Forget You

Last Sunday Sam Roberts wrapped up the series called "Forget You". Here are a couple things I took away from the message on Sunday.

1. Romans 12:2 is a relevant verse and always rocks me out of a rut. 
2. There is no formula for living a life that is less of me and more of Him. It is a journey. 
3. The patterns in my life can be changed by the renewing of my mind.
4. My mind is renewed when I spend time with God.

God give me the faith to seek you daily so that I am not always caught up in my old selfish patterns. Help me to change by renewing my mind so I will know Your good, pleasing and perfect will. Here is a link to the message http://www.lifechurch.tv/watch

We have been singing this song at RiverzEdge. I love the simplicity behind it. Its part of what makes it so beautiful when we sing it together as a church.

Get That Boom Boom Boom

Loved the story and the moves from Turf last night on Americas Got Talent. Gave it all up to do one thing well.

Encourage

Most if not all people are hard enough on themselves and the last thing they need is
someone pointing out their faults. John Maxwell points out that 4 out of 5 people don't
think highly of themselves or see themselves as they should. What I am learning is that
most people don't need advice as much as they just need to feel loved and cared for.
Most times its best to not even say a word. Even if you see a fault be careful about
sharing it, most times you don't need to because God is already working. A couple rules
I live by are...

1. Wait for them to ask for my opinion
2. Talk less, listen more "tough one"
3. Do I have enough influence to really make a difference?
4. Encourage, encourage, encourage
5. Encourage, encourage, encourage
6. Did I mention ENCOURAGE?



I got the opportunity to see and hear Chuck Swindoll live and in person a few years ago
and I will never forget when he said "in every situation be dripping with grace".

Loving this!

I think you're awesome!
