Sunday Strip: Out of the Frying Pan...
and into the fire.
(There I go - posting violent images again, and inciting violence).
True story.
If you live in Virginia, please vote:
Remember, most likely if Rep. Spanberger becomes Governor, Virginia will most likely will be a completely blue trifecta (State House and State Senate, PLUS Governor - all Demoncrat).
Could it get any worse?
Yes, it could. Here is Spanberger in 2018 - asserting that MAID should be a legal right.
“I support and I would support legislation that legalizes the right to die with dignity of a person’s choosing. That would include allowing for medical providers to provide prescriptions for life-ending prescriptions.”
100% accurate - I couldn’t pick Kimmel out of a crowd.
Every mom up until about 1980…
“Don’t come back into the house, until it gets dark!”
Every kid in my neighborhood knew where all the backyard hoses were - cause when did water ever taste better than directly out of a hose?
True story:
“The only guy asking what the hell is going on” brought tears to my eyes! There are many millions of us asking that question but the “Left” manages to drown us out. I hope and pray Trump can finish what he started- for America and all of us! I believe our voices ARE getting louder, but then one of our loudest is taken out. Thank you, Charlie. For all you did while you were on earth and all you continue to do from Heaven.
Thank you also, Drs Malone for continuing to lead us.
A positive note.
Many years ago I decided to buy a motorcycle. Before I even bought it I signed up for a riding safety course. One thing the instructor taught us was when you focus on something that’s on the road you will inevitably drive into it. This is a lot like life. Our life it seems will go towards the way we think. If we focus on negative things, you will find those negative things. Your own wrong thinking can keep you at mediocrity. God meets us at the level of our expectations. We all should raise our level of expectations.
The opposite is also true, when we expect positive things to happen, positive things will come our way. Every morning when we wake we should think something good is going to happen to me today.
Your expectations are your faith at work. When you expect good things to happen, you are releasing your faith and that’s what allows God to bring it to pass. If you get up in the morning expecting to have a lousy day you’re going to draw that in. If we always think things are not going to work, I won’t get that job, these people won’t like me, this won’t work, your faith is working, your just using it in the wrong direction. Jesus said in Mathew 9:29 “according to your faith, be it done into you. Another translation is, have what your faith expects. So depending on what we expect, big things, little things or nothing at all is what we will end up recieving. It’s easy to expect the worst but if you can just switch over into faith starting to expect to excel, start expecting to accomplish your dreams you will begin to see God’s miraculous works.
You may have had a lot of disappointments in the past but try to move past that negative frame of mind. Try expecting God to turn things around. You may not always feel it but you should go out into each day excited about the day, expecting things to go in your favor. Don’t go through life trying to protect yourself from a disappointment by not expecting anything good. It’s not enough to just not expect anything bad. You cannot leave your thoughts in neutral and have Gods best. Are you aggressively expecting something good? Do you go out expecting Gods blessings? Are you expecting your dreams to come true? Are you expecting this year to be better than last? Don’t think if you try and it doesn’t work, then what? What if you try it and it does work.
I know nothing will happen if we don’t first believe. If we’re not disciplined in our thoughts, in our expectations, our mind, we will just fall back into expecting the worst, expecting failure. We have to train our mind to not put our faith in the negative. I’m expecting Gods goodness. God said no weapon formed against us is ever going to prosper. Even if the worst happens I’m not going to fall apart, get all upset, no, stay in faith and expect God to turn it around.
I can’t tell you how many times things seem like it’s not going well for me, my finances are getting low, I know the bills keep coming. I’ve learned to stay positive. Something good will come. Soon enough a job comes in, a contract is signed, a check comes, things suddenly brighten. I’ve learned to let go of the worry. David said “what would have become of me had I not believed to see the goodness in God”. What he was saying is where would I be if I had not believed in Gods blessings in favor?
In psalms it says “in goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives”. We’ve all had disappointments, setbacks have followed us around, we need to let go of everything that didn’t work out. Let go of every person that hurt us. We need to start expecting goodness and mercy. Start expecting greater things for your own life. Gods longing to be good to you. He’s looking out over the heavens waiting for your expectations of goodness to come into your life. It all begins with your faith, your positive expectations. This is not a 3 day trial period, it should be a lifetime of positive expectations. Try to always find the good, be positive and raise your expectations. Happy Sunday Everyone!! J.Goodrich
