Allow faith to carry you through whatever life hurls in your path ~ beyond whatever plagues you ~ and into your destiny. Let your life resonate with the testimony of who you are ~ the purpose God has for you ~ and the intent of your heart to “Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another.” (Romans 13:8). Be patient with yourself that you not become discouraged and miss an opportunity to love difficult people anyway… in spite of and not because of. Substitute a negative thought and an ill advised action with a positive from the incorruptible seed of God’s Word; then sow it, pray over it, nurture it, and watch it grow into a blessing ~ pressed down and running over, assured that “… when God grants a blessing, it is eternal.” (1 Chronicles 17:27).
Remember, Life is What You Make It: One Choice, One Moment, One Day, One Word, One Prayer, At A Time! Seek God’s counsel in all things! Be prepared for Him to move SUDDENLY! You are blessed to be a blessing! Stay Focused and Productive.“Activity is contagious.” (Emerson). “Teach us, daily, Lord, to make the most of our time so that we grow in wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12). Never forget that You and Family matter: “We’re not perfect, but we’re real, and all love each other very much!” (Steph, 2001). Be safe and always thankful, assured that “God is doing a work in you, which will be revealed in due season.” I believe the Spirit of God resides within each of us! What do you believe in…Against the odds…in spite of and not because of? TTYS!

Little things mean a lot! Why does it appear so easy to become careless as creators and guardians of what is deemed the little things? Ultimately, their numbers increase to such an extent as to be likened to a pile up on the freeway, where you’re forced to STOP and REFLECT and ASK why this fork in the road has become a dominate recurring theme in your life: your leitmotif. Priority and value earmark the little things. Perhaps it’s a matter of not keeping your word~your promise, or not being punctual. Maybe it’s not paying a bill or repaying a loan on time or not at all. Perhaps a careless~thoughtless word is all it takes. Maybe it’s a missed opportunity to do good without benefit of recognition or accolades. Perhaps it’s a letter you didn’t write or a phone call you didn’t make. With purpose and intent, become better creators and guardians of the little things. Ensure that what grows in your life is what you intended to grow ~ what you nurtured and proudly stand behind. Any number of things can be coined the little things, you are the only one who can determine their priority and value. Proverbs 9:11 states, “Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life.”

As long as God grants you time, the seeds of wisdom and knowledge have a chance to grow. Time births new ideas: you’re always one thought and one decision away from something. Time allows you to STOP at any pivotal point and look over the entire scope of your life and the people in it, rather than just the bit parts that blow up larger than life before you. Time validates that everything in life has its season, and that it’s up to you to continually reposition yourself ~ to prepare your mind and heart for each season’s transition. Time illuminates LOVE, the one common thread running through us all, keeping us connected and filled with compassion and humanity, despite whatever life hurls our way. Time lets you experience the hand of God doing extraordinary things through ordinary people. Time reveals non erasable footprints that lead to and preserve the memories you create…good and bad. Time exposes your strengths and weakness. Time offers confirmation that every situation you face~and every action you take, reveals by design each stroke of the chisel being used to define and sculpt your life’s finest work: YOU!

Whether you’re in a pit or a valley of any one of life’s trials, temptations, or tribulations, there is an eternal force of empowerment residing within to give you hope…to help you overcome…to give you a reason to stay your course. All it takes is entering into a quiet moment to hear God whisper: “O ye of little faith. My child, my child… tell that mountain to move! Believe it when you say it! Believe in Me! Believe in yourself! And that mountain will move! I am not a God of confusion! All you have to do is Ask in faith!” STOP breathing life into what was meant to be but a moment! God cares! It’s time you did too! Be that man or woman of valor…that warrior…that conqueror “God blessed and created in His own image to multiply and fill the earth and subdue it!” (Genesis 1:28). You have purpose! Dream beyond what you see!

What can you unburden today that would lighten tomorrow’s load and validate yesterday’s activity? Today highlights the collective fruit of yesterday’s choices, labors, and sacrifices ~ from you and others. Today provides another unique opportunity where you can freely choose to improve and expand the advances of yesterday. Today you can freely choose to be a part of the light that illuminates a path of inspiration in every tomorrow. Dream big dreams and offer them to God for approval. Envision a better tomorrow, and be about the business of making it a reality. Never doubt your ability or God’s power! Be confident that any vision God gives and approves, He also backs with provision; your success and happiness matter to Him. A quote from Aristotle (384-322 B.C) states that “Happiness [is] prosperity combined with virtue.” You are a free moral agent, an effective force with the power and ability to get wealth and to be an inspiration and help to others.

Daily, Against the Odds, face two of your greatest challenges: Self- Control and Balance. Be particularly discerning in the arena of your thoughts: they stimulate emotions which trigger actions with both direct and indirect implications ~ good and bad. Take care not to get stuck in valleys of doubt and disillusionment, focusing solely on what you think God has or hasn’t forgotten or done… in your behalf. Don’t diminish the illumination of every hand-woven stitch in the fabric God Himself blessed [before there were yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows] to cover your life!

But, first things first! Against the Odds: Every morning, before you get out of bed, Seek God’s face~His voice~His counsel. Speak aloud His name with reverence. Forgive yourself and others. Petition (with precision) the exact desires and expectations that continually press on your heart and take up squatter’s rights in your mind. Affirm aloud in faith (with thanksgiving) that He heard your petition ~ that He is delivering you from strongholds that eclipse your pursuit of happiness and success. Invite His counsel; Ask Him “To Guide you along the best pathway for your life ~ To Advise you~ and To Watch over you.” (Psalm 32:28), that you might optimize your effectiveness throughout the day.” God’s word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.” (Psalm 119:105). Declare daily: “Thy Will Be Done. Amen,” thankful that “He orders His angels to protect you wherever you go!”- (Psalm 91:11).

There is a unique window of opportunity ~ an assigned blessing in every breath you take. Against the Odds: Inhale the incorruptible seed of God’s word, confidently assured “Every word is pure; He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.” (Proverbs 30:5). Exhale all thoughts at war with your free will. Embrace every opportunity to unburden your heart. Release your mind from whatever threatens to hold it hostage in some gilded cage of victim hood. Focus on what brings and keeps your life balanced. Focus on what allows you to seize each day ~ capture every moment ~ and brand them with your personal seal of approval.
Let your faith give you the courage to blow away the ‘black clouds’. Luke 11:36 states that “If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight is shining on you.” Make every effort to Loose the shackles that bind you to the allure of what is merely temporal ~ and Step into the abundance of God’s blessings and His eternal grace and mercy.

Universally, there is a high regard for photography. In fact advertising executive Fred R. Barnard aptly stated, “One picture is worth a thousand words.” And, Susan Sontag (On Photography, 2, 1977) adds, “To photograph is to confer importance.” Are your actions producing not one, but a series of photo finish snapshots, which will ultimately unveil that “one picture worth a thousand words?”…Or… that “one photograph that confers importance?” I hope they are because you matter! Your life matters! What you do or don’t do matters! Before there were days, you were on the mind of God! You are that “One picture worth a thousand words”…that “one photograph that confers importance.” No one knows the hour or season for the unveiling of another of God’s Masterpieces! Be ready. Make sure every endeavor is purposed with photo finish intent! Don’t waste your God-given gift by diminishing its importance.
