It can cause our thoughts to go one way, and then the next, creating a great deal of confusion on our life’s journey. WhatContinue reading “Do You Live According to Other’s Expectations?”

The Shoe is on the Other Foot

It will happen. “The shoe will eventually end up on the other foot.” The statement, “The shoe is on the other foot,” means someone who had the disadvantage in a situation now has the advantage in some area.

Weekly Wisdom: “What You Resist Persists”

Keep this in mind as your week unfolds. That which you resist will become bigger and will continue. I know, I know! It does not seem fair. Yet, it is truth.

What is Assumption Really Doing?

We have all heard of jealousy as being the “green eyed monster”, but I feel assuming is more green and more monstrous. Assumption speaks out a lie about someone else. When someone assumes they think they know what the other is thinking, or what the intentions of the heart are, without asking. The first thingContinue reading “What is Assumption Really Doing?”
