As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about the word GENEROUS.  Have you ever met anyone in your life that is by nature generous?  People who sometimes share what they have, sometimes share good advice, or sometimes just share a listening ear are Generous.  Scriptures tell us in Proverbs 11:25, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”  And it says in 2 Corinthians 9:11, ”You will be enriched in every way so that you can be GENEROUS on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”  GENEROSITY, then, becomes a prayer.  Would people say that you are GENEROUS with your gifts?

Today is a good day to examine your own sense of generosity and compare it to GOD’S generosity to you.  If you are like me, you know you have a lot of work to do! 

Have a blessed And GENEROUS day!

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I am thinking about the word TRUST. There have been many times when I did not trust where God was taking me. A few years ago, I was traveling on a train in Italy. When I switched trains, I got on the wrong one. I was traveling alone, so I got very nervous. It was going to be hours before I would be able to get off, switch trains, and head back. When I sat in the section of the train I had been assigned to, I spent the next three hours making new friends. And I’ve kept them for life.

Sometimes God takes us to places and puts us in situations so that we can grow, meet new people, and find connections. I now consider that train ride to be one of the greatest blessings I have received. When we let God be the conductor and lead us where we need to go, we will see that there is a reason for everything. It says in Proverbs 16:9, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. “

Today, go wherever the SPIRIT leads you, even if you don’t understand. TRUST and be patient. God may have placed you there for Reasons you have no idea of. Follow the spirit! 

Have a blessed day!

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about PROBLEM SOLVING. I know a lot of friends who were raised not to talk about their problems and that denial has caused even greater issues. Sometimes we spend more time reacting to a problem than just taking care of it and solving it. 

All people have problems they have to work through. We need to focus on solving our problems. Sometimes this means setting a time frame, collecting data, or sometimes even just letting it go. Just because we have problems does not mean that God is punishing us, in fact, that is absurd. Problems are just a part of life; what we do with them is the real test.

So today, face and SOLVE today’s problems. Don’t worry about yesterday’s, there’s nothing you can do about them. Turn to God and ask for guidance and help! It says in Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.“ Proverbs 3:5,“ Trust in the Lord with all your heart, I do not lean on your own understanding.“ Matthew 7:7,“ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find it; knock, and it will be open to you.“

Today, turn to the Lord, solve the problems at hand, and then let them Go. Live in HIS peace and love! 

Have a great day!

I know a lot of friends who were raised not to talk about their problems and that denial has caused even greater issues. Sometimes we spend more time reacting to a problem than just taking care of it and solving it. All people have problems they have to work through. We need to focus on solving our problems, sometimes this means setting time in the morning to focus. When we face and solve our problems it is easy to stay focused in the present moment.
