Too often our Dreams and Goals seem to have a wall around them that cannot be broken down. It is as though they are unattainable. Joshua 6 gives us many principles that help us to overcome those walls.
Our Dreams and Goals will not surrender to us. We have to work for them in order to achieve them. Just like Joshua, we have to learn how to deal with many personalities, follow instructions regardless of how simple or how difficult they may be. The instructions were given to Joshua and the people to test (1) Their Patience (2) Obedience and their (3) Faith.
The shout that the people were to give is never detailed in scripture. However, I believe that they were to shout an affirmation! It came before the final push of victory. It has been proven that those who say daily positive affirmations not only perform better, but also achieve those Dreams and Goals they have set for themselves.
Once those walls fall that are guarding our Dreams and Goals, we are able to enjoy the promised rewards of victory! Our celebration of those victories are usually public for others to see. When we do celebrate those victories, others are encouraged to chase their Dreams and Goals as well!
Blessings,
Dr. Tim
We can have it all when the walls fall!

I'm A First Round Pick!
Today is Draft Day! For football fans, this is a day that is longed for year after year. Some are rooting for their favorite players to be picked early. The top question to be asked by the choosing team is, "How will player X help our team to succeed?"
Here are also some questions that we must ask ourselves."What makes me valuable to a team that is wanting to select me?" "What am I doing to make myself desired?" "What am I doing to improve my chances of selection?"
In the NFL draft, players are examined, prodded, poked, measured and analyzed in every possible way. They take a timed logic and reasoning test that is used to gauge calm and critical thinking in high pressure situations.
A test that is used and has become one of prominence is the PACE - (Performance After A Critical Error) test. It looks to see what a player does immediately after making a mistake.
It may not be as easy to quantify as how fast the player can run a certain distance or how much weight that player can lift, but it may be more critical in determining who can make the team better. PACE is a silent determiner in examining how the shadow of a past mistake affects future performance.
Players who demonstrate a high quality PACE find themselves as favorites in the front offices just like those who know how to handle difficult moments are highly valued in other businesses.
Imagine you have just made a mistake in a key situation that could be detrimental to your teammates. How will you respond immediately after when you are called upon to deliver the goods? Do you lose focus and compound the problem with additional errors or do you move on and focus on the next play?
If you want to increase your value and potential for success, increase your PACE. It is the ultimate show of that characteristic that everyone wants: mental toughness. Will you play scared, or will you play through? Don't let that mistake cost you another play! Understand that any error you make, the most important thing is your performance on the next play.
“Well, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.” ― L.M. Montgomery

What's New?
Today, many are beginning a journey through this next year with resolutions to change some things in their life. These New Year resolutions are usually made on the spot, out of guilt, and a misguided attempt to start the year off fresh. It is a valuable thing to take the time to reflect on the past year and ponder the coming year with what we want to create in it.
This year, I have decided to not make any New Year resolutions but to make some New Year commitments! Resolutions say "I'll try" and commitments say "I will"! Someone wrote, "Resolve means to "decide" to do something, but commit means to "devote oneself unreservedly to doing". There is no guilt or regrets from the past year, but there are some things that I want to be different.
My commitments this year are to study scripture more, pray more, become more involved in ministry, and of course....lose weight! Yours may be different, but you will never accomplish them without a commitment!
Here's to you and your blessed New Year. Give God the glory He deserves, serve Him, and regardless of what others say....Jesus is Lord!

One thing that will I will not change is my love for the "Crimson Tide"! ROLL TIDE ROLL!
