What Are You Pursuing?

I love how the apostle Paul can pack so much wisdom in so few words. There's no way one post can do this verse justice, but I'd like to point out just a few things that stood out to me from an incredible sermon we were blessed with last week at our church. Stay away from things in life that don't matter. Whatever we do, God calls us to reflect His glory (I Corinthians 10:31). When you think about that responsibility, you don't have time for most things. Charles Spurgeon put it this way: "Run away from them; it is no use contending with them. Fight with the devil. Resist the devil, and make him flee, but never fight with the flesh. Run away from that. The only way to avoid the lust of the flesh is to keep out of its way. If you subject yourself to carnal temptations and fleshly lusts, remember it is almost certain that you will be overcome by them. “Flee youthful lusts”, and as you must keep going and have something after which to follow. What would you think of a man who went as near as he could to burning his house [...]

Christian Leaders: A Call to Lead Differently

By |2020-05-08T15:57:22-04:00April 10th, 2013|Business|

"So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:42-45 NLT) I've read and even studied this passage dozens of times in my life. But today, the phrase, "Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant" really jumped out at me. Based on this requirement, there are people who may have positional leadership, but aren't leaders. We can be the manager at our job, the head of our household or even the CEO of a major corporation.... But we still won't be a leader unless we're serving our team. Today, I encourage you to forget your title and just focus on serving others: Would you rather someone introduce you as their boss or their mentor? [...]

Noah’s Birth Story

So the Pregnancy Journey Begins Over the next 7 months, I will be doc­u­ment­ing my preg­nancy: nutri­tion, exer­cise, doctor’s appoint­ments, books I am read­ing, etc. get­ting ready for Baby Myers! It’s actu­ally a pretty amaz­ing (and some­what long) story of why my preg­nancy is such a mir­a­cle. So instead of typ­ing it, I’d rather tell it… [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKacyiXIBLc?rel=0&w=560&h=315] Noah's Birthday As Told by Mommy No, I thought to myself. Look again. This is not happening. But it was. As much as I tried to imag­ine it away, there was def­i­nitely a lit­tle blood each time I went to the bathroom. Scared, I called my doctor’s office and asked to speak with one of the nurses. “Have you been more active than usual?” she asked. “Not more than usual,” I replied back. “I mean, I did work out yes­ter­day, but I’ve been work­ing out my entire preg­nancy. I did start to feel uncom­fort­able, so I stopped, but I think Noah has just dropped a lit­tle lower. I was sup­posed to teach Tur­bo­Kick tonight, but I already got my class subbed for this afternoon.” “That’s good,” she said, “Are you still feel­ing the baby move?” “Yes,” I said, breath­ing a sigh [...]

How to Eliminate the “I Don’t Have Time” Excuse

By |2020-05-08T15:57:38-04:00February 8th, 2013|Family|

An "excuse" is defined as "an explanation offered as a reason to be excused from a certain thing or task." True. At times. But sometimes... Instead of an explanation, an excuse is often an exaggeration. So I'm not talking about eliminating the inevitible, occassional, permissible excuse (Ex - We couldn't make it last week because my child was sick.) I'm talking about the consistent exaggerating excuses...one in particular that is used more than any other. "I don't have the time to _______________." You have time. I have time. We all have time. We are each given 24 hours a day, and we make the decision daily how we will spend the time we are given. So instead of making the outlandish claim, "I don't have time," there are two steps that will help you eliminate this excuse from your vocabulary. Start replacing the claim "I don't have time" with the a true statement of where you spend your time. Example #1: Instead of saying, "I don't have time to read God's Word every day," say, "Instead of reading God's Word, I scroll through my Facebook newsfeed five times a day." Example #2: Instead of saying, "I don't have time [...]
