In this episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac dives into the powerful shift that happens as we grow older—we don't stop caring, we just start caring about the right things. Michelle opens up about redefining priorities, from family and health to activism and authentic living. She shares honest reflections on showing up with integrity, especially in the world of social media, and how setting boundaries is a form of self-respect. Whether you're navigating burnout, feeling overwhelmed, or questioning your purpose, this conversation will inspire you to align your actions with what truly matters. What We're Talking About Finding your voice often comes with age and experience. Caring is about prioritizing what truly matters to you. Family time can take precedence over a clean house. Activism is more important than seeking approval. Health should be prioritized over hustle and busyness. Integrity in social media is crucial for authenticity. We care deeply about the issues that matter to us. Being selective with energy is essential for well-being. Caring is a form of rebellion against societal expectations.

MIRACLES FOR YOU Sondra Ray & Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles
There is only one problem in life we will ever have to solve. This is our "imagined separation" we think we have from our Source, from God, from the Universal Life Force. We think there is "death" in the midst of the truth of Eternal Life. I imagine an "alternative" to the Absolute Truth. LOVE has no opposite in truth, but we have projected all kinds of conflict and hate in a Universe that is Only Love. In Truth and Beauty there are no "problems." This is the Heaven State in which we are created. This END of "separation" is the true UNION with the Universal Life Force, our Source, and our full realization of this fact. Only in our "projection of thought" could we "dream up" a "hell” of “separation,” full of “problems." When we bring our "thought" to an end, we make contact with a state of consciousness free of all "problems." We extend the Will of our Creator when we act from the place of Pure Joy. This is “pure Consciousness”— “Sat, Chit, Ananda.” Then, the Action we do in Life coming from this Pure Consciousness would have to yield results of Pure Joy. There is nothing but Grace in this emanation from Truth. There is tremendous productivity and satisfaction in this State of Being free of all "problems." Our Actions produce Love, Peace and Joy—free of all projections of pain and suffering. Let us recognize our "problem” (of separation) has been solved. We are ONE with LOVE, and embrace a State of Being free of all problems of conflict and sorrow.
Purity of Heart: Seeing God in Our Actions and Intentions - Matthew 5 - Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarbor or watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard Summary: In this thoughtful exploration of purity in the context of Christian faith, Pastor Donnell challenges the traditional notions tied to external ritual purity, arguing for a deeper, more intrinsic understanding of purity as taught by Jesus. Starting with the historical context where "cleanliness" and "godliness" were associated with ritual and external purity, Pastor Donnell shifts focus to the purity of heart that Jesus emphasizes. This teaching confronts and transforms the Pharisaical obsession with external purity, highlighting a profound gospel truth: what emanates from the heart defines one's purity. Pastor Donnell delves into the scriptural account where Jesus teaches that true defilement isn't about what enters one's body, but rather what springs forth from one's heart, including evils like greed, malice, and deceit. He articulates how these internal impurities manifest externally and corrupt human interaction and community. By revisiting Jesus' response to the Pharisees—who focused intensely on the superficial—Pastor Donnell emphasizes that the purity Christ seeks is heart-centric, involving integrity, sincerity, and an alignment of one's inner and outer lives. Concluding the sermon, Pastor Donnell draws upon personal reflections and biblical narratives to illustrate how living with a pure heart influences our perception of God and our spiritual journey. He introduces a compelling portrayal of how individuals who cultivate purity of heart—those whose actions and motives are consistently aligned with God's will—experience a profound sense of God's presence and guidance in their lives. By encouraging the congregation to embrace this inner purity, Pastor Donnell not only redefines the concept of being 'clean before God' but also invites believers to engage in a transformative process that aligns their deepest intentions with divine purposes, leading to a life rich with spiritual insight and divine encounter.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of 'now' in our spiritual lives. The key scripture, Hebrews 11:1, emphasizes that 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' We're challenged to understand that faith operates in the present, not the past or future. God is actively searching for individuals willing to step out in faith and make a difference. The story of Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6 beautifully illustrates how God can use anyone who's willing, regardless of their perceived inadequacies. This message encourages us to seize our 'now' moment, understanding that our obedience today can unlock God's blessings and purpose for our lives. Chapters Chapter 1: The Power of Now in Faith 0:00 - 23:50 We explore the concept of 'now' in faith and how it impacts our relationship with God. Chapter 2: God's Perspective on Our Actions 23:50 - 43:07 We explore how God views our actions and His eagerness to partner with us. Chapter 3: The Urgency of Salvation 43:07 - 55:26 We discuss the critical need for salvation and the importance of acting now.

