Good job ICE. Woman was so professional and she handled all those questions with class. That’s nICE. No need for flash bangs or mace on this one. LOL

I mean, shit happens. You left the house and forgot to turn off the stove; you put on mismatched socks; you married your brother. We've all been there.

You’re anointed to deal with the Sauls, the jealous people. You’re anointed to overlook insults. You’re anointed to take new ground, to break barriers that have held your family back.

When people hear the story of David and Goliath, they think, “That was all God.” And yes, it was; but David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skills for that moment. And like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life.

If someone doesn’t want to be with you, they don’t like you, validate you, approve you, shake the dust off and move on. Accept that they’re not a part of your story.

When you use what you have—no matter how little it seems—God will multiply it. Don’t wait until you feel like a mighty hero. God works in our circumstances when we have faith, even the smallest amount of it. God’s promises are motion-activated.

If you don’t decide how you’re going to live, circumstances will decide for you. You’ll see every problem, and how it’s not going to work out. But the Scripture says, “Joy comes in the morning.” Every morning, God sends a fresh supply of joy. Receive it.

For turkey meatloaf, I like garlic, onion, thyme, sage, smoked paprika, black pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce for that savory flavor. Turkey is lean, so saute some finely diced onions in butter or bacon fat before mixing them in. That adds moisture and flavor and a little Dijon mustard is great too. Don't overmix it or you'll end up with a turkey brick!
@ChefGruel - if you don't mind sharing, what are the best seasonings for a turkey meatloaf or just a meatloaf in general? Thanks! Appreciative of suggestions from the peanut gallery too!

Everything that you’ve been through is preparing you for where God is taking you. It may not be comfortable. It may not be fair but God is going to use it to position you for the assignment that He’s placed on your life.
mary bartkowski retweeted
Too often, we think that doing God's will means some big assignment, something really special, when God has already laid out our assignments in a way that we tend to overlook. It means living with patient endurance, kindness, and longsuffering through the challenges.

There’s something called the gift of goodbye. We see it as a disappointment, but really, they’re doing you a favor. They had to leave so you can see the greater things. There are levels you couldn’t reach with those same people.
mary bartkowski retweeted
When you make pleasing God your highest priority, He will do things for you that you cannot do for yourself, and you’ll see your life go to new levels.
