Clashing

The Past and The Future...

Mine seems to be clashing in my dreams. Does your past hold you back from where God wants you to go in the future? God is teaching me right now that I need to "let go" and trust in Him.

Are there things in your life that you just don't want to let go of? Can you name what those are?

My challenge is: name them, let them go, and give them to God.

Living in the Present

Sometimes in life you come to a situation where you're not always sure what to do. It's easy to beat our selfs up for past mistakes, failures or mishaps. It's easy to worry about the future, the what ifs, what am I going to do when... for me it's planning SO far out that nothing ever seems to come to pass. The stat I heard was that 80% of the stuff we worry about never happens... wow

A great friend of mine recently shared with me about living in the PRESENT. That's what Jesus did, he didn't beat him self up for past mishaps, he didn't focus on what he was going to do tomorrow. He knew his mission, he knew his values and he stuck to to them! He lived in community with the people he was with at "THAT" moment, living in the moment, living in the present.

I'm working on it, it's hard... How about you?