Sometimes the footnote is to help clarify for the reader Sister's sense of the meaning of a certain word or idea, and at other times to better convey the sense of God's tone when He spoke.) Write, My daughter. - What shall I write?[1] That the Triumph of My Immaculate Heart is very near. My beloved children, All of you, who were entrusted to My Motherly care by My Jesus as He was dying on the Cross. Since that Hour I have carried each of you – across all time – in My Heart. Since that Hour I have loved you as My children. All of you. Each of you. As My Jesus' Heart was split open by the lance, thus opening the floodgates of Grace and Mercy for all the children of God, so My Heart was split open by the pain and the obedience of that Hour – the mystical sword that rent open My Heart, allowing the infinite Love of the Father, of My Son, of the Most Holy Spirit of God to widen It, making It capable of loving and receiving all His children in this new Refuge prepared for them – a Refuge that has been present and active since then. How much you are loved, children. How much. I wish to speak to you today – the anniversary of My first Apparition to My little ones at Fatima. Children, do not set My Words aside – not these nor any of the Words I have spoken to you throughout the centuries – Words that have come forth from My Immaculate Heart – from the Heart of your Mother – to help you, to guide you, to correct you, to warn you. If I speak, I do not do so of My own accord – I speak the Father's Will for you. I speak My Son's Love for you. I speak the Divine Light shed upon you by the Most Holy Spirit of God. If you turn a deaf ear to My Voice, you are turning a deaf ear to the Voice of the Most Holy Trinity Who never ceases to speak, to communicate with His children; Who – as the Everlasting Font of Life and Love – ceaselessly pours out His Mercy in myriads and myriads of ways, continually drawing your hearts back to His Own. By My example and by My prayers for you –My ever-present intercession on your behalf before the Throne of God – I teach you how to be truly attentive to the action of the Most Holy Trinity, that you might cooperate with this Divine Action in every moment of your lives. Blessed are they who, setting aside their own criteria, allow Me to form them according to the Divine Will and the work for which each soul was created. Come to your Mother, and allow Me to remove all the cobwebs of so many useless reasonings, of so many harmful and prideful thoughts, of so many lies that the enemy has woven around you. How can you see clearly, if your eyes are still covered by the scales of pride and arrogance? Come to Me, little children, that I might remove these stubborn scales with My tears, and cleanse your eyesight in order to see the true Face of My Jesus – the true Face of the Father. And that you might recognize the Signs We are giving you for these times – that you might see and recognize the unfolding of the Father's perfect Plan, and humbly receive the Grace you need in order to take your place in My Army for the accomplishment of this Plan. Children, this is the Hour that unites all other Hours – all other Ages. Each preceding Hour with its Grace, its purpose, its fulfillment; each preparing the coming of the next Hour. Each Hour acting in the present moment of the Father's Plan, which stretches from the beginning to the end of time, and carries all souls and all events to the fulfillment of this Plan for His Great Glory and the salvation of all of His children. My beloved children, contemplate with Me the beauty of this Plan of the Father's Heart. Contemplate with Me its vastness, its greatness, its Wisdom. Its Justice and Mercy. My children, open your eyes, but above all open your hearts through true docility, humility and trust, that the Light of the Most Holy Spirit of God might enlighten you, and, being able to see, you might be able to cooperate in His Work. This is what I ask of you during these days of the Cenacle – of this great New Cenacle – in which I join you to My Heart and to the prayers of all of your brothers and sisters, who throughout the centuries have asked for His Coming, who have prepared by their Faith and prayers and offerings your cooperation with His Grace, and who bring you encouragement in this darkest of Hours. I join you to My Heart, children, and I ask that – entering the safe refuge of My Heart, by means of your consecration, your entrustment to Me – you make an act of humility, Faith, and trust, that I might show you the Truth – that