Character building

Character building starts the moment you envision in your mind what you want to be - not who, what. Who God wants you to be.

Character takes years to build - about 10 years. But the first 50% is accomplished in the first second when you make your mind to build your character. The other 50% is every other time you come face to face with that decision and maintain your stand. At the end of that 10 years, your character has been shaped out of nothing but that Continual Decision that you have made over the years becoming a habit so unmovable that it is now accepted as your character.

Every now and then we fail. Every now and then we make that wrong decision. Every now and then, we fail to build that character that we desire to be. That wrong decision can cost us another 1 year of making the right decisions. Because it is so easily broken down and so hard to build - like trust.

Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

If Your Husband is in Love with Someone Else

Other than praying for your husband, you can try a few things: 1. Pray and fast for him 2. Every morning, ask "How can I love you today?" 3. Look into his eyes, hold his hands and tell him how much you appreciate all he has done and how much he means to you, sincerely from your heart. 4. Wash his feet. Literally. With a bucket of water. 5. How you feel now isn't half as bad as how it's going to be if you really have that divorce. Do everything you can to save your marriage the devil is attacking. That woman is not from God. He is committing adultery. Don't give up.

Oreo Method: Delegating to Kids

Two ways to do it -- I call this the Oreo Method: you either eat the cookies or the cream: Cookie Method If you aren't in a hurry that day, the kids routinely do the tasks they're worst at until they 'graduate' from doing that task -- you're happy with the standards they're achieving for that task. This can go on for months. Cream Method Or when you're in a hurry: the other way around -- the kids do the chores they're the best at and the house gets put in order quickly.
