Things have been tight on everybody no matter what your professional has been. The only difference seemed to be just when did that trickle down effect hit your business.

The Power of Friendship Conference ~ January 30, 2010

Power of Friendship:
It seems natural that with the New Year would come new goals and dreams. As I grow older however, I realize that my goals do not change from year to year but my ability to achieve the goals change. Like this year, I again desire to eat better and become more fit. However, this year I am perfectly content to watch my daughter workout with her Wii Fit game and do not have any desire to participate in the activity. And because my family life is busier and my work is never ending, I have no extra margin to fit in becoming more fit.
Regardless of the verbal support of my family, they would not be the ones keeping me accountable on a daily basis. in a daily way. We wake up together, try to eat meals together and say good night to each other but all of us are going in different directions. Love is the foundation of our home life but personal achievement is an individual responsibility.
For me, personally, my faith has not been the motivation to get me to change. My faith instead provides the inspiration to accept the need for change. I want to feel better about myself so I start thinking of ways to accomplish that goal. I have found that the peer pressure (or the friends) in my life are actually the motivating factor to get me to change. Peers are like deadlines dates. They both have the ability to motivate you to complete necessary tasks. Think of reunions or house parties or even going out, we all make a special effort to look extra good.
It is the same thing for me at work. It has not always been the inspiration of spiritual revelations that have kept me going. I really believe that it has been the physical tangible person, having a co-partner who has challenged me as well as encouraged to me to continue. We could become resentful of the peer pressure in our lives or we can be thankful for the power of friendship to change our lives.
Gossip, negativity, criticism, lack of support and judgments can cause anyone to quit because change can be too hard. Personally, I do not blame anyone for quitting. The world is filled with people who lack support, finances, encouragement and personal abilities to break out of habitually bad patterns. But I would recommend that they find a friend or an accountability partner to talk things out and get perspective before making any big decisions. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up."
Sometimes, it is in the honest sharing of your heart that someone else can give you the wisdom to endure. Sometimes, it is the person who asks you, “How’s it going?” and takes an interest to ask, that keeps you speaking and planning and dreaming and going. That kind of support might not ever come from your family but it might come from a friend. Family members have vested interests in you for themselves…as a spouse or parent or provider or scheduler. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, said it best when stating that God has a wonderful plan for your life and everyone in your life will tell you what it is. But a friend’s expectations are different.
Just because we know we need to change does not mean that it will be easy. Just because others tell us that we need to change does not mean they can give you the tools to do it. Life can be confusing and tough. The power of friendship can cut through the random factors to keep you focused. You do not have to go at it alone; people have been pairing up for years. God is totally into fellowship, counsel, and unity and empowers us through friendship.
**if you are a woman who is lonely, depressed and feel isolated, please join us at the Power of Friendship Conference on Saturday, January 30 in San Diego, California. Bring a friend and make a friend. You will be encouraged and you know that you are not alone. Depression will lift and love will fill your heart. Sign up. You do not want to miss this one day event.

May edition of Good News, etc. far reaches

Good News, etc. Newspaper is making an international impact . . . . .

Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church recently shared an exciting story about the outreach of Good News, etc. newspaper.

“We just returned from five days at Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana where Carol (his wife) was receiving treatment,” he said. “The April edition of Good News, etc. was there – very conspicuously displayed!”
He said that a Jewish woman, Ann Feinstein from Manhattan, New York (now living in Pennsylvania) was there with her mother. Her husband is owner of the Feinstein Co. that managed Michael Bolton and others.

“She picked up the paper, and became intrigued with it,” Garlow said. “She read everything – even the classifieds. She read the article on Carol’s cancer and thought to herself, ‘too bad this lady does not know about Oasis.’ Then she met Carol and was just stunned!

“She told me — on three occasions — how fascinated she was with the newspaper. Enthralled would be the better word. She loved it.
“As she read it, she was so moved, she said, that she had these thoughts of ‘Oh no! I am being converted!’”

The pastor didn’t say if indeed she took the next step, but she certainly would be someone to pray for salvation.
“It was a very intriguing conversation and I just wanted you to know,” Garlow said. “Way to go!”

Good News, etc. is online with its full editions!
