i'm going to do my best to post weekly on here...so here it goes! i recently watched this sermon from elevation church and had to share! (click link to view) 

a few notes i took away..

"W H A T is holding you B A C K? people, events, financial situations, health, etc..?
it is NOT the things that are holding us back. IT IS HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THE THING THAT HOLDS YOU BACK." 

philippians 4:8

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, --if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- T H I N K about such things.

• we can not live a courageous life, without having a concentrated mind. 
• an unfocused mind will break your faith.
• fear and faith are both powered by focus.
• fear is a result of focus. faith is a result of focus. do not focus on things that cause fear, what we cant do, what we cant have...
• faith is the by product of correct focus.

"the opposite of success is unfaithfulness, not failure
if you are faithful in God to what you are called to do, even your failure will work for your God."


this is 100% the mindset that I want to have going into 2017!
