Do You have a Plan?

What is your IDP? What is an IDP you ask? It is an Individual Development Plan. What do you plan to do with this life you’ve been blessed to have? Ok I know you get up and go to work or school but what’s next? In business, we ask what are your 1, 3, and 5 year goals. I challenge you to start developing your life goals. Aspire to go higher. Create a fast track to living the life you want to live!

It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, be comfortable, and get complacent. Honestly, is that the life you’ve dreamed about? Or have you stopped dreaming altogether? I hope not. With the incredible power you possess within by God, set your sights on going higher and being better as an individual who’s developing goals—planning your work and working your plan!! (Exodus 9:16, Jeremiah 29:11)

WOW! Woman of Wisdom: Hope Beyond Reason

Hope Beyond Reason

Hope thou my soul! My soul hopes in God!(Psalm 43:5)

First let me say that this is not a political agenda of any sort. However, in the midst of the tumultuous state here in this United States of America there seems to be a lack of hope(also known as: courage, expectation, trust, optimism, faith, anticipation, desire, and/or possibility). Hope can best be defined as having a wish to get or do something or for something to happen or be true, especially something that seems possible or likely.

It seems that with the political pendulum having swung in favor of the republicans, that there is much talk of doom and gloom filling the media-air waves. I personally was tired of turning the television on and finding hate campaigns every 2-3 minutes promoting negativity. I can certainly see why people are pointing fingers and playing the blame game…But GOD!

My friends, what does God have to say about it? How about: Faith is the substance of things “hoped” for and the evidence of things unseen. (Heb 11:1) How about this: "And Jesus said unto them ... , "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you."
(Romans 1:17)

OR

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
(Deuteronomy 31:6)

Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
1 Chronicles 22:13

All things are possible with God- put your hope, trust, success in Him!
