Making Time to Share Jesus With Others

Years ago, a young country doctor just starting his career faced an outbreak of typhoid in the small farming community he settled in. In the first few days after arriving and ‘putting out his shingle,’ nearly a dozen people came to see him—all of whom had typhoid. He knew what it was. He knew how to treat it. The question was, had he gotten there in time?

Unfortunately for three families, the answer was no. One family lost two of their three small children to the disease by the end of the young doctor’s first month there. He was devastated. In his heart and mind, he was a complete failure. He tried to move beyond the emotional pain and defeat, but he could not. A few months later, without saying a word, he left to live out the rest of his life working as a farmer and determined not to tell anyone what he was.

Fast-forward a few years. The young doctor fell in love and got married. Before long, the couple was expecting a baby. As soon as the tim...

I let go. It is a freeing process to renew me. The old me steps aside when I release my inhibitions and awaken anew. I must let go of many things in my life to open myself to blessings in store for me.

Letting go of all anxiety and stress cleanses my mind. As I let go of my worries, I have peace of mind and tranquility in my soul. I am empowered when I surrender control because my mind is free from tension’s corruptive power.

I let go of all emotional wounds of my past so that I can cleanse my spirit. No matter whatever is behind me, I step forward into a better day. I oppose evil thoughts and replace them with faith and trust. And I know my present and future hold the best days of my life.

To cleanse my body, I scrutinize my diet and make necessary changes. I eliminate fatty and unhealthy foods. I eat fruits, vegetables, and other food rich in nutrients and vitamins. My body is free from alcohol, drugs, and other toxins. My lungs are free from smoke. I enjoy breathing fres...

Being a daughter is a role filled with unique joys, challenges, and responsibilities. As a Christian daughter, you are to navigate these dynamics in a way that honors God and reflects His love. It's a journey of faith, honor, and love that brings immense joy and inspiration. But what does it mean to be a Christian daughter, and how can you live out this role with faith, honor, and love?

No fooling, being vulnerable has value. Author Brené Brown has proven that vulnerability can transform relationships, including those between customers and business owners. Being transparent is the new customer service, but do not confuse transparency for intimacy. There is a line between being vulnerable and oversharing.

Transparency should feel like a warm hug that lets others know you understand, you have been there. You may even be there at the current moment. Transparency should not feel icky, awkward, and uncomfortable. Some things are or the therapist’s couch, not your content.

Do Not Confuse Transparency for Intimacy

When creating compelling content, it is crucial to know the line between transparency and intimacy. Here are a few do’s and don’ts that will help you create compelling content that does not undermine your authority or make people feel weird.

Do: Do share authentic stories and current topics that are meaningful. Even if the subject is challenging, it...

At least 90% of people will tell you that they do not relish change. Change is not easy because people are creatures of habit. You want to continue living in a specific schedule once you have conditioned your body and mind to function in that way. This makes you feel secure with your surroundings and decisions.

Even if you do not like change, there are ways to make healthy lifestyle changes easier. You can also use tools to welcome change into your life, even when entering new uncharted territory.

Here are three ways to make lifestyle changes easier for you:

1. Establish the Pros and Cons. If you recognize that you need to make changes in your life and are not looking forward to doing so, you can carry out a simple exercise that will make the transition simpler to handle.

Take a sheet of paper. On one side, write "Pros." On the other side, write, "Cons." On the corresponding side, you will note the pros and cons of the change to see the benefits and drawbacks.

Coronavirus (COVID - 19)

Beginning December 2019, we have been hearing about a family of viruses known as coronaviruses. There are 69 known species of these coronaviruses. Seven of them can affect humans. The others of this virus species are contracted by animals, mostly pigs, bats, and other small mammals.

History

Healthcare providers have known about these viruses since the 1960s. From 2002 to 2003, the general population began to hear of them due to an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus that occurred in China. Eventually, this virus was called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The epidemic spread to twenty-four countries around the world. According to the World Health Organization, roughly 8,000 cases were reported. The mortality rate was between 9.5 to 10 percent.

Another new strain of coronavirus emerged in Saudi Arabia about ten years later, with an extremely high mortality rate of 35 percent. That epidemic spread to twenty-one countries before it was contained...

Sometimes women feel God’s presence. Other times, it seems like God has completely disappeared from our lives. We can often feel anxiety, sadness, or mistrust of God in these times.

The Questions that Haunt the Hurting

During unspeakable loss and horrific evil, many women doubt where God is. Heartache forces us to confront the ugly questions we otherwise would not ask. Some questions haunt us deep into the wee hours of the morning.

We ask things like this:

• Do You worry about what happens to me?
• Does my pain matter to You?
• If You are good, why does life hurt so much?
• Why did You not stop this?
• Why will You not take this away?

Why Is God Quiet?

In response to these types of questions that threaten to rip at your soul, it seems as if God is quiet. Insult to injury. Abandonment in the face of most profound sorrow. Why is God quiet?

Prayer warrior, and the man after God’s own heart, David wrestled with similar questions during his lifetime. In Psalm 13:1-2, while taking...

I know that there is a distinct difference between being nice to others and being a pushover. For this reason, when I feel offended by others' comments and feel as if their comments are mean-spirited, I stand up for myself.

I am the type of woman that likes to avoid conflict. I normally tend to agree with others basically for the sake of dodging an awkward situation. Though a lot of people might not be fond of these personality traits, I find them to work just fine for me.

But, my attempts to avoid conflict are discontinued when others intentionally try to tear me down. I need a right to stand up for myself. I make it a point to put others in line if they say something that hurts my feelings.

I love to live in harmony. But if I choose to let others walk all over me, I pay the price emotionally later. So, I choose to protect myself by standing up for myself. When someone attacks my competence or negatively affects my emotions, I prefer to say something.

I speak my mind w...
