I get it. I am a Choleric temperament and I prefer tasks and plans. Uncertainty is scary and feels so uncontrollable in my life. However, I was so encouraged by my reading today in Oswald Chambers, “Utmost for His Highest” which reminded me that my life is supposed to be uncertain yet certain in Him.
“The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainly. …Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life – gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. …When we become simply a promoter or a defender of a particular belief, something within us dies. That is not believing God – it is only believing our belief about Him. Jesus said, “Unless you…become as little children” (Matthew 18:3)”
If you are feeling scared, uncertain, a bit crazy, doubting yourself, and wondering why you seem to be in a holding pattern, not only are you exactly where the Lord wants you, but you are in the center of His will and way.
Be encouraged.
Take care,
Charlotte

Please don’t let anyone ever allow you to believe that they are better than you because they have written a book, spoken before great audiences, created a business, starred in a movie, or received a music award. Many people achieve great things and they are to be congratulated on their successes. However, the measure of a person is never based on the number of awards they have achieved, books written, or even the amount of people they have spoken to through their years. The value of a person is based on the fact they were created precious, outside of their performance, and their ability to impact and penetrate even a single heart toward positive change and love. Have you done that? Then I would encourage you to stop comparing yourself to a standard that you are looking to achieve and realize that you have already obtained it. Your greatness is NOT based on what anyone can do but on what has been assigned for YOU to do. What have YOU been assigned to do? Just a thought.
Have a great dayÂ
Take care,
Charlotte

Often, we wonder why God allows (not causes) us to go through struggles, suffering, and hard times. It is easy to blame him and someone else for our pain. However, I have learned after experiencing great abuse, suffering, hardships, betrayal, and more that 1) God allows things (positive and negative) to happen for our good knowing the purpose He has for us. and 2) Our pain always has a purpose (despite what we can understand or see). Our wounds and stories are not to keep us a victim but to be used to show others who have been through the same, “But God!” How are you using your pain and past? Are you letting your pain and past shut you down or allowing your pain and past to lift Him and others up? Just saying. Why Me? If They Only… – Charlotte Hunt – A BETTER VIEW

With each day, it is not the living or even the people or situations that become harder to deal with. It is the choice of either walking a broad or narrow path that gets to us. It is the choice of serving oneself, being angry, wallowing in self-pity, only seeing the negative, complaining, and allowing oneself to be limited by one’s past or present circumstances or the choice of serving others, taking another step, hoping, believing, learning, and growing in spite of one’s pain, past and experiences. Dare to be more than a victim of someone’s words or the hardship of your pain. You are so much more than that!
Take care,
Charlotte

Long ago, someone told you that you wouldn’t be good enough. And through your marriage, business, being a father, mother, leader, writer, in your life, work and in your relationships, you are still believing those words and trying to earn your worth through what you do. Ironically, no matter what you do, it never feels like it is enough. A Question to consider regardless of gender, belief, etc. Do you believe you gain a greater sense of worth from who you are or from what you do? Just a thought Start a conversation about it. Have a great dayÂ
Take care,
Charlotte

My prayer for you today is that you would truly know what it means to rest and feel peace. I pray that in the midst of whatever earthly heartache, the financial, relational, or social situation you might be going through, you would realize a deep hope and a sense of everlasting peace. Your life has never been easy and you often wonder when, like others, your ship will come in and joy will visit your door. I pray that not only will that time and ship arrive but, greater still, you will feel and know rest and peace regardless of outer circumstances. You have made it this far and as quiet as it is kept, only those meant for greatness can go through hell and keep pushing forward…that’s you. You can do this. My prayer is for you today. Rest and feel His peace.
Take care,
Charlotte
