Letting Go For Higher Ground

Today is a landmark day for me; it will be my final Talk YOUR Story show – at least for now. Letting go of things is difficult, but if we ever want to be free to move to God’s higher ground for us, we have to. God calls us from glory to glory as we grow. Like the trapeze artist who cannot hold on to one bar while grabbing the next, we must rely completely on faith as we move between the bars, aka move forward. It scary and exciting. God loves a heart that will put confidence in HIM. Want something fresh? Want to move forward? Want excitement and adventure? Want freedom to live in joy? Then, loosen the death grip on “whatever,” and LET GO. God has got your back! I hope you can share this final show with us!

The Power of Self-Boundaries!

Against gentleness and self-control, there is no law. Galatians 5:23
Isn’t it easy to point a critical finger, especially at a spouse? Since we can’t control or change someone else, why not put our energy where we DO have some power? Often we want something from someone that we don’t even offer ourselves. Sometimes, we don’t express our needs in an effective way, or we fail to draw boundaries when they are needed. These things are our own responsibility. How wonderful it is to open our hearts to correction, knowing the whole time that God loves us right now, just as we are! Join us on the 14th or you’ll be missed!

Boundaries, Part 2

The Bible uses the phrase “unfailing love” 32 times. Not once is it attributed to humans. It would be wise for us to consider our own imperfect love as we continue this week on the topic of boundaries. In the book, Boundaries in Marriage, Henry Cloud and John Townsend discuss 10 “Laws of Boundaries.” They are likened to gravity in that we don’t have to acknowledge them or even “believe in them,” but nonetheless, they are in effect. I think it wise to educate ourselves, so that we will recognize them when they are in play and take responsibility for protecting our marriage, our spouse, and ourselves. Now doesn’t that sound good? You BET it is!!

Boondocks

Did you ever use your life history as an excuse for your current behavior? Hey, don’t lie to me, not for a second. I’ve done it. You’ve done it, but there comes a time to “mature up.” Even if, from the bottom of our hearts, we believe our “reasons” for being as we are, we’ve got to admit, they are mighty convenient. God’s plan for us includes big backwoods ponds of freedom. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what your story is, God has written a bigger, truer story for you that is your destiny. If you want all He has for you, then you have to get into agreement with God about his plans for you. Why not decide it’s time to learn a little more, in order to step boldly into all that you are to become?

An Entitled Attitude. Is It You?

Do you know someone with an entitled attitude? Is it you?

Have you ever felt like you were entitled to a promotion, a pay raise, or just acknowledgement for a job well done? What about when you did all the right things to get what you wanted and were let down anyway? Do you ever suffer from the disease called “I wanted it, but didn’t get it, so now I’m frustrated and miserable!”? (Long, yet descriptive name, huh?) Talk YOUR Story.

Lisa Ryan wants people to know that it IS ok to talk about deep needs and feelings and that we are NOT alone in our struggles with life. It’s also important to know that God’s amazing word, the Bible, is packed with practical information that can help your life become all God intends it to be. His plans for you are not only exciting, but designed to impact the world!
