Peace Now

God is the God of Peace.
He wants that for everyone.
Some parts of life are happy, exhilarating, and deeply cheerful. 

And other parts, not so much. 

Most of the time I tend to focus on the former. Yet sometimes I get down, because I think of all the pain and heartache that people feel. It bothers me immensely when I think about it. But in order to continue on I must think about the Lord more; focus on the things of the Lord; keep my eyes set on Him. 

If I don't do that I'll overthink things; try to figure things out that are beyond my scope of rationale; try to come to sound conclusions even though it makes no sense for me to do so. Still, I find myself going there every now and then. 

I'm human. 

That's why I need God. 

He enables me to think realistically. He enables me to know that the pain and suffering still going on will be short-lived and temporary. He enables me to know that my part with Him reducing that pain in people, is huge. He enables me to have strength and reassurance in Him that He will do mighty things to help the hurting people. 

My heart still aches for them though. 

That's a part of my existence that will never go away. It can't, because if it ever goes away, then what? What mission do I have to help others? I must be driven by my "God-heart", because it lives in me to guide others towards the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The God of peace. The God of light. The God of great.

Some parts of life are happy, exhilarating, and deeply cheerful. 

And other parts, not so much. 

Yet, our perfect Christ Jesus has a wonderful purpose for everyone and everything. It doesn't matter whether we can figure it out or not. 

His purpose is perfect peace for everyone. That's all I need to know until He tells me otherwise. Peace now.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa
