5 Key Points to Simply Believe!

ORIGINAL POST 8/28/2019

Last week we discussed CLARITY and how it equips you to effectively market your brand. Check out the blog to learn 3 areas you should be clear on when it comes to marketing your business.

This week I’m shaking things up a bit because I wanted to share with you a special message – my FAITH FRIDAY message. It works the same as Marketing Monday in that I choose a focus word related to faith in business. This week the word is BELIEVE. Watch the video and/or read the summary below to learn 5 key points about simply believing!

5 Key Points to Simply Believing

Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 18:4 ESV)

In Matthew 18:4, Jesus emphasizes that true greatness in the kingdom of heaven does not come from status or achievements but from humility. By comparing those who are humble to a child, He highlights that simplicity and a genuine, unpretentious attitude are key to serving God. This scripture suggests that serving God should be straightforward and sincere, focusing on a humble heart instead of being important or successful. In addition, we are more apt to hearing God’s instructions and in position to be obedient.

I share the 5 points to believing below.

1. Serving God Should Not Be Complicated

Anything that you are doing in your business or personal life that is causing complication needs to have God brought in to clear it up. Chaos and confusion is not of God and does not serve God.

2. Be Like a Child

Simply enjoy yourself as children do. What are you doing to enjoy yourself? Be carefree and understand that God is in control. Believe what you are told in God’s word; God tells you what is promised so believe it.

3. Believing Simplifies Life

God takes care of our circumstances. when you believe that God has your back, believe things will work out, believe His Word. Believing releases joy and frees us to enjoy our lives.

4. Diligently Do What God Says

Do what He says in His word and what He speaks to our hearts. We hear what God says when we are reading His word and when He touches our hearts.

5. Put All Your Trust in God and Be Obedient

We have to exercise our trust in God by giving our circumstances and situations to Him to handle and then simply BELIEVE it is taken care of. Being obedient is simply doing what He instructs and believing it will be done.

Self-Care v. Soul-Care

ORIGINAL POST 6/29/21

REVISED AND REPOSTED: 

Self-care tends to be a popular topic.  Especially for women who tend to wear many hats including, wives, mothers, business owners, employees, sisters, friends, care taker, ministry leader, etc. 

I definitely believe it’s important to make self-care a priority as the saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup. If you are pouring from your cup (your needs) instead of your saucer (your overflow), you will always be thirsty (drained). So putting yourself first and taking care of yourself is important to not just your own well-being but for the people who are close to you. 

However, there is a difference between self-care and soul-care, and it’s important for us to make sure that we are taking care of our soul. What does it look like to take care of your soul on a consistent basis? I share the difference between self-care and soul-care and how to make sure you are taking care of your soul.

Busy Work v. Life’s Work

ORIGINAL POST:  6/8/2021

REVISED AND REPOSTED:  

Did you know that your time is one of your most valuable assets?  In my last blog post I shared about the difference between Chronos time and Kairos time, be sure to check out the post if you missed it. 

This post is specifically talking about the time that we spend working.  Did you know that during our lifetime we will spend a large percentage of our time working on our jobs?  In fact, it is estimated that the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime.

So considering this, it would make sense that we choose a job or career that we find enjoyable and impactful.  However, many people work in jobs or even careers that they don’t enjoy for months or even years! Are you one of the many that is doing this?

I love this quote by Brendon Burchard:

“When you learn the difference between doing busywork vs your true life’s work, that’s the first step on the path to purpose”-  Brendon Burchard 

It’s so easy to get stuck in a cycle of doing work that we don’t enjoy if we think of a job as a way to make money to pay bills, but I believe strongly that God did not put us on the earth to pay bills and die!  He has given each of us a bigger purpose and He desires us to use our talents, abilities, gifts, and skills (I like to call our T.A.G.S.) to do purpose-driven work which is our life’s work.

So how do we identify the difference between “busy work” and our “life’s work“?  I attempt to break it down in this post.

Chronos Time v. Kairos Time

ORIGINAL POST 6/15/2021

REVISED AND REPOSTED:

Last week on the blog I discussed the difference between busy work v life’s work and how a large percentage of our time on earth will be spent working, so it’s important to make sure you are doing your life’s work and not just busy work. If you missed the post, be sure to check it out.

This week I want to explore the definition of time and go a little deeper on the topic of how we spend our time. I recently became more aware of the concept of two types of time, Kairos Time and Chronos Time. 

According to Wikipedia, Kairos is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, proper or opportune moment or time for action while Chronos refers to chronological or sequential time.

Good Idea v God Idea

REVISED AND REPOSTED: 
ORIGINAL BLOG POSTED ON 6/1/2021

A couple of years ago, I was on an interview and I was asked, “What do you think is the difference between a good idea and God’s idea?”  The interviewer felt like all good things come from God so if it’s a good idea then move forward with it. 

At the time, I didn’t have a clear point of view of a good idea versus a God idea, but several months later it became crystal clear what the difference was. So in this blog post, I will share the revelation that I received regarding a good idea v. God idea.

As entrepreneurs and business owners, we usually have more ideas than the average person, and many ideas could be considered good ideas. The question then is, as believers in business how do we determine whether to move forward with a good idea and whether the idea is a God thing or simply a good thing!   

The biggest way to know the difference is to recognize the difference between a good idea and a God idea:

    Human Being v. Human Doing

    REPOST FROM 6/22/21

    When you first meet someone at a networking event, one of the first things that you might ask is “So, what do you do?” What we do plays so much of a large part of who we are that as a society we tend to focus on what we do instead of how we are being.  We would never ask someone “How are you being?” we would however say “How are you doing?”  The concept and fact that we are human beings and not human doings is so important that I decided to focus on this topic this week.    

    I remember at an event that I was hosting several years ago one of the attendees mentioned that she created a “being list” in addition to a “doing list”.  This concept always stuck out to me because I thought Wow! that’s such a good idea! We are so used to creating daily “To do” lists with all the things we need to get done, but have we stopped to create a daily “To be” list with all the ways we want to feel and show up in the world?

    In this post, we will focus on human being v human doing.

    How Walking By Faith Can Grow Your Business

    REPOST FROM 07/11/17

    It’s a simple philosophy and an even easier marketing strategy for your business that when implemented can change everything for you and your business.  However, it goes against conventional business and marketing advice.  You may be thinking, what is it?  Well, it’s Walking by Faith.

    Walking by Faith is something I hear a lot in the religious arena, but not necessarily in the business arena.  In fact, it is a scripture that I live by and is found in 2 Corinthians 5:7, it says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight“, so how does this apply to your business and marketing?