I may place it in the center of your being, like the Jewel of incalculable value, the Anchor you need in these times full of confusion and lies of the enemy, but full to overflowing with the Mystery of the Divine Action unfolding before you. My children, the Father's Plan is active everywhere and at all times, bringing about the eternal good for all of His children. Who can limit His Action? Who can say, “God would never do that”? Who – from such a limited, darkened, fallible, minuscule mind – can say to Him Who Is, to the One Who created all that is, to the One Who knows and sees every movement of every heart – who dare say to Him, “You cannot do this”? My children, My children – silence. Silence before the Mystery of God. The loving and trusting silence that is the filial act of adoration to the Father – recognizing that He is your God. And you are His creature, His child, willed into existence by Him. Silence before His Perfect Will – that is the perfect act of obedience – that does not question, does not doubt. “God knows why.” The thrice-holy Silence that humbles the soul, that beautifies it and makes it capable of receiving the Divine Light. The Silence, My children, that is born of true, living, simple FAITH. My beloved children, consider all the times that I have been sent to you to warn you and to bring you the Light of God to see the reality surrounding you as God sees it. HOW MANY TIMES, CHILDREN. AND HOW LITTLE I HAVE BEEN HEEDED – IGNORED, AND EVEN MOCKED BY THE ARROGANCE OF SO MANY OF MY BLINDED CHILDREN, THUS BLOCKING TORRENTS OF GRACE THAT WOULD HAVE DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN TO HELP MY CHILDREN. Actions have consequences, My children. And the setting aside, the despising of Our Gifts, has tremendous consequences not only for the souls who reject them, but for the whole world. Have you not yet understood that each time a soul rejects Our Grace, it affects all of Our children? And each time one soul responds to Our Grace, obeys the Will of the Father, We can pour forth rivers of Grace upon allof Our children? Do you see how important then, is your receiving or not receiving Our Gifts, Our Grace? My beloved Army, do you begin to understand now what it is that I need from you in order to lead you into battle? [gentle smile] Do you understand how it is you fight? How it is you help Me reconquer the hearts of your brothers and sisters? IT IS THROUGH FAITH – LIVING CHILD-LIKE FAITH – AND THROUGH YOUR ABANDONMENT TO THE FATHER'S PERFECT WILL. And do you begin to understand too then, what the greatest obstacle is to Our Plan? The horrendous LACK OF FAITH that produces contempt for Our Things, Our Words, Our Actions, and that is born out of the seed of pride planted by the enemy and fed by arrogance and fear. And how this seed of pride [has] fallen into so many of the souls of My Priests and Consecrated children, and found fertile soil, turning these souls into unrecognizable brambles of thorns and bitter fruit, useless – completely useless – for Our Plan.[2] Do you understand now, why then, the Fire that will come down from Heaven is needed to consume all these brambles and free My children from the corruption of pride? [Sigh] My children, this is why I ask you to come to Me, to enter the refuge of My Heart, to humble your heart and your mind before the Divine Mysteries – and to let Me cleanse your eyes and hearts, that you may be able to receive the fullness of the Light of the Most Holy Spirit of God, and you might see as He does, and, being able to see, you might cooperate with His Plan. My children, I have said to you that His Plan stretches from [the] beginning to [the] end of time, from one end of the earth to the other. Consider, then, that all Our Works cannot be contained or limited by any human consideration or reasoning. My children, how much it grieves Me when you attempt to limit Our Works. How many unnecessary obstacles you place with such reasonings in the paths of My little ones who believe with child-like Faith that Our God can do as He pleases, when He pleases, what He pleases – HE IS GOD. HOW MUCH PAIN has been caused to My little Messengers, the “voices” entrusted with Our Voice, to carry Our Words to you. HOW MUCH THEY HAVE BEEN MADE TO SUFFER. BY THE INCREDULOUS AND PROUD, ESPECIALLY AMONG THOSE FROM WHOM THEY SHOULD RECEIVE THE GREATEST HELP – PRIESTS AND CONSECRATED SOULS. I DO NOT FORGET THEIR PAIN. Nor the humiliations they were subjected to – their Glory now. My Melanie and Maximin; My Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco; My Bernadette; My Conchita, Mari Cruz, Mari Loli, and My other Jacinta [smile].