Enslaved in Hope

Something I wrote a couple of years ago I thought I would share.
Enslaved in Hope

As a child of God, I am enslaved to hope, I am imprisoned to the truth and know that no matter what I do I am accepted as righteous in Him, that I cannot fail when I am an obedient slave to the Master of hope, that whatever is formed against me will not prosper and it will render itself merciless to the power of hope that He has given us. Not only am I a slave of this hope, I am imprisoned in its life conquering victory that will never pass away, no matter how resistant and defeated I am, the Administer of hope has timing that is perfect . Even when hope is not seen, sensed or recognized and you think it is completely gone, it attacks you like a lion and renders you a helpless victim of hope with out any defense. The Master subjects you to hopeless situations so that He can feed the ever ravenous, unquenchable hunger and thirst of hope. We can do things people fear doing, we can say things people fear or get angry at, we can be the most risk taking people in the earth; but still in the end no matter how much we resist we will end up as a victim, a victim of our Masters hope!!!

Confused and Stunned By Dan Miller

I ran across this blog and copied it to mine. Thought you might enjoy it.

Post : Confused and Stunned –Posted : July 2, 2010 at 3:02 pmAuthor : Dan MillerTags : business, cole, confused, cuban, dell, money, stunnedCategories : Business Start-Up, Finding Passion, No More Mondays, Personal DevelopmentIs now a time to try something new – perhaps something you’ve never done before? Or should you sit out the “recession” and wait until “things get better.”“The times when everyone is confused and stunned can present an enormous opportunity because no one’s really doing anything,” says Dell Computer founder Michael Dell. “I think this is the time when the seeds of really successful new businesses will be created.”Designer Kenneth Cole says, “When things are going well, people want to do what’s working and more of it. It’s only in difficult times that people are open to creative alternatives.”Mark Cuban, entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, points out that some of the greatest businesses were built in recessionary times. “Money is easy to find in boom times, which leads to far too many businesses getting out of the gate that don’t deserve to be started. When money is scarce, better ideas face less competition and better execution can lead to greater success.”Whether it’s changing career paths or starting your own business, there’s never been a more opportune time than today. July 1st marks the beginning of the second half of 2010. And what better time to claim your “independence” than on July 4th. Recognize you are in the driver’s seat, break ties with the mother country if necessary and begin your personal revolution. And remember, “things” get better when you get better.
