Quinoa (Keen-Wah) has become one of my favorite dishes at home! Often thought to be a grain, it’s actually a seed and is a great source of protein. It’s very simple to make and as you’ll see on this In The Kitchen segment on Fox you can use it for breakfast lunch or dinner. Watch below to learn more!
Know The Goal
Chris Bryan
Psalm 119:97-105
Here is a sunrise devotional video for you to start your day!
Knowledge doesn’t do us any good if we don’t gain wisdom. Wisdom is the key to us making the decisions that will help us live our best possible life.
Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift that has ever been given!
Christmas is not about the gifts of this world that we get, it’s about what God the Father gave.
When we say YES to Jesus, we walk in faith, hope, and love toward the life that God created us to live.

Romans 12:1-2 (A New Mind) June 27, 2021
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2).
We are all searching for a purpose, for that one thing that will help us feel complete. The problem is that we can look in the wrong places. There is one source that can complete you, and that source is Jesus Christ.
In this devotional we will learn from Solomon as he teaches us our greatest purpose.
God’s promises are certain and can be trusted. In Hebrews 6:13-20, the writer is reminding us of three things. That we must be patient with God’s promises, that we must be confident in God’s promises, and that we must have hope because of God’s promises. Jesus promised that He was going to prepare a place for us, and that is a promise of hope that we must keep confident in!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
******************************************************
To walk in faith means to trust in the sovereignty and love of God no matter what obstacles come into our lives. Jesus guaranteed us that we would find trouble in this world and that we would encounter tribulation. When we trust in the Lord, He provides us the peace and strength needed to overcome every challenge. Never give up on your faith and the world will never defeat you. The obstacles you overcome today through faith in Christ, will help prepare you for whatever you’re faced with tomorrow. Trust in the great love of the Lord and Never Give Up!
True hope gives strength, peace and joy, and the ultimate source of hope is Jesus Christ. In this devotional we read through Hebrews 10:23-25 to study the hope that Jesus provides.
There are two questions to consider.
So you want to set some goals
The best way to get where you want to go in life is by having a map! A map will guide you to where ever you want to go and will take the guess work out of how to get there! Being successful at anything in life is no different, if you see the path to take and you stick to it, you’re sure to get there! Which is why you always here me say ‘Know The Goal’, after all how can you hit the goal, if you don’t know the goal! S.M.A.R.T Goals are the easiest way to breakdown what we want and how we get it!
So here we go, read the below to get an understanding of how we set ourselves up for success!
SPECIFIC: Having specific goals gives you a much better chance of hitting them then just something general. There are six”W” questions you’ll want to answer to make a goal specific!
Who: Who is involved?
What: What do I want to accomplish?
Where: Identify a location.
When: Establish a time frame.
Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.
EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, “Lose Weight, or Build Muscle.” A specific goal would say, “I will commit to workout 4 times per week at a fitness facility doing group exercise.”
MEASURABLE: Give your self a solid criteria so you can measure your progress each step of the way and see your progress. There’s no better feeling then progress or accomplishment and this will help you stay focused on hitting the goal!
A way to be sure your goal is measurable you can ask yourself questions like
How often do I need to do ‘blank” to hit my target goal
How will I know when I’ve hit my goal?
Example: If you want to lose 20 pounds, you’ll need to know how you go about losing 1 pound per week, and then hitting you’ll monitor your progress and if you stick to it, you should hit your goal in 5 months or less!
ACHIEVABLE: One of the most important parts of hitting goals is making sure you can hit them and they’re within your physical or mental limitations. Developing the attitude, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them.
I am 100% confident that you can hit any goal you set your mind to, when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them.
RELEVANT: To be relevant, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and relevant you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress.
A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love.
TIME-BASED: A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there’s no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? “Someday” won’t work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, “by May 1st”, then you’ve set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.
Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.
So now that you’ve got a better idea of what a S.M.A.R.T goal is you can start to think about what goals you want to hit and in what amount of time you want to hit them! Stay tuned for more information of setting specific goals!
