The Three P's

Perspective | Pivot | Purpose 

(Tips from Candace Cameron Bure Podcast S4)


1. Healthy perspective
     Perspective is an honest acceptance of reality while still maintaining hope. It is NOT delusion.

2. Healthy Ability to Pivot
     Realizing what you are doing isn't working, looking for solutions, and finding a way. 

3. Purpose
     Look to GOD to find purpose in the pain. Having faith that GOD can turn the mess into something beautiful.


And here I'll add a fourth P

4. Peace
     A good way to build resilience is to look to GOD to give you His peace in the pain. Sometimes, for me, that means a smile or laugh in the darkest moments, knowing that I'm living with the end in mind.

I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me. Philppians 4:13

I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will not slumber. . .The LORD will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch ove your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121: 1-3 & 7-8

My Power Problem

-
       The thought that I can do nothing without GOD is both scary and comforting. I am no stranger to thinking I am capable. One of the things I struggle with is related to a bigger struggle, which is thinking I can change the circumstances or even change myself on my own. I often tell myself that it is just that easy. That if I want to change I can. But I'm wrong.      I have a problem with laziness. Procrastination. Each day the sun goes down and I'm getting ready for bed, I start to think. And I often realize how lazy I have been and I cringe at all the half-finished, undone projects. Then I tell myself that it's not a bad problem. I can change if I really want to. It's almost like saying "you can do anything you put your mind to" or "you can do anything if you try".       The thing is, the harder I try to fix myself and change for the better, the more frustrated I get. I keep in my mind that I can do this and I'm just not tryin...

Galations 5 | Burning Ships and Not Looking Back

 Does Burn the Ships Mean Forget the Past? (How do I not look back?)       Galations 5:1      For freedom CHRIST has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.      So all who have faith in JESUS, that he died for our sins and rose again so that one day, either when we die or on the last day, we he will bring us to life in heaven with Him, are free. All that believe in JESUS are free. But how do we stand firm? And what is a yoke of slavery?      Well, to answer the first question, let me say this: we cannot do any good thing, or even anything at all on our own. Standing firm requires faith and trust. According to biblekeeper.com, "Faith is the first step, where individuals choose to believe in GOD's promises and redemptive plan." "Trust is a deep belief and reliance on GOD's character, wisdom, and promises. It acts as a steadfast foundation,  particularly when faced with trials t...

Don't step out on your own

-

  Stepping out on your own should be scary.      Everyone likes to go with the flow. Some people, like me, dream of doing things differently. We see these movies and videos everywhere about people who made a difference, a change in the world, by turning a different way from the rest of the world. What everyone else said was right might have been wrong. Or maybe people were making choices, but somebody realized there's a better way and acted on it. Whatever the reason, whether anyone stood by them or not, these people did what they thought was right. They went a new way.      Now being alone is scary. It's much easier to follow a path someone else has travelled than to pave your own. Have you ever wanted to step onto an unknown path, but instead planted your foot in dense jungle, so you immediately retreat back to the main road? Yeah! That unknown path you were looking for, it was created by somebody else. There's nothing unknown about it. And all the c...
