“‘AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says, ‘THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;”  Acts 2:17

You have a dream!  You may not know what it is, but your Creator created you on purpose and for a purpose and with the purpose, He implanted in your life a dream that He wishes to make come true in and through your life!

I don’t know what your dream is, but I do know that it will take you beyond the normal, hum drum, everyday grinding of life, so that you might live the amazing life that you were created to live.

Don’t you dare settle for less than you were created for!  It does not matter what situation you find yourself in or what circumstances you may be battling.  Don’t get caught up in the expectation of others, instead remember that you have a dream and allow that dream to pull, push and guide you to the place where you receive and give blessing all at the same time!

Your life can begin to change for the better right now, from this moment on!  There will be challenges, but as you take on those challenges, you will discover a power within you that will enable you to do incredible and amazing things.  As you begin to travel in the direction of victory and success, you will begin to discover your dream and the really beautiful thing – see your dream take shape and start to become reality.

There will be obstacles along the way, but don’t you dare turn back.  In every obstacle there is an opportunity for amazing progress!  Remember it’s a journey from where you are to where your dream becomes reality.  Start today and take it one step at a time!  Chase your dream and your Creator will help you to catch it!  G3!

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.  Proverbs 22:6

I like to go to the mall and just sit and watch people!  I think people, their actions and reactions are very interesting.  I have always enjoyed observing life and seeing things that most people miss.  In fact, I have noticed that my oldest daughter Gracie has picked up the same habit/skill!  She often sees things that I miss!  (Younger Eyes!)

One of the things that I have noticed in recent days is how a lot of parents are having a hard time saying “no” to their kids!  I am a parent, so I know how hard it is to say “no” to our kids, but sometime “no” is the right answer! We need to say “no” and make them believe “no” by explaining the reason why and then sticking with it!

Kid’s need to learn “no” and the earlier the better, because life will throw plenty of “no’s” their way.  I’m not suggesting that you say “no” just to say “no”, but I am suggesting that we should be careful about giving in to every whim and wish of our children.  If we are not careful we will raise a generation of spoiled brats that do not have the ability to deal with life when it doesn’t work the way they want it to.

Most parents have lived long enough to discover that life does not always work the way you want it to!  So train your child in the way they should go, by saying “yes” – when it is appropriate, “wait” – when they need to learn the lesson of earning their way and “no” – when they need to learn to grow!

Train them in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it and they will actually, most likely – thank you for it!
