#plan by: Julie Wicker
One of my favorite quotes is by Benjamin Franklin; “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. Just think if with everything you planned, you were intentional and prepped for. A few examples, if I am dieting, I am much more successful when I plan out my meals. If I am taking a test for school, I am much more successful If I study & prepare. In proverbs 15:22; “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed”.

I have just returned from an adventurous trip to Washington, DC with my family. Traveling in such busy traffic has been somewhat eye opening to me. First of all, I realized how thankful I am to live where I live. Secondly, I am thankful that I was not doing the driving.

The devil would love for us to fail, but God wants us to live an abundant life. We can be confident in this; John 10:10 AMP; “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I come that they may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance”.

As I have shared over the last weeks, our family is in the process of preparing our home to sell and also looking at possible places to move. If any of you have experienced any part of this process you know it is a long, tedious and exhausting process. We are thankfully towards the end of the process of preparing our house and are excited to begin to get serious about looking for our new home.

One of my favorite promises to stand on is from Phil 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. We tend to forget verse 12; “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” The last few days we’ve talked about what can steal your peace. From my perspective, number one; not forgiving those that have wronged us and number two; not having a thankful posture. Today we are going to explore what it means to be content.

It is time to get up. It is time to go. What time will we be there? What time are you picking me up? What time are we eating? The list of questions and statements about time could go on and on. And they each could have been asked or said in any given day. Time is important to us, whether we realize it or not.
#potential #livelifeonpurpose by: Julie Wicker
Our word for the week; potential means having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future. I want to throw some other words your way; purposely means to show determination or resolve, to be intentional or deliberate and pursuing means to seek to attain or accomplish (a goal) over a long period. Thought for the week, if we are purposely pursuing our full potential in Christ, we need to intentionally plan our days. The scripture I want us to cling to today comes from Psalm 90:12 NIV; “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”.
