What keeps you connected?
Power comes from many sources, aside from electricity; as it is also found in “love, joy, peace, patience, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). So, might you also consider tapping in to another source that will always keep the lights on when others are not. #NeverWithoutPower❤️

What causes you to hear and heed?
Sins are a part of who you are; and there is no running away or hiding from them. Even so, He knows that, and "is [still] patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish" (2 Peter 3:9). So, might you, then, make an effort to recognize your shortcomings and mistakes and consider "[repenting]...and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out" (Acts 3:19). #OwningYourSins & #AskingForForgiveness

Whom do you spend your time with?
The world is filled with all walks of life; and with such diversity you have the opportunity to get to know them. Jesus chose to spend his time with “tax collectors and sinners” (Mark 2:15), those that needed him most (see 2:16–17). So, as you consider your associations and circle of friends, might you step outside of your comfort zone or circle and broaden it, as you can never have too many friends or acquaintances. #BroadenYourBase & #BuildRelationships❤️

How lonely are you?
Loneliness can be felt with or without others present. Regardless of the cause, you, still, are never alone, as "you are with [Him]" (Psalm 23:4). He promises that he will always be with you (see 103:17) and never leave you (see Hebrews 13:5). So, if you are ever lonely, know that He will always be there ready to lead, refresh, restore, guide and comfort you (see Psalm 23:2-5). #NeverLonely

How can you still love your enemy?
Enemies are everywhere and will always be present; and as difficult it is to love them, you are encouraged to do so. Helping you to do so is Proverbs. Proverbs says that " if your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head" (25:21-22). So, may you find kindness, instead of bitterness and anger, towards your enemy; and in doing so, "the LORD will reward you" (25:21-22). #MaintainYourIntegrity & #RemainUpright

Why avoid shortcuts?
Searching for easier ways to get somewhere or get something quick may work for a while, but will not last. Gehazi tried just that, in his pursuit for money (see 2 Kings 5:22), but got caught in a lie (see 5:25), and lost what was most important (see 5:27). So, instead of trying to take shortcuts, might you look in to your heart, for this is where your treasure is (see Matthew 6:21), and fill it up the right way. #NothingGoodIsEasy

What is sacrifice?
One's willingness to give up something, especially for another, is sacrifice; and one of the most noteworthy sacrifices is the Lord's, as He gave his one and only son to save us all from our sins. So, "whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, [at the Lord's Table], [might] you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26); for He sacrificed everything for all. #ForeverGrateful

How can you become new again?
A heart, broken, after over 17 years of work toxicity; and six months later, I was told to "gather the pieces that are left over [and] let nothing be wasted" (John 6:12); and did just that. Since that fateful day, five years ago, I have created a business, ANW Enterprises, LLC; written and published a book, to help others; written over 1,000 consecutive and counting mindful daily blogs to help others, on every social media platform; and have, also, created over 1,000 one-of-a-kind products by recycling, repurposing and renewing them. So, for those of you, like me, who have felt less than or discarded, think again. For "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, [and] the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). #AHeart & #Life #Recycled #Repurposed & #Renewed

What can be taken and gained from a natural disaster?
Resilience, appreciation, humility and community come to mind, after experiencing 100 plus MPH winds that just devastated parts of Oklahoma this past week. For the Israelites, it was fear and trust (see Exodus 14:31), as "the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land...[as they] went through the sea" (14:21-22), so they could escape the Egyptian army. As you can see, even in destruction and devastation, there is much more good than bad to be had; and for affected Oklahomans, hopefully the same. #PuttingPowerInPerspective

Who has your ear?
When you chose to hear everything but The Word, you miss much. But, when you do hear, you have faith. For “faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17); and the more that you hear it, the greater your faith will become. Might you chose to hear Him and miss nothing. #ReceiveSoundAdvice❤️
