Dreams

Evaluate Your Thoughts and Fears

by

A special post for today, January 8th 2011

It is alright to be afraid to do something different and something new in your life. There is nothing wrong with that fear. It is a healthy, normal and intuitive fear. It keeps us from doing stupid things that lead to disaster, in general.

But, when that quiet voice in your heart, keeps telling you to do something and you keep postponing it, it is time to re-evaluate your thoughts and fears.

If it was just a passing phase, then you will go back to your life without incident and continue doing what you were doing. If it is the true voice that leads down a new wonderful path, then stop and listen.

It will come back and become insistent. It will haunt you and keep you awake at night wanting to be allowed in your life. That voice will not still until you do what you are supposed to do with your life.

Follow your dreams, even if you are scared, even if you are afraid.

Lonely in Santa Cruz

by

Dear Baba Rumcake,

As a recent arrival in Santa Cruz, I need ideas on how to meet people, make friends, network within the local business community, etc. WITHOUT spending any money! Looking for work and watching outgoing expenses, so no meet-ups or business meetings that cost anything; zilch, nada, NOTHING!…Can you offer any sound effectual advice?
Thanks,
Lonely in Santa Cruz

Dear Lonely,
Don’t be so stingy! Even people with limited income can be generous. Santa Cruz is the place to meet people and make friends. Most people in that city are friendly and happy to engage.
Walk the street. Talk to everyone. You will be surprised how a little kindness on your part, will go a long way to introducing yourself. Share a sandwich, a cup of coffee, with someone. Do not buy them their own cup of coffee or sandwich, just share some of yours. People are likely to enjoy the sharing. Strike up a conversation with some of the groups on the street. There are young strolling musicians. Stop and chat.

God bless on your search. Let me know how you do.

Happy New Year 2011

by

For this, the beginning of the year, it is good to remember, that obedience to God is the first promise to be made. If nothing else, stop worrying about the effect your obedience will have on others.

God is not to be mocked. He knows. This is not news. Just do whatever it is you know you need to do and the rest will fall into place the way it is supposed to.

Nothing is more destructive than second guessing the direction that the Lord is taking you. Stop all doubts. Do it even if you are afraid. Just do it.

Happy New Year. Happy new leaf turned over for your benefit and for glory.
