Look For the Guideposts They Give You Direction

These guideposts direct you, giving insight. Sometimes God will miraculously open doors for you when you least expect it.  They might appear to be coincidental but in reality they are meant for you to make a decision.

The guideposts are there. They could come in the form of temptations or the form of an arrow pointing you in a certain direction. You notice these guideposts. You have all sorts of choices in this world. Each choice you make leads you in another direction.

It’s the journey of life. As we look back at our lives, we see things happened because of our choices.  We see the way things were aligned and we find comfort knowing there is a bigger picture at stake.

Have you ever seen a rainbow in the sky? Rainbows often appear after a rain storm. The skies clear, the sun takes a sneak peak, and a rainbow is clearly visible. It’s your promise. God sends the rainbow to show you His promises.

Three Types of Friendships

Many friendships will come and go in life. In seasons of change, a person will encounter new friends, and old friends will fall away. There are friendships that stay with you during a lifetime. Those friends are the first ones you call to share good news and the ones you can count on in times of crisis.

The seasonal friends may be those you work with. There may be minimal outside contact with them besides the day-to-day of working together. These friends share your joys, may know of your sorrows, but they don’t connect deeply in your situation. I like to call them the flyaway friends. When a person leaves their job, you don’t see them anymore. That’s it. They are gone from your life. They lasted for a season and now they depart. It is important to mention however, some of these working relationships may turn into lifetime friends.

Those lifetime friends are those who have seen you at your worst. They have celebrated with you, cried with you, and have lasted a lifetime with you. These friendships can live at a distant or be close.  You can be out of touch with them for days or months, but when you connect, it’s just like yesterday.  These special friendships connect you within the deepest part of your soul.

On This Side of Heaven

For on this side of heaven we may never know how high we have reached or how many lives we have touched.

I do believe however, when we reach our heavenly home, we will see lines of people and crowds of smiling faces.  Those lives we touched in simple ways, as well as those we have greatly impacted, will be there to thank us.

On this side of heaven we may never know the impact we are having on others in our daily lives.  We offer kindness, we give generously, and we help our fellow-man.

Looking for Answers we Search our Past

Looking for meaning and purpose, we delve into our pasts hoping to find answers.

Can I change the world by mere existence? Can I move mountains by my sheer desires?

I might not be rich and famous, nor be of a celebrity status, but I am unique.  My experiences, my pasts, my relationships are in essence what I am made of.

A self image is the heart of the soul.  We search our pasts, we research our ancestry, we hunger for knowledge.

Are you looking for a fresh start or a new beginning?  Start where you are and look for the guideposts.  They are the markers which lead you to make a choice.

The answers are out there. Are you ready to make a difference?

Leaving a Legacy

The shadows our lives cast convey an incredible legacy. We create an amazing touch in someone else’s journey, producing a ripple effect in each other’s life.

Can you define your limits?  You have the ability to make a difference in the lives around you.  You exist and therefore you are already making a difference to those in your life.  How do you want to be remembered?  What kind of legacy will you leave?

Discover your purpose and live a life of passion.  Your dreams are there, waiting to be awakened.

Every life you touch is impacted by your presence.