[3] My beloved sons and daughters in Medjugorje, who still receive Me and bear witness to the Mission entrusted to them. And My beloved children – who gave their lives in bloody deaths out of love for Me and My Jesus in Kibeho.[4] And how many more, whose names are engraved in My Heart for their fidelity and their obedience and their endurance. HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. And how it pains Me to see them reviled. Do you not see that it is MY VOICE that speaks to them, across the ages? And that this VOICE contains the VOICE of the Most Blessed Trinity, and that this VOICE is LOVE and MERCY? And that if you were attentive to It, you would perceive the DIVINE MYSTERY OF GOD at work in that moment, in that place, for you, for the accomplishment of the Father's Will at that moment. Every Divine Action has eternal effects – it can never be limited to one time – its effects are felt, they continue to produce fruits of everlasting life. But each of these Divine Actions is given at a precise time, for a precise reason, My children, and should be received by you as such – as helps sent to you at that moment, for that moment. My children, if the Father sends His Gift, His Action, will He not also send His Light that you might know that it is He Who is acting? If you are united to Him by Grace, by your Faith and humility, if you know His Voice, His Heart, shall you not recognize His Voice and His Action? And, recognizing the Father, shall you not also be given light to recognize the deceits of the Ancient Serpent, the eternal Ape, who in his pride mocks all the works of God? Come to Me, My little ones, if you wish to know the Father's Heart, if you wish to recognize His Voice, whether He speaks in silence, in action, or through His Messengers. In My Heart you find the Heart of My Jesus, Who is One with the Father. The Most Blessed Trinity has made My Heart your Refuge, a safe haven in which you can meet, and know, and love the Father, the Son, and Their Most Holy Spirit. My little ones, the Father's Plan is at work. Do not fear, do not despair. My Army is being gathered. I Am uniting you day by day, continuing to form you, to show you what it is that We need of you, how you cooperate in Our Reconquest. At each of My visits I have asked for what was needed as a response from My children and from My Church at that time– to allow the Father's Plan to be fulfilled at that time, to prevent unnecessary suffering. What I ask of you now – what is needed of you now – is your FAITH, TRUST, ABANDONMENT and HUMILITY – the true Silence of the attentive heart, ready to receive the order of his Captain in order to fight in the Great Reconquest. HOW CAN YOU ACT AND FIGHT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO – AND HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEING ASKED, WHAT THE ORDER IS, IF YOU ARE NOT ATTENTIVE TO YOUR CAPTAIN'S VOICE? AND HOW CAN YOU HEAR YOUR CAPTAIN'S VOICE IF YOU DO NOT SILENCE YOUR THOUGHTS – YOUR OWN VOICE – YOUR CRITERIA, YOUR WILL? AND HOW CAN YOU SILENCE YOUR MIND, WILL, AND HEART IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE? My children, WHAT I ASK OF YOU IS YOUR FAITH. YOUR HUMILITY. YOUR OBEDIENCE. YOUR TRUST. Come, children, let us bow down together before the Father of Mercies, before HE WHO IS, and, with Me, offer Him your love, your adoration; and together with Me say, “Father, may Your Will be accomplished in me and in all of Your creatures. Here I am, Lord, to do Your Will, to love You and serve You for all eternity.” My little children, I bless you with My Motherly Blessing. I gather you to My Heart in these days of the great Cenacle – the time when I gather all of My children, all of the Church into My Heart, into this holy Refuge prepared for you – as the Hour fast approaches when the Divine Light will pour down, will thunder down upon all that is to reveal once again the TRUTH. Do not be afraid, remain in Me. Remain in My Son, under the shelter of His Blood, behind the Shield of His Cross. My beloved ones…[smile]…I love you. I bless you, and I bless your families. Entrust them to Me and do not be afraid. Amen. He is coming. To Him be given all Glory and Adoration and Thanksgiving and Praise for all ages. To the ONE WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME, TO THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, TO THE SON ALL-HOLY, TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOST