opportunity capacity impossibility
Alleged 'impossibilities' are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.
unique opportunity forever
Today is unique! It has never occurred and it will never be repeated. At midnight it will end, quietly, suddenly, totally. Forever. But the hours between now and then are opportunities with eternal possibilities.
opportunity evil-people suffering
While God is not the author of evil and He never prompts or condones sin, nothing occurs without His sovereign oversight. Others may choose to do evil deeds and God's people may suffer in the short term, but He will transform the evil intentions of evil people into opportunities for the enrichment of those in His care.
pain regret opportunity
[God] is able to take your life, with all of the heartache, all of the pain, all of the regret, all of the missed opportunities, and use you for His glory.
attitude believe mean
While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.
christian religion sacred
I don't see life divided into public and private, secular and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God.

confidence attitude choices
Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!
confidence jobs needs
There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
positive giving-up light
I'm glad . . . that Edison didn't give up on the light bulb. That Luther refused to back down. That Michelangelo kept painting. That Lindbergh kept flying.
faith body way
The crisis of physical hunger is essentially a crisis of faith. What or whom will you trust to meet your most basic needs? Will you trust the God who made human bodies, or will you seek your own way? (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)
fear worry people
Life...as God intended it enables us to live above the drag of fear, superstition, shame, pessimism, guilt, anxiety, worry, and all the negativity that keeps people from seizing each day as a gift from Him.
eye views
Choose to view life through God's eyes.
maturity people coaching
For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail...
