The Company You Keep

We all have people in our lives that we hold close to our hearts. We call some of them friends, some of them besties, and some we even call family. Eventually, these individuals begin fulfilling some role(s) in our lives- going out with us, tagging along on trips, imparting wisdom when needed, accompanying us to whack events, etc. Regardless of the reason, these are people we have chosen to keep around. We are so used to them that we probably don’t notice how they could be influencing our own lives. It’s crazy to think, right? They already accepted us for who we are; so why would we try to change ourselves? That’s just it; we don’t- at least, not intentionally. We may not realize it but their presence alone does more than we give it credit.

April/May Release: The Influences of the Company You Keep

First off, let me apologize for the delay in this post. I have been traveling and it has been halting my progress with writing. But rest assured, it will be released before the end of this month!

This release will focus on a special topic that affects all of us- the impact the people you are surrounded by have on your life. We underestimate at times how influential our circles can be and it's usually not until we see things changing in our thoughts, actions and/or mindsets that we realize this. It can be good or bad, or even both, but not understanding that influence could be detrimental if you see yourself going in a direction you don't like. On the other end, it could also take you to much better places than you were before. It all depends on who's in your circle.

Stay tuned; you don't want to miss this post!

Verse of the Week

"As the Scriptures say, “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains forever.” And that word is the Good News that was preached to you."

Verse of the Week

Being Planted Longer Than You'd Like

I am currently in a phase of my life where I feel like I have been placed in a particular situation and no matter how much I hope, pray, or wish, I can’t get out of it. Are you facing a similar scenario? Do you feel like you’re in a place where you want to move to something or somewhere different, but can’t seem to do so? It took some time to realize, and it may be hard to believe, but that’s actually a good thing. It means you’ve been planted in a place that is meant to help you grow in some way.
