Romans 1:17
17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

We may only get one shot at life, but that doesn’t mean we only get one shot with the things in our life. In life we are given a certain amount of arrows and it’s up to us where we direct those arrows. Some shoot them with no real target; shoot them at the same targets and/or know where to shoot them but try to get a bulls-eye with every shot. Every arrow is a life lesson and is suppose to make us stronger, wiser, and better. Every target we don’t get can be seen as a wasted opportunity, but that is only if you don’t learn from those lessons (arrows). I believe we all, at one point, have no idea where to go or where to aim at. It’s important that at some point we find a real direction. As we get older we realize there will be distractions and obstacles challenging us from hitting our targets. Never stop shooting! You have to endure. One of my favorite bible verses comes from Matthew 10:22- and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. We are suppose have distractions or bad habits to keep us from reaching are ultimate goals. There WILL be people that you know are not good for your life that will only bring you down and keep you from progressing, and we will all become victims at some point; but I’m sure you heard it before “If He brought you to it, He will bring you through it,” even if you brought the it on yourself!

We are not perfect and some people have greater strengths than others, but according to Ecclesiastes 9:11-Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. With God being the Master Archer not only will he shoot the arrows for you but He will give you an endless supply of arrows, and will continually shower down blessings on your life.

God may sit high but He will walk in the deepest, darkest valleys with you too, as long as you keep shooting them arrows and asking him to lead them to your targets.

Inspirationally Yours,

“I’d gone through life believing in the strength and competence of others; never in my own. Now, dazzled, I discovered that my capacities were real. It was like finding a fortune in the lining of an old coat.” — Joan Mills

Take a moment to stop and think about what you give to the people and life around you. Don’t think about what you’re not doing right. Look instead at all you do that is a blessing.

Many of us continually beat ourselves up for not doing or being enough. But imagine for a moment that you are great just as you are. Feel the relief this brings! Now open to the possibility that this is not a daydream. It’s true! Believe it!

The part I put in bold (3rd stance from the beginning) is something that I find myself doing quite often- beating myself up over any and everything. Not necessary and quite foolish. I am perfectly imperfect and there’s nothing wrong with that. We can’t and won’t be the end-all, be-all all by ourselves, but we are enough and those that matter will not only accept that but EMBRACE it; but first we must believe that & receive that for ourselves.

Many times I hear friends complain about family members and I feel grateful to have the family I have. I feel like my family members are also my friends. They say you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family members…pretty neat how God doesn’t give you an option about family members. He knows who should be in your life. I had a great time with my family and I encourage you to reach out to yours as often as possible. Like the saying goes, we don’t pick our family. God does! Until next time…

Luke 5:20

20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

Be Blessed

The answer is simple- NO ONE!

Romans 8:39 says that neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Sometimes I feel so far from God; when I fall short; when I miss too many Sundays at church; when I neglect to stop and just say “thank you (Lord);” but there’s no distance that can keep us from God’s love. With His love comes grace, from His grace we receive mercy, by His mercy we are blessed to see a brand new day.

Thank God for His love!

Matthew 17:20
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Be Blessed

Everything comes full circle. We live and we learn. Life being too short is much more than a cliche’, it’s a reality for me.

Dr Love,

My boyfriend/baby’s daddy have been living together for roughly 3 years. Everytime I bring up marriage he gets upset but yet he tells our friends that I am the one. Should I continue to wait? Impatient

Yes be patient. If he is showing you signs of commitment and everything is going well your time will come. Men take more time than women do when it comes to marriage. 

Dr. Love,

I have been dating a girl for the past 3 months. I really like her but because of her sketchy past she has decided to become celibate until she gets married. I am trying to be understanding but all my friends thinks its strange that she decided to become celibate after meeting me when she has been around the block more than a few times. How can I tell if she is sincere or just playing me? Fool In Love

Only time will tell. If you really like her then she may be worth waiting for.

Dr. Love,

My boyfriend is getting ready to go off to college out of state and I am going to the 12^th grade. He agreed to break up because of the distance but he asked me not to date anyone. Is it fair for me to wait on him while he goes off? First Love

No! Don’t let him hold you back from dating. He broke up with you because he wants to be single while in college, but at least he did not lead you on. “So you better counsel that man like Nino” Yea I’m Single in the words of Lil Wayne!!!!!!

How do I get my husband to be more assertive to his ex wife. She calls all through the night, drop the son off whenever it is convenient for her, and ALWAYS ask for money. He acts like a puppy whenever she comes around. How do I get him to handle her before I do? Fed Up

That’s tough. The both of you will have to sit down and determine what will work best for your relationship. Ask him how would he feel if you had a man calling you in the middle of the night? I don’t think he would like that very much. So ask him to respect your feelings, but at the same time you have to be fair when thinking about his.

Last year I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me. To get him back I slept with his best friend two months ago. Ever since then he won’t talk to me or even look at me. How can he be mad when he did it first? Confused

What do you mean how can he be mad? You slept with his best friend, not some random dude. First of all 2 wrongs never make a right!!!!! Second you are women, so have some respect for yourself don’t sleep with your mates friend or anyone else just get even! I don’t blame him for not speaking to you that’s low! What if the shoe was on the other foot? Never give yourself to anyone who is not worthy of you. Get it together before you ruin your reputation and don’t forget that AIDS and other STDs are out there. Please believe they are real and it can happen to you.

My Fiancé of 4 years has a 2 year old daughter (I am sure you can figure it out). Well every since the baby came our marriage plans has been put on hold. Last month he said he think we should become common law married until the baby turns 18 because he doesn’t want me to get caught up in the child support stuff. Is it best I just move on? Hurt

Well that is something you have to decide, I can’t make that decision for you. It depends on if you can deal with living with this child and loving this child as if it was your very own. If you can’t do this then you need to move on because this child may someday live with the both of you and it wouldn’t be fair to punish the child for something your fiancé did. If you don’t trust your fiancé (check his phone, wonder what he doing, etc) then you need to take some time and determine is he what you really want along with the child or do you deserve better. If you can handle all of this then it may be best to wait, so that you won’t be tied to child support.

Dr. Love

I asked my boyfriend of a year if I could have his email password. He said no because I should trust him enough not to want to go through it and I said if he has nothing to hide then why can’t I have it. How do you see it? Curious

I see it both ways. If you trust him then you don’t need it unless you really have a valid reason. However he could be hiding something, but maybe not. I say let it be because whatever’s done in the dark will come to the light.

My wife has a son by a soldier who was killed in Iraq. Everything I do (or don’t do) is compared to her deceased husband, who in her eyes was perfect. How can I get out of his shadow? Frustrated

Counseling ASAP! She seems to be still in love with ex-husband and misses him. So to heal her wound she takes it out on you, which can destroy a relationship.
