Thanksgiving Special
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In honor of Thanksgiving here is a devotional on how to be thankful:
Tips and tricks on how to be thankful:
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
1. Be focusing on God and not our problems
How?
By seeking God through prayer, worship, listening to Him, and reading the Bible. As you spend time seeking God, you will grow closer to God and the more you will know about God.
Also you need to change your mindset to stop focusing on your problems and circumstances and fix your eyes on God. You change your mindset by seeking God and asking God to renew your mind. God will renew your mind as you spend time seeking Him. Because when we draw near to God, God will draw near to us. (Psalm 125:1-2)
As one of my favorite authors and speakers Joyce Meyer says: "We all have a part (in a relationship with God). God has a part and we have a part. We have to do our part (by seeking God) because God will not do our part."
2. To Count our blessings
How do you do that?
Make lists everyday of things you are thankful for and praise God for the things on your list.
Here is my list:
I am thankful for my family and friends.
I am thankful for my pets.
I am thankful for being able to go to college on campus.
I am thankful I have good grades in college.
I am thankful for being able to crochet blankets and run my small business "Caty Crafts."
I am for my ministry: "Jesus Saves Ministry" and how well it's growing.
I am thankful for my published book: "Jesus Saves-Daily Devotions" (which is on Amazon and Barnes and Noble just type in the search bar: "Caty Lyle" and you can find it) and how well it has sold.

Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger!

8 1330Level Up Hero!
In a world where the gods' gift a chosen few with great powers, Sam Shepard is among the weakest of the weak. His crappy healing ability can’t even cure minor injuries without having to drain Sam’s own life-force to do it. Hero society doesn't think he's useful, and after failing to heal those he was tasked to save, Sam couldn't help but agree. It’s why he quit. But it turns out that giving up the hero life isn’t easy, not when one’s caught in the machinations of the gods themselves. After Sam gets pulled into rescuing the hero, Thunder, he inherits a strange power from her; the training system that taught her how to become a top hero. It apparently holds the secret to leveling up one's power, a feat no one knew was possible. Not that it'll be easy to achieve... A series of challenging missions and the occasional hero lesson from the system’s creator guarantee a lot of cuts and bruises in Sam's immediate future. But at least he finally gets the chance to go from zero to hero. Oh, yeah, there's also ghastly horrors and megalomaniac super-villains to contend with on Sam’s path to becoming the symbol of hope that humanity needs.
