Staying Focused

The Way, The Truth, The Life by Derrick W. Jackson (click on bible study lesson)

I created a Quick Study guide called The Way, The Truth, The Life back in 2020. Today as I looked over it, I found my mind wandering on different thoughts. I was finding it hard to focus. I know that I have to stay Focused.  I'm always thinking about my past. I've had a hard time getting over what I lost: a job, a house, a car, my good name. I messed up so bad legally that it's very difficult to come back from it.

I ask my self why am I so upset all the time? God has provided for me again and again. At one point I was homeless. I now and renting a room from a friend.  On top of all that I have mental and physical disabilities. I worry about money but I got Social Security. I tell myself that I don't want to be dependent on it. What will happen if it gets cut. I will be up the creek then.

The story of Noah tells us that we must be ready for a flood that may come in our life. Build our ark so we can be safe and survive.

There are times when I feel that I have gotten lazy. In the past I slept a lot. I thank God that I stopped that. Depression is always around that corner for me. I can't back slide but I must March forward.

I have my own business now where I am creating training videos and C#, Windows 10 apps. I can't let feelings of failing stop me.

Worship Him no matter the circumstance

There is no valley too deep for Jesus to reach. Call out to Him and he will comfort you. Believe in Him, and he will replenish you. Fall on your knees and worship Him, and He will lift you up. In life we make mistakes. Some are worse than others. The key to getting past it is not to dwell on it. There's an old adage, "One day at a time." How much can you get done in one day?  Setting daily goals chops your major ones into sizable proportions.  I am doing this blog to encourage others and to motivate myself.  When I go back and read some of my posts, I marvel at what I wrote.  My own words inspire and motivate me. I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and sai...

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT VOICE

 Whenever you try to do something positive, do you have a negative thought like "This is pointless, or nobody cares about this?" I want this blog and this community to be a success. I can't listen to that voice that the devil says it's pointless. I have no idea who is reading this. I could say something that will help someone. One person.  Of course, I'm not  Jesus, but he was walking with a crowd around him, and someone touched him and was healed. He did not know who it was but knew power had left him. This message isn't just for you, readers. This is for me. I have stopped and started this blog again and again. I MUST NOT STOP!!!. And there's another thing I need to recognize. This is not a popularity contest. If the stats are low, that should not deter me. I am going to a church now where the pastor, his wife, and I are the only ones regularly there. See the picture above. Look at the empty seats. That has not stopped this pastor. And he has really fixe...