HOLY – HE WHO GIVES BREATH TO ALL THAT IS – TO HIM MAY ALL HEARTS ADORE, AND LOVE, AND OBEY. AMEN. Your Heavenly Mother, Who leads you by the hand, Mary Most Holy, Queen of all the Angels, Queen of the Apostles and Mother of the Church, Who loves you and protects you. ---------- [1] On some occasions – such as in this Message – when I am given the order, “Write, My daughter,” my soul immediately perceives the serious and solemn tone with which it is given and thus it responds without thinking, “What shall I write?” – words that seem to me to express the attitude of the soul of being particularly attentive to what is going to be said, as if this act of special attention and obedience were needed from me before the dictation can begin. And I perceive that what They say right after – usually a short phrase – is of great solemnity and importance. They have a different weight than Their other words. [2] I understood that, though it is especially harmful when the souls of Priests and religious fall into pride, that this spirit of pride has spread into many, many souls, destroying simple Faith in them, allowing the spirit of godlessness to spread widely and deeply. “And will not God vindicate His elect, who cry to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them? I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:7-8) [3] Our Lady is confirming Her Apparitions – and those who received them – at LaSalette (1846), Fatima (1917), Lourdes (1858), Garabandal (1961-1965), Medjugorje (1981-present), Kibeho (1981-1989). I had a sense that even though She mentions these specifically, She is also including all Her other “minor” Apparitions throughout the world in recent times – and there are many. [4] As I was transcribing these paragraphs I thought of how varied the witness required of all these “messengers” is – some were asked to offer their lives while very young, enduring much physical pain and illness; others were asked to enter religious life; others have been asked to wait, and wait, and wait for the fulfillment of the events announced to them, while living ‘normal' lives in the world; others must endure the complete and constant invasion of their privacy; others are asked to offer their lives in bloody martyrdom; others to offer the white martyrdom of life-long humiliations, misunderstandings, loneliness. All have had to endure the tremendous trials of Faith. It seems to me that there is a great lesson in this variety of witness – even though the experience itself of receiving an Apparition is very similar, what is then required of each person can be very different.

As humans, we influence reality whether we are conscious of it or not. Our Actions, habits, and mind state shape and mold life around us every step of the way. In this episode of “The Subconscious Mind 2” I go into more detail about the origin and nature of the Subconscious Mind. Programs are constantly being created neither good nor bad as masters of this life we can override programs and take control of our reality.
"The Good" Embracing Growth through Challenges and "The Bad" The Ripple Effect of Our Actions. Contrasting the good with the bad, we will explore how the "good" things in life often come with their share of "growing pains." We will delve into the story of Hezekiah from 2 Chronicles 32, discovering how his faithfulness and resilience during difficult times led to remarkable outcomes. Along with how "the bad" choices and actions can have a significant impact on others. We'll take a look at the life of Ahab from 1 Kings 16:29-34. Understanding the results of living and leading in a manner that either helps, hurts, or hinders those around us. Next week we will confront the uncomfortable reality of "the Ugly". The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

Hey hey! We're back for Part 3 of our Enneagram series. I couldn't let this series go by without taking the chance to re-air a conversation I got to have with one of my most popular guests ever, Beth McCord. You may recognize my friend, Beth. She is an Enneagram expert and coach, best-selling author of multiple Enneagram books, and founder of Your Enneagram Coach, the leading platform for all things Enneagram. Beth's enneagram work is all about how to use this amazing tool through the lens of the Gospel. She has written a book for every type, and with her husband, Pastor Jeff McCord, wrote Becoming Us: Using the Enneagram to Create a Thriving, Gospel-Centered Marriage. Listen in as Beth and I talk about: How understanding