Ask Yourself This Question: Who is Stopping You From Building Your Life?

Sit down in a quite place and ask yourself this simple question; "why am I where I am right now in my life?"

Now if you come up with an answer that has ANYTHING to do with you being where you are because of; a person, an institution or a group of people, then you are in bondage to that particular person, institution or group of people. There is NO hope for you if they are the ones to blame for being where you are right now.

You may say, well God is my vengeance and he is faithful and he will provide; you are ABSOLUTELY correct in saying that, however you have to know God and his way’s in order for him to Bless you.

There is a very popular story in the Bible that everyone is familiar with both believers and non believers; the story of Noah, the building of the ark and the Great flood. God said he will Bless Noah and his whole family and save them from destruction because Noah was a man of God, a man of integrity.

This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. - Genesis 6:9 (NIV)

God told Noah to build an ark and gave detailed instructions on how to do it and by nature supplied him with all the resources he needed to build it.

Very interesting story; why did God instruct Noah to build the ark; couldn’t God have just built it for him? Noah was NOT a carpenter, I am sure he had a lot of real good excuses to not build the ark and he was surrounded by a world of Godless Evil people who most likely did everything they could to make fun and discourage him, you can only imagine.

God will give you EVERYTHING in life that you need in order for his Blessings to “rain” down on you; however you must build the ark yourself despite your circumstances. God Bless. – Chris Stevenson.

Great Advice

Here's some great advice I received from a dear friend:
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is
the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about
what is going on in your life.
3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My
purpose is to __________ today. I am thankful for______________'
4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that
is manufactured IN plants.
5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan
salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues
of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead
invest your energy in the positive present moment.
8. Eat breakfast like a king or queen, lunch like a prince or princess
and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument. Agree
to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their
journey is all about.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years,
will this matter?'
17. Forgive everyone for everything.
18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask and believe and be open
to receive .
20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Change is the
only constant.
21. Your job won't take care of you when you are in need. Your friends

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I
am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.
24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
