Five Ways to Understand Your Uniqueness
God weaves a recipe of our family lines together, breathes life into our mother's womb and we are mysteriously and uniquely created. He then uses all kinds of things to shape us and make us who we are. Paying attention to these factors, articulating them and owning them is powerful.

My First Memory of Encountering God
Often our early encounters with God are somewhat unorthodox. That's because God doesn't really fit in a box - He reveals Himself to us in unique ways. Taking time to reflect over our early experiences of God can be very fruitful - we may see how He was working and drawing us to Himself far earlier and more profoundly than we realized.
A Positive Mindset Overcomes Challenges
A positive mindset is required to have a productive and satisfying life. We are tempted to seek deliverance from our troubles in all the wrong places. We need, however, to be rooted and aligned in our Design, Placement and Purpose. If we are aligned, we can positively stand and move ahead into our mountain of destiny.
Expand Your Capacity to Be With God
God wants to be with you in increasingly deep and meaningful ways.
You can Be With Him more tangibly and significantly. It starts with you wanting to be with Him ... or at least wanting to want to be with Him.
If you look for the Lord (Psalm 105:4), you will find Him. "You will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13).
A few tools or springboards to the process of Being With God are ...
* Scripture ... 2 Timothy 3:16
* Prayer ... beyond petitioning, beyond intercession, into communion
* Stillness and Silence ... simply being with Him without demand
* Waiting Upon the Lord ... deepening and growing in faith, as we hope in Him

Who Do You Think You Are?
Often the expression, "Who do you think you are?" is thrown at us as a challenge or taunt. You may have heard it on the playground, or in the classroom. Possibly your parents spoke it to you as a way to get you to stand down - to get a handle on yourself - and to fall inline
The enemy of your souls will also taunt you with this kind of expression whenever you are growing, taking positive action or moving into his space. He taunted Adam and Eve with such thoughts ... and he used them against Jesus too.
It is hugely important for you to get a clear sense of who you are - your design and your identity. Who you are - or at least your sense of it - will become the foundation for most of the major decisions and steps of your life.
Take time to Get Clear - it will save you a great deal of time along the way.

What's Your Prayer, What's Your Plan, What's Your Play?
- Learn to Discern - what God wants you to pray and live into.
- Prioritize Your Options - priorities help you make decisions.
- Schedule what you want to do and compartmentalize so you don't get distracted. Once have had decided what you want/need to do - make plans and do it. At that point keep your eyes on the small picture ... doing what you need to do.

Core Challenges Require Core Responses
We often experience Core Challenges until we develop the Right Responses.
The challenges - or tests - may be repeated again and again until we are finally able to address and/or overcome them.
Now is the time to choose your Key Intentional Responses to the challenges that you have left hanging.
