Interesting this is today's subject- I have been cleaning the cobwebs out has been the focus of this past week. I finished my ACSC PME/ Masters course and have been burning the candle at both ends for some time now. The effort paid off and scored a 94 on my thesis- to cover my program with a 3.97 GPA and earning distinction honors. Now this week- I have accomplished little more than soul searching for what is next and relaxing a bit. I have several projects that have been neglected and will occupy some time. Excited for this next chapter to start....Good RED Friday RP

I pray that you and I trust the LORD’s guidance and direction as HE guides day by day to move forward or stop and adjust periodically, my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
I thank YOU Holy Spirit for dwelling with the soul of each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters. I am grateful that YOU sanctify the soul of each one of us and YOU lead us forward throughout life.
I pray that each one of us is alert to YOU and that we quickly respond correctly when YOU admonish us to change direction or behavior.
Give each of us a heart/soul sensitive to YOU Holy Spirit. I pray that YOU bless parents with wisdom and eyes to see how their children best learn at each stage of their development.
I pray that teachers respect parents and children. I pray that YOU bless them with wisdom to pass on the knowledge and how to learn effectively and efficiently.
Do what it takes to move the elected officials at all levels to move forward for the sakes of those they are responsible for.
I pray that YOU move YOUR own adopted children in the U.S. House of Representatives to encourage the U.S. House to develop legislation and negotiate moving forward. I pray that YOU do open the eyes of the electorate and ears to hear the prejudice and duplicity in the impeachment inquiry. Dear God I pray that YOU shine light in the darkness throughout the Legislative and Executive Branch
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good RED morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Glad you had a productive trip to NY but I bet everyone in Castle Rock is glad you are home.
Sometimes it is hard to make a decision to let go of where you are so that you can move forward. Sometimes it is comfortable, or just feels like a place full of things you know and so it is hard to be brave and take that step but if you are going to grow as a person (in your life, business, spiritually) you have to make the decision not to stay where you are and to move forward with your life.

Good R.E.D Friday morning my RP Family. Today’s motivational quote would be an excellent discussion on WFL, COL Mikel Burroughs. I hope you consider it for a future virtual discussion. I find that moving forward is something that God wants us to do. We can look to out past to evaluate our mistakes and then move forward to correct them and to improve our future. We can do this for our work performance or for our healing from things that have happened to us physically and emotionally. I hope y’all get a blessing from the following article that I have included. Have a blessed day today and always.

How To Move Forward In Life
Posted by Stewart Kabatebate
Isaiah 43:18 ESV
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old

God does not want us to be stuck in the past. The problem with always focusing on the past is that it hinders us from looking forward. When we focus only on the issues in the past, we fail to concentrate on the objectives we need to accomplish in the present and on the goals we need to complete in the future. When the past is crippling us, we must learn how to move forward in life.
Sometimes we can be stuck in the hurts of the past; sometimes we don’t want to forget the bad experiences we had with others; sometimes we are afraid of our past failures and therefore we fear the future and we fear the unknown.
However the problem with allowing the past to control you is that remembering the past can sometimes paralyze you and hinder you from moving forward in your life.

Forget The Former Things, Consider The New
In Isaiah 43:18, God instructs us to FORGET the former things. Perhaps in your own life there are things that are holding you back which you need to forget if you are to move forward in your life.
Perhaps you need to stop holding onto your past failures. Failures are a part of life and as long as we are imperfect people, we will at times fail or make mistakes. What is important after we have failed, is that we should LEARN from our specific failures and mistakes so that we do not repeat the same mistakes. It is said that Thomas Edison the inventor of the light bulb failed over 1000 times before he successfully invented the light bulb. Clearly this man did not give up because of his failures nor did he allow his past failings to stop him from moving forward towards his goal. In relation to his many prior failures, Edison was quoted as saying that he found over 1000 ways of how NOT to make a light bulb.

In Isaiah 43:18, God also instructs us not to consider the “things of old”. Perhaps you need to find a new way of achieving your objectives. Perhaps you need to start seeing your challenges in a different way. Perhaps you need to be more innovative. It is said that CHANGE is the only constant.
Albert Einstein said “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

Isaiah 43:19 ESV
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Focus On What God Is Doing
God our Creator knows that remembering the former things or considering the things of old will only serve to paralyse us from moving forward, therefore He instructs us to forget the former things. We must not let the past experiences in our lives hinder us.
Rather our eyes and perception must be focused on God. Our objectives must be focused on God’s plans. Our plans and God’s plans must be aligned if we are to succeed.
If you are to succeed, you must not rely on your own strength, but you must rely on God’s strength. In Isaiah 43:19, God says that it is HE who will make a way in the wilderness. God also says that it is HE who will make rivers in the desert.
Perhaps you feel like you are in the wilderness. Perhaps you feel lost, alone and afraid in your wilderness. From today, rely on God to make a way in your wilderness.
Perhaps you feel like you are in the desert. You feel thirst, dry and have nothing to sustain you. From today allow God to make rivers in your desert by trusting, obeying and having faith in Him. Don’t let the failures of your past prevent you from trusting in God and moving forward in your life.

Philippians 3:12-14 ESV
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

A point that I did not see was that our 'failures can also be our starting point in reaching out to others who are in the midst of their own failing. For instance my past experience with alcohol means I have an understanding when talking with someone who is dealing with alcoholism. My failing now becomes my triumph in God.
