No Excuses

I love this commercial. It inspires me as a runner, but it also inspires me as a believer. No more excuses.

I’m not a morning person. I’m too busy. I need X hours of sleep. I’m not rich enough. I have children. I don’t have children. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to pray. I don’t have a good enough testimony. It’s too far. It costs too much. I’m not a pastor. I don’t have time.

Time to stop with the self-limiting profiling.

Mother Teresa. Helen Keller. Jim Eliot. Corrie Ten Boom.

We can make excuses or a difference.

so so so inspiring.

we so easily fall into decline, where reading the Bible no longer takes priority, or appreciating the gift that is family becomes something to do when in a good mood.

a good reminder.

thanks kat.

SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing that.

I have way too many excuses especially when it comes to homeschooling. Those thoughts, words, and ideas only hinder from great things happening this year. I will choose to make a difference!!

Wow. I haven’t seen that.

And now I have goosebumps.

This jumps DIRECTLY on the spot where the Holy Spirit is tendering me. Which is a nice way of saying, “I’m all kinds of convicted.”

Not wanting to do something is often the best reason why I should do something.
