What is Driving Your Decisions?

 Many times on this blog, I plan what I will write a day or two before, but today I pulled out my computer with an empty brain, so here I am, letting my words flow out freely with no plan what-so-ever. 


I have often struggled in my life with not being satisfied, I always feel that I am not doing enough, that I should be pushing myself to the furthest limit possible. This is not a bad thing, however there comes a point when one has to reflect, and find the root of their over working. 


I am a very firm believer in working hard, it is the one thing that brings me the most happiness besides my relationship with god, but I found that I was not doing it entirely for good. 


Fear, it is one of the most powerful forces out there, it drives many of our decisions, and often I have to sit back and realize that this lack of faith is choosing my choices for me more then I would like it to. 


I will push the point further with some background, last April I lost quite a bit of vision in my left eye, and before a surgery helped me gain much of it back, I literally saw everything I knew flash before my eyes, I had never realized how easily life could slip right out from under our fingers. 


Now that things have returned to normal, I subconsciously am acting in fear, attempting to secure as much of my life as possible in case my vision is swiped from me again. It is important to work hard, and establish a job, but not because of fear. 


Faith and fear cannot exist in the same place, and if I am letting fear steer my life, then I am no longer acting on faith, which means I am leaving the Lord out of my decisions. Christ is always knocking on our door, but we have to humble ourselves and rely on him to let him enter into our lives. 


I will leave you with this simple question, what is driving your decisions?

This Will Bring you True Satisfaction.

Fear, the force that constantly dictates our decisions. This power magnifies insecurity, and causes us to compare ourselves to others. There is also something else that panic leads to, something that one person triumphs at. I allowed terror to run my life, for years I would hide myself, blending in until I no longer knew who I was, letting every insecurity carve its bloody handprint into my brain until I believed every word.  We often wish for what we don't have, assuming that if we were prettier, thinner, more wealthy, or in a relationship, that then we would feel satisfied. Fear entangles our brain in a web of lies, saying that we are not enough, and if we can just achieve something else then we will be happy. This belief is deceitful, dangerous, and addicting.  I constantly battle with the false notion that because of my visual impairment, I have to make up for the difference, that I am less then others because I cannot see as they do. I tell myself that I  am only wor...

Women of God

Women of God  What makes a woman powerful? Many have asked this question, and there have been a  spectrum of answers. One might say her beauty, or determination. Another might respond  that it is her confidence. These are all great attributes, however, they are all fleeting if the  woman does not have this one single characteristic. This quality is not obtained through her  looks, or the people she comes into contact with. It is something few women have, but  something that everyone can feel, it shines like a light in the darkness. It can lift up these  qualities, and make them eternal.  This power is her identity, the sureness of herself, not through her achievements, but through  a person who knows of her true value, a person that suffered every pain just for this single  woman. This person is Christ. Christ gives us true confidence, love and virtue, because he sees  us as we truly are. He removes all the doubts in our minds, the ...
