Every Friday I share 3 minutes or less of empowerment or inspiration to help wrap up the work week and usher you into the weekend with a clear heart and mind. This Final Thoughts Friday is all about being who you were created to be. I pray these short videos give you a great deal of encouragement.

Four tips to protect your peace. Oftentimes we give things, situations, and people power over our peace, but that doesn’t have to be so. In this short video, I give you four tips to help you take back control and protect your peace. #selfcare #peace

Sometimes we allow our own plans and desires to determine what we should do and how we should handle difficult situations. However, Psalm 46:10 reminds us that God says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” It takes strength to be still and allow God’s will to supersede ours.

Final Thoughts Friday is 60 seconds of wise counsel based on kingdom principles. Just like the caterpillar goes through a metamorphosis to become a butterfly, Believers also transform as they renew their minds and become new creatures. We morph from caterpillar Christians to butterfly Believers.

Final Thoughts Friday are short, 1 minute videos with words of wisdom that allow us to end the traditional work week on a positive note.

Think about driving in some pretty, heavy rain - on a sunshiny day and a dark night. Now, think about how frustrating it is to not be able to see those dotted or solid lines that help to safely keep everyone in their lanes. If those dashes or lines have not been well maintained and have become faint, staying in your lane and others staying in theirs, even on sunny days, becomes a chore. Most people know boundaries are necessary, but relationships are just like vehicles on a road. For the most part, they move along rather seamlessly when there are clear boundaries, and everyone is in the right state of mind. However, when those boundaries get worn over time, just like on the road, they need to be reestablished to ensure everyone remains in their proper lanes during the good, sunny times and especially the difficult, dark ones. Take the opportunity of the new year to sure-up your boundaries for the journey ahead, so you and others in your life get to your destinations as safely as possible.

When trying to understand the hard stuff of life, go higher...change your vantage point...shift your perspective.🦋