the Enneagram types as nine different perspectives can grow your compassion for others (especially your spouse) Why assuming is so harmful, Beth calls it assumicide Two ways not to use the Enneagram What has surprised Beth most in all of her work with the Enneagram and couples Beth McCord is an Enneagram expert, world-renowned speaker, coach, and teacher of over 20 years. Beth founded Your Enneagram Coach and co-authored Becoming Us: Using the Enneagram to Create a Thriving, Gospel-Centered Marriage with her husband, Jeff. They live outside Nashville, Tennessee, and have two adult children. Favorite quotes: “The Enneagram is pointing out why we do what we do, our heart condition, and then the Gospel shows us how we will heal it.” “The Enneagram gives us the nine lenses that all types see through. Each of us has on a particular lens.” “Each of the nine types are going to have the things that make them soar and things that make them struggle in life.” “Don't use the Enneagram as a sword or a shield.” “Think of the Enneagram as a flashlight or an x-ray. It is pointing out what is there or what is broken. The x-ray cannot heal you. It just exposes what is wrong and needs healing.” “The Enneagram is this great amazing tool but it's the Gospel that transforms it.” “It means you have resources and the Gospel is always there to heal and restore when we are willing to surrender and depend on him to do the work in and through us.” Teaching Series from Remaining You While Raising Them: Habits The Power of Identity with Our Actions (43:47) Links to great things we discussed: Beth McCord Website Becoming Us: Using the Enneagram to Create a Thriving, Gospel-Centered Marriage Becoming Us Beth McCord Instagram The EnneaDog Guy Ritchie's The Covenant Order your copy of Remaining You While Raising Them here.

This sub-series starts with looking at some of the over 50 "One Another" statements in the Bible. In this episode, Nate points out OUR CALL to BEAR with One Another. We must then us OUR ACTIONS to implement Our Mentality of Lowliness/Gentleness, and OUR COMMUNITY in Long-suffering/Bearing with/and Keeping Unity with our fellow believers and others we wish to attract to our community.Quote: “In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centered on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution (Holy Roman empire). Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America, where it became an enterprise.” -Halverson

The question is not “if” you are creating a culture, but instead, “what kind of” culture are you creating? I once worked with an organization who had degenerated from an incredibly healthy culture to a toxic damaging one. The reason for the shift was how the new leader of the organization chose to lead. The environment changed from a servant leadership model to a dictatorial ego-driven model. The results were devastating.Creating a positive and effective environment is as easy to understand as ABC. Our Actions plus our Beliefs equal our Culture. While it sounds simple, in reality it takes intentional work and perseverance to create and sustain a healthy culture.Think about your home. What kind of environment are you creating? Saying one thing and doing another will result in a low trust, highly skeptical atmosphere. If we say we believe in strong communication but refuse to find time for meaningful dialogue, we create a disconnect between our words and deeds. This is a recipe for toxicity in our relationships.In our professional and personal lives, learning how to create a strong culture is essential for success. I invite you to take a moment and listen to the Crossing The Line podcast. On this edition, I break down the ABCs that lead to strong relationships. When our actions and beliefs align, we will make a difference.eaglecenterforleadership.com
Have you thought about your Life, and the implications of your existence? You do understand that each day you live you have the ability to create something?

If you are able to leave an honest rating and, or, review it would be appreciated. There's a GOOD BOOK out there that starts with the first sentence: In the Beginning God created…. Our first introduction to God is as Creator. 25 verses later in that same book, in the same chapter it tells us our status; God class! We are imagers of God and as His Imagers we have been given similar qualities, and the most important is FREE WILL. Our Thoughts, Our Words, Our actions, Our attitude, and many other daily choices- allow us to create an experience called, OUR LIFE.

