Here are some great thoughts and truths I’ve chewed on in 2010. I hope they’ll help you:

• Discipline is remembering what you want
• God’s word isn’t just instruction, it’s empowerment to do what it says!
• I can be used by God everywhere I go
• Success is always being, not having
• God wants to be as unique with my story as He is with everyone else’s
• Focus on things that will produce fruit – long term
• People’s opinions don’t matter, it’s His Word that matters
• I’m always going to have to choose between people’s approval or God’s approval
• Apart from God, we can’t do anything worth doing!
• Job 23:10 – God knows where I’m at and where I’m going, when I come out, I’ll be like gold!
• II Chronicles 16:9 – I’ll only have victories where I trust God!
• John 21 – 3 Things I need to do if I love God – 1.) Follow Him 2.) Feed His sheep 3.) Don’t worry about how God is using everyone else
• Jesus was never confused. He always knew what to say, where to go, and what to do, and we should be the same.
• The only thing worth giving people is Jesus.

• Only Life Focus: To make Jesus famous one person at a time.
• Wherever I go and whatever I do, I’ll be blessed if I’m following God –Deut. 28:6
• God is who makes you great, you can never make yourself great!
• A “call” is not the same thing as “developed”
• “If God gives you a dream, and the dream comes to life, God shows up, then the dream dies, it may be that God wants to see what’s more important to you – the dream or Him?”
• “The impact God has planned for us doesn’t occur when we’re pursuing impact. It occurs when we’re pursuing God. At long last after a lifetime of striving God was enough. Not God and impact or God and ministry. Just God.”
• We’re educated way beyond our obedience!
• There isn’t a lack of people to minister to, there is a lack of people that have something to say when they minister
• Daily Choice: Am I going to be a leader or a clown?
• Prayer: God, develop me as quickly and as solidly as possible.
• David went from feeding the sheep to serving the King, out of Nowhere
• You can always be bigger on the inside than you are on the outside
• One act is better than a thousand intentions

• Romans 10:11 – No one who believes in Him will ever be put to shame or disappointed!
• Psalm 113:7-8 He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the dung heap. He sets me among princes, even the princes of God’s own people!
• In all labor there is profit, but idle talk leads to poverty. –Proverbs 14:23
• Exalt the Word of God over everything else
• What I love about my heroes (Keith Moore, John Maxwell, etc.) is the God in them!
• Nobody has a step up on me in the Word! The more I value the Word of God, the more I’ll reap!
• God’s correction isn’t just correction, it’s preparation!
• Walk in the light you have, not the light someone else is trying to give you!
• It’s not what you know, it’s what people will receive!
• I’d be more effective if I asked God what I’m supposed to do everyday!
• Anytime you let other people’s opinions fill your heart, you push God out.
