realize that I am having multiple feelings at the same time!  I make a choice about what feeling I am going to give the focus of my time and energy!  You get to make the choice about what feeling you will give the most attention!  You make the decision about what feelings you will focus on!  This decision determines the direction of your life!

In this moment as I write this post, I feel tired and energetic!  I feel excited and frustrated!  I feel happy and sad!  I feel a wide mixture of a lot of things and what feeling I make the choice of focusing on influences what I will do and how I will do it.  Take some time today to think about your feelings and then make sure that you take some time to think about how you can use how you feel to accomplish some great things that will give you and those around you a better life!

New Year – New You!

What I love about the new year is the new opportunities that present themselves!  There are many things that I need to work on and the truth is:  It seems that many of the things that I will be working on in my personal life this year, are not new things, but things that I have been working on for years.  It would seem that I will experience a little success and then get comfortable and fall back into the same ole self defeating routines!   I want to change that this year!

My goal for 09 is to make progress and sustain and keep it!  I want to go to a whole new level spiritually!  I want to trust God more!  I want to abandon – walk away and leave  my will for His!  I want to get fit by exercising regular all year long, by eating healthy for fuel, not emotional support and I want to enjoy the special moments that God has given with family and friends!  I want to help – really help people succeed in all every area of their lives by starting with the spiritual and working inside/out!

I know that God has some big plans and the world has some big challenges for Michael Joe and I am looking forward to all that God is going to do with, to and through me!  I am also excited about what He is willing to do with, to and through you – it’s going to be an amazing journey!  Thanks for sharing with me!
