Today, you may feel forgotten, and lost, and wonder if you have wasted a lifetime of effort. You may wonder if it is worth the effort to push forward or even try to make a difference when wrong seems to pay and bad behavior seems to win. You will want to stop but do not. Anyone can be ordinary except for you. Take that next step and PUSH forward.
Take care,
Charlotte

Think about it:
Moses had a speech impediment
David was a murderer and adulterer
Paul was judgmental and intolerant
Abraham was a coward and failed to lead
Peter, was a Sanguine who spoke and acted before thinking and was a betrayer of his greatest friend
Yet, in spite of their “so-called” issues, they became people of greatness. They were not only used for greatness but used in the very areas where they failed the most and seemed to have the greatest weaknesses. What areas of your life do you believe are of the least use or seem to be the very thing you think will disqualify you from your purpose? Perhaps, the issue you believe is a problem is the very thing God desires to use not only for His glory but for a great purpose. Just a thought!
What do you think of your issues now?
You can do this!

Let me first say, that we are ALL flawed humans living in an imperfect world. However, I was wondering how the world would be impacted (here and now) if the following happened.
What would happen if:
- True, Bible-believing, Christ-following, Christians would admit we are not perfect but only have accepted the sacrifice of the One (Jesus Christ) who is perfect. Because of that, we take responsibility and ask for forgiveness for all those, past and present who, in their own woundedness and humanity, have judged, cursed, harmed, sinned against, betrayed, and put themselves above others.
- Caucasians would admit, although they cannot speak or represent the whole race, that horrendous crime, sin, harm, racism, and inhumanity have been done to people of color throughout history. Because of that, Caucasians would take responsibility and ask for forgiveness for all those, past and present who, in their own woundedness and humanity, have judged, cursed, murdered, sinned against, betrayed, and put themselves above others.
- African Americans would admit although they cannot speak or represent the whole race, that in our pain and anger, horrendous crime, sin, harm, racism, and disrespect have been done to Caucasians and other people of color. Because of that, we take responsibility and ask for forgiveness for all those, past and present who, in our woundedness and humanity, have judged, blamed, murdered, sinned against, betrayed, lacked responsibility, and put ourselvs above others.
- People of all races, religions, and cultures would admit although they cannot speak or represent their entire group, they have greatly harmed and disrespected others. Because of that, they would take responsibility and ask for forgiveness for all those, past and present who, in their own woundedness and humanity, have imprisoned, discriminated, shut down, judged, blamed, murdered, sinned against, betrayed, battled against, and put themselves above others.
I wonder. What would happen if we, as humans, would simply take responsibility for our harm against others (without defense) and just say, “Please forgive me?”
Take care,
Charlotte

Often, we struggle or think something is wrong with us because we believe we would be useful if we were doing what someone else was doing or waiting until we reached a certain level of accomplishment. Consider this. Maybe your greatest use is based on who you are now (imperfections and all) and how the Lord wants to show His power through you instead of the place of growth and strength you believe you need to strive to where you feel you have control. Are you feeling directionless, vulnerable, out of control, maybe a little crazy, yet willing to be used? Boy, sounds exactly like the perfect place where God calls us to be. Just a thought. So where are YOU at?
Take care,
Charlotte

Maybe the idea of creating a new organization to change the status quo is running through your mind. Perhaps, you have been asked to lead a group at church, thought of writing a book, start a sports team, begin a business, or tell your story to a support group that could learn from you.
Regardless of the situation, each action will take a leap of faith and a beginning of a dream. Each situation will require you to do or try something you have not done before or test an ability you are not sure you have.
What beginning of a dream is requiring you to step out of your safety zone and act upon it? Do you find it difficult to begin to dream right now after going through certain strains, struggles, uncertainty, or some fear? You can do this!
Take care,
Charlotte

Life is too short to worry about why someone else is doing better than we are. Man, it really gets rough sometimes but now is not the time to blame everybody and Santa Claus for why things are bad and life is not working the way we planned.Â
Now is not the time to envy celebrities or anyone else for what they do, the poor choices they make, or what they have. Instead of making it about the time of others, what choices will we make to change our lives, be brave, and change our world? At what point do we tire of being mere spectators of others’ lives? Whoever said the words, “I don’t have a choice” lied. Now is the Time for Courage. Question: How will you move in courage today?
You can do this!