Does it feel like you can never get everything done, no matter how much you do? Do you wake up thinking about all you need to do, and go to bed thinking about how you didn't get it all done? Brene Brown calls this "hustling for worthiness." This is one of the most common struggles for high achieving moms and we are getting to the root of it in today's episode! Hustling for worthiness is tied to the rule we discussed last week: "I need to fix it." We tend to assume "fixing" means DOING something. We have a bias toward action. So when we don't feel like we are good enough, our instinct is to take more action. We think that doing more, crossing things off the list and being busy will make us feel good about ourselves. But that's not how it works. Our ACTIONS don't determine whether we feel good or bad. Our THOUGHTS do that. We are working backwards. The result is an endless cycle where we set ourselves up to fail, no matter what we do. How can we stop the cycle? We notice when we are trying to hustle in order to feel better. We practice interrupting that habit so we can focus on our thoughts instead. We cultivate a habit of resting, even if it's just for 2min a day. We practice believing we are always enough, and that it has nothing to do with our actions. Other highlights: - How capitalism, patriarchy, and ADHD contribute to our action bias - Why we get addicted to action, and how rest can feel like being in "detox" - I am a human being, not a human doing - Don't just do something, stand there - I am 100% worthy & lovable, no matter what - I have time for what matters most to me - I can do anything but not everything Mentioned: Brene Brown: https://brenebrown.com/ (Quote from Daring Greatly) Simone Seol: https://www.instagram.com/simone.grace.seol/ Insight timer app: https://insighttimer.com/ Ready to apply this to your own life?

What is the motivation of your heart? Why do you do, what you do? Do you ever question, or even, challenge your motives? As Leaders, we are called to live an examined life. In our journey to be self-actualized, in other words, to maximize the potentials we were created with- we must regularly examine our Words, our Actions, our Thoughts, our Character, and our HEART! When was the last time you did a look back, and examined your motives for doing what you did? Are you driven by what is in it for you, or are you driven by, seeing a need, and meeting a need? On Today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, it is ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today’s story is about two potential heroes: The Coyote and the Camel. The story is titled, the deceitful coyote, but it could well be named, “Today’s ruling elite”. What makes someone a hero, is not who they are, it is what they do, or do not do. Leadership is NOT position, it is action. Our Actions speak louder than words. Words are nothing more than a few letters puts together, without the energy to back them up. What really matters is the heart. The underlying motives, the reason WHY, we do what we do. What takes someone from a potential ‘hero’, to a disappointing, ‘zero’? The answer is the motivations of the heart. The book of Wisdom tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it”. The Hebrew translation of ‘guard’ means to keep above all keepings. So, above ALL you guard – your marriage, family, bank account, passwords, your car, or house – guard your heart with more vigilance than anything else. What we need in America, in our communities, in our workplaces and our in homes are leaders whose hearts are pure, and motives are to help others. Will you be one of those NEW LEADERS? Rule #1 about being a leader, “It’s not about you.” We need to get off of ourselves, and put the needs of others, before our personal needs and wants. At the end of this story consider, who is the hero and who is the zero? Also consider how the outcome could have been much different with 2 different hearts. Consider how this story would play out if you were the Coyote, or if you were the Camel?

2 Corinthians 6:3-10 The post Explaining Life by Our Actions appeared first on First Baptist Church Fairview Heights.
The context in which we are examining today's Verse of the Day is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, which says: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 ESVWithin this verse, we see the juxtaposition of fourteen pairs of contrasting activities. These examples show us how life is comprised of various different seasons, as mentioned in verse 1. So often, we think that we know what would be best for ourselves and the greater society, yet the desires of our hearts and ideas often conflict with God's will for our lives and His greater will for humanity. This verse is timely given our current culture, that we are to live by faith in God's Word, and that we are to fully trust God's judgement in all things. So what is this verse telling us? There are a few important concepts for us to look it within these 8 verses. The Timing of Our Actions is Important: There are times when holding your tongue and listening is absolutely the right decision to make - and other times where you need to speak up, even though it may be difficult. For a large portion of my life, I've been the type to not want to get involved in discussions or to sit quietly and listen to what was being said. However, for the most part, that season has passed. I find myself more and more often not only wanting to speak my mind but needing to. We live in such a broken society, that not sharing, not speaking, not voicing the truth, can be more harmful than just remaining silent, given the circumstance. The point of this is that both the actions themselves and the timing of our actions are important to God. There Are Seasons In Which Certain Pursuits Are Appointed By God: God's plan for our life involves different experiences, emotions, activities, etc. We know that weeping may be a part of life - maybe there's a lot of heartache and loss during a season. And maybe that season lasts a long time, but life is not all weeping. Laughter and joy also have a place, too. A key to this is found a few verses later: "He has made everythng beautiful in its time" - Ecclesiastes 3:11The right activity at the right times, with the goal of bringing about God's purposes, is a beautiful part of God's will. Think about it this way, have you ever viewed a tapestry or something sown onto your shirt from the back? It looks chaotic and random; yet the maker knew the purpose and exact placement of each thread. Maybe the image wasn't discernable at the beginning or a certain times - but that doesn't mean that there wasn't a purpose, exact plan, or design to it. A Bridge These verses serve as a bridge between the first two chapters of Ecclesiastes, and the following section. In Ecclesiastes 2:24-26, we are to accept each and every day as a gift from God. Why? Because God has a reason and time for all things (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). We all too often accuse God of either not answering our prayers, or with his timing, but this is what we call ignorance of His timing (Ecclesiastes 3:9-11). Yet we are still called to enjoy life in the present (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13) and to trust in God's sovereignty (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15). There's a lot of wisdom packed into today's verse. "There is a time for everything...and a season for every activity under the...
