counsel

Thinking and meditating, more and more lately on my life, situations and things that have happened, where I am at, where I am going……make decisions, pray, ask for guidance, seek counsel, and don’t be afraid to take that step!

My life has changed in SO many ways the last several years – some bad, some good, some great! Some because of things that have happened to me…….Some because of things that I made a choice on….Some because of things I am setting in plan for my future….

I was talking w someone the other day, and I just said, “I pretty much just LOVE my LIFE”

How many people can say that?How many people want to say that?
Are you making decisions in your life TODAY, that might allow you to be able to say that in the future?

Like they say, if you keep doing the same things, you have always done, you will keep getting the same things you have always got…..
Do you want to be normal?

Do you want just what is there for you?

Or do you want ALL that God has for you?

Are you working, praying, reaching for those stars?

Even if you fail *some*……landing somewhere in the skies and heaven – might not be such a bad thing 🙂

What is your DESTINY?
What is your DECISION today, that will effect your FUTURE tomorrow?
