Today's Inspiration: Living Out Loud

In all of the things that we hope for and pursue, I 1st Cor 9:25 reminds me to be sure that I am running my race to win.  For athletes go into strict training and go through a lot of trouble for a crown... ribbon... or a silver cup that will not last ... But us "born again" folks do it for a heavenly reward that never  disappears.. Let us keep on loving and serving one another in the places we are called to be - in our homes, jobs and everything else outside of that... and be "purposeful" in every step while doing it as we head towards the finish line. Run To Win. ~ Chana 

Today I was refreshed by the closer view that I had of you...  And I know it's not because of anything I've  done, but simply because of who you   are.  ~Chana

Whenever a door closes that I thought would be open to me, I've learned to see it as guidance instead of a sign of defeat ...  Whenever a door closes that I thought would be open to me, I now see it as God's direction instead of his  rejection of me... And whenever a door closes that I thought would be open to me, I now know that it as a blessing to be able to avoid what "appears to be good" but is ultimately not the best  for me. Rejection is really direction.  Pay attention to your signs. Chana

The potential, talent and abilities hidden inside of each of us is such an awesome treasure...But most importantly, these things are given to us to enrich the lives of others... Do not be afraid to reveal, unleash, and operate in God's brilliance resting inside of you.  Unleash the beast . :) ~ Chana

I'll never forget the day that I realized that our "one" and only "big job" in life is to live our lives "fully" as ourselves and no one else...  For nothing in life is as stressful and exhausting as trying to be someone different than who you really are.  ~Chana

When you discover and connect with what you are most gifted and talented to do... pay less attention to everything else. "FOCUS"...  It's the hidden ingredient... ~Chana

When opportunities come your way, you have to take the shot and SLAM it in! :)  For everything else in comparison is just practice and preparation for this moment.... Look at that " facial "...     ~Chana