DO by being UNDONE Matthew 16:25Our ACTIONS aren't in the front of the train. They aren't the "engine"Our ACTIONS are in the back of the train. They are the Caboose. They follow everything.What I VALUE...Determines and sets in motion...my DECISIONS...which determines my ACTIONS and my DOING...Which then at the end, God determines whether I made the right choice and the right action and I get rewards or not.He gives us the WRONG answer first: SAVE my life. Keep it. Hold it.Then He give us the RIGHT answer: L-O-S-E my life. This is a metaphor for BELIEF, following Him, denying oneself for Him, having FAITH, and the startling: Take up your CROSS.So, if you life is a mess, here you get THE answer about how to fix it. If you valued your life truly, you'd LOSE it (to Him), You'd give it (to Him). God's crazy math: GAIN your life by LOSING it (to Him). The "do" that He is asking is primarily to be "undone". Listen, and DO by being UNDONE.

1/5/20 Small Things Big Difference 1: Our Actions by Douglasville FUMC
On our journey to financial freedom or anything in life there is one thing that seperates us all. Our Actions. So many people want to be a business owner or entrepeneur or investor but don't take any steps towards it and just wait for it to happen to them like it's some sort of magic. Take action and make it work yourself.
I AM ! Took the picture attached from my home this morning. I Love sunrise. I AM so grateful to live where I do. I AM grateful for so many things. Until we truly accept how important the words are that come out of our mouths, we will never fully experience the ultimate fullness of what our lives can be. Our THOUGHTS lead to Our WORDS which lead to Our Actions which all together create the live we live. Listen to this audio every morning for 8 days and begin to enjoy benefits.

03.16.18 - Sam Ajayi - Living Holy pt 7 - Holiness in Our Actions by Sermons from the Apostolic Faith Church of Portland, Oregon
Everyone is given a mission through God's Identity. Our Actions should represent our values through God.
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s." 1 Cor. 6:19-20 Scripture teaches us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost and that our bodies belong to God. His Word says that we are to glorify Him in our body and in our spirit. In This Episode We Look At: Are we taking care of the temple? Are we doing our part to attain and/or maintain health so that we can better serve the Lord? What kind of rationalizations do we tell ourselves when we consume food that should not enter our bodies? As Christians, we are not exempt to the consequences of neglecting our health. Our Actions are going to come from our closely-held beliefs If we believe that we can eat unhealthily "a little bit here, a little bit there"–we will reap the consequences. If we believe that we should be faithful stewards of our health; we will seek to eat better and move more! Practical Steps for improved, healthy temples: Remember your protein and veggies Consistency pays off (small adjustments adhered to consistently) Do cardio (see your doctor first if you haven't done cardio in a while or quickly have loss of breath) Get Stronger: utilize exercise such as squats, pushups, pull ups, and lunges Get plenty of sleep–make it a priority Today's Resources and Links: Mark Sisson's recommendations on diet and fitness. One Thing You Can Do Today to Improve Your Financial World: Start with one modest and measurable adjustment to your eating habits (like, eliminating processed sugar) and show yourself that you can stick with it. You will see a marked difference in your stamina and your waistline. What Are Your Thoughts? If you have a question or comment about today's topic, we invite you to share your thoughts.
