Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of American Independence – our freedom. We took ownership of our lives and said this is who we are and how we choose to live.

I was thinking… My thoughts meandered through a maze of uncertainty. Some were facts. Most were questions. Too much thinking but not enough of the good thoughts – all of this was taking me down a path that would only lead to a victim mentality. But then God – a diversion – I started to recall that He said I have a purpose and that it matters and that I am to do something about it. He promised.

Why is it that we often save our best hopes and dreams for Someday? …without a firm commitment – a definite YES! – Someday will never deliver on its promises. Today is Day #1 of my commitment to blog daily for the next 90 days. Get it done Maggie!

Every adventure has a day one – that moment when you know your life is about to change. COVID-19 happened to us – not an adventure any of us would have chosen, nevertheless we must deal with it. How do we live our lives amid all this uncertainty?

Pray + Listen + Act. We ask God for open doors. He complies but we just don’t recognize it. We ask for a sign. Imagine a bright shining light on the doorknob and still… we hesitate to open the door. Seriously – what are we waiting for?

Coach Maggie shares while in the midst of her own personal storm – about those pockets of time where we lose sight of how BIG our God is and cower under the weight of our current life season.

Do you have a place where you store your Someday Dreams? At some point in your life story they were real enough to tuck away for that perfect future time. Are they still real today? Are you willing to let them go if God says so?

What if there was someone who was dying emotionally, spiritually, or physically, and you held the key to their very next decision? When we set a God size goal we absolutely believe – no doubts – that someone will be positively influenced by the result.

Aging is a given. Life without purpose and meaning is not. You wouldn’t show up at your job and just hang around until it was time to go home –just filling space. Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came that we would have and enjoy life – in abundance – to overflowing. So, I ask, how’s life working for you? When you walk into a room, do you know that you make a difference? Is your abundance showing or are you just taking up space?

And now I’ll do what’s best for me… Some “cringe” at the sound of that. You believe that putting yourself first is . I’ve been there. At an early age I heard these messages “don’t be selfish, be more or not good enough” I learned to give beyond what was reasonable. It became a habit. But now… I’ll do what’s best for me – because God said so.
