BURN YOUR TENT....

WHAT IS HOLDING YOU.... 


One day, a man decided to travel by ship with his friends. While in the middle of their journey, the boat began to sink. Everyone tried to escape by swimming but it was all in vain.  All drowned except this man who succeeded in clinging to a floating object. With the effect of strong winds, the object took him very far, to a small island where there were no men or animals, just a few insects. With the sweat of his brow, he managed to build a small box entirely made of straw. 


He stayed there for several days eating fruits and began to get used to his new life of suffering  (even if he did not get used to it). He eventually began to lose all hope of seeing his family again any day.

Every night he lit a fire in front of his house to warm himself. One evening, as usual, he lit the fire. He stayed there for a long time until he dozed off. Late in the night, he was awakened by an overwhelming heat: It was his straw hut that caught fire. He cried, accusing and blaming God, shouting, "Oh God, what have I done to you to hurt me so? You separated me from my family to bring me to this deserted island, then you killed all my friends and now you let my hut burn. Why are you so hard on me? It is better to die because I am tired of living in this suffering!"

But at dawn, he saw a small boat coming towards him. When the boat landed, he ran straight for the captain and said to him in astonishment, "Captain, how did you get here?" No boat can get there unless he gets lost. " The captain replied, "In the night we saw a fire and we thought it was a burning boat, and  we did not arrive immediately  because the journey was long. We thought that you used the fire in order for us to find you. "The man cried, fell on his knees and asked God for forgiveness, and he got into the boat and went home and reunited with his family.


LESSON: God has many ways of solving our problems. You can lose a job and think that God has left you when He wants to give you a better job. Your friends can leave you but God will always be present. Your family too can leave you but he God sees a Judas before you do.

    Wow this is so encouraging. Things may be crumbling down and there seems to be no hope, but I won't give up on myself nor give up on the plan that God has for me, because He knows best. Thank you James for this. The best read for today. God bless you.

TOMORROW ...... PROCRASTINATION

-
Image
Procrastination is the act of delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline. Some researchers define procrastination as a "form of self-regulation failure characterized by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentially negative consequences." It's Friday afternoon and the clock is ticking. You're working furiously to complete a task before the five o'clock deadline, while silently cursing yourself for not starting it sooner. How did this happen? What went wrong? Why did you lose your focus? Well, there were the hours that you spent re-reading emails and checking social media, the excessive "preparation," the coffee breaks, and the time spent on other tasks that you could have safely left for next week. Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone! Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into. In fact, according to research and speaker Piers Steel 95 percent of us procrastinate to some degree. While it may be

LIFE PLAN

Remember when we were younger, and people used to ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up? It may seem silly to ask an eight-year-old what they hope to do with their life. But maybe this small talk was also a way to get us to think about what we wanted from life. And most of us answered this question with confidence, revealing our hopes and dreams. However, as we grew older and learned how to manage the curveballs life threw at us, we might have lost sight of what we once hoped to become and achieve.  If you catch yourself daydreaming about how your life could be different or maybe just need a better outlook for the future, look no further.  We will cover the basics of life planning, identify strategies and goals to think more about, and learn some tools to get our lives moving on a better track. Ready, set, go. What Is Life Planning? (A Definition) I have a question for you, dear reader. What do you want to be when you grow up? I won’t be upset if you rolled your eyes or let out a

Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else’s. This is to
