I Have Resolved To...

I have resolved for 2013 to become more organized in every area of my life. For me, well, since I am already scatter-brained, organization takes some sweet, focused time to accomplish. Anyone else out there with me on this? However, it's always worth it. I have found that the more I de-clutter my life in one area, the more time I have left to spend "focused" in another. That's really what I am aiming for here: focus, clarity, answers, access.

I have recently sought out to organize my whole house and garage. Ambitious? Perhaps, but it is my belief that if I at least set a goal, I will attempt it, even if I fail.

It's not about failing, it's about trying. 

There is something so powerful about trying a midst the pressure of possible defeat. The walls that we ourselves put up, they begin to break down bit by bit when we try. Hmm, a thought just occurred to me. We spend so much time worrying, obsessing over possible defeat that we don't stop for a moment to think about possible VICTORY. Wow. What would the world be like if we just changed our perspectives? You see satan likes to throw little lies at us like, "You can't. You know you're no good at that. You should just let someone else do it. Stick to something more safe and certain."

Conquer in His Name

No. I refuse to believe the lie that in order to attempt something, I must KNOW that I will completely succeed. After all, isn't there a lesson equally as valuable if not more in failing? Plus, for those of us who have put on Christ, guess what?


"No, in ALL THESE THINGS we are MORE than CONQUERERS through Him who loved us." Romans 8:37

I am coming to the realization that just because I have failed at something doesn't mean I haven't conquered it. I believe that it is all about perception. If I give something my very all, failed or not, have I not still conquered? If I go in HIS name, have I not conquered? Friends, I believe we have the power to conquer or to be conquered. The power I WANT and I HAVE has come to me from Jesus, and through His Spirit, I have the power to conquer my fears, my doubts, my insecurities, and gain trust, faith, and hope in a gloriously secure future with Jesus Christ.

Friends, don't take it lightly that He has crowned you with honor and glory. It's time to take your rightful place, as a conqueror.

"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor."

Psalm 8:3-5

Thank You, Jesus for clothing me in your strength and dignity. Thank You for helping me reclaim what is rightfully mine. I pray that I may never lose sight of who I am in You. Thank You for loving me even when I do. I am more than a conqueror because of Your great love for me.

This is my heart's prayer for all of YOU, my dear friends!! Reclaim YOUR POWER to CONQUER in HIS NAME!!!
