“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23
His mercies are new every morning. I am so grateful for this because as we come around to the end of the month I have already faltered a little on sticking to my goals and resolutions for this New Year.
Almost everyone has good intentions of New Year’s resolutions. How many times in life have you started gung-ho and ready to accomplish all you resolve to do, then only two weeks later find yourself discouraged and feeling beat up because you failed?
Let’s talk about that!
Writing the Goals/ Resolutions
Personally, I don’t do resolutions. I write goals. I pick something I want to achieve but I know I can’t do in my own strength. I make a goal which will require me to rely on God to accomplish it. I make plans specifically toward sticking to my goals. When you are choosing your goals, especially if you are new at this, pick something reasonable and then go a little further.
For example, don’t set a goal to do a zero gravity space flight if you are afraid of flying! (That’s me!) Keep your task within your realistic interests and dreams. When you pick your goal choose something you can accomplish within the year.
Sticking to It
One of the best ways to stick to and accomplish your goal is to have a purposeful plan. Take the time to write out the steps you will take to accomplish your goal. Break it down into small steps so you can measure your progress.
It takes determination and perseverance to stick to your plan. This is when you rely on the strength of the Lord. When you are tired and discouraged about achieving your goal meditate on the fact that in your weakness, God is made strong!
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-11 (NIV)
In those moments when you feel you haven’t been sticking to your goals – you feel like giving up or you have gone off track, Jesus steps in and strengthens you to keep going.
Finally, when trying to stay on track, remember this encouragement. You will reap, just hang in there and persevere.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
Overcoming Slip-ups
One of the most difficult things about accomplishing and sticking to your goals is staying encouraged. Discouragement can come so easy when we don’t stick to the plan or we get off track or just forget to move forward. That is why it is good to have some encouragement in your arsenal for those not-so-good-days.
Understand that making your dreams come true require you to act. So in those times or weakness and discouragement or if you just get lazy remember:
“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:7 (NIV)
During times of discouragement it can be hard to gather your strength to keep going. But God has already thought of this! He provided us the Holy Spirit to help specifically in times of weakness, dismay and discouragement. Take the time to pray, asking the Holy Spirit to help you in your weakness.
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” Romans 8:26 ESV
Your goal may be starting something new. It might involve starting a new habit, a new relationship or a new business. You are just at the beginning. God loves newness, rebirth, transformation and growth. Staying connected to Jesus while working toward achieving your goals is the best way to make your dreams come true.
Let me know what your dreams are!
Let’s keep our goals and resolutions together!
Blessings,
Karen Lindwall-Bourg

What’s real?
What’s not real?
It’s March 2020 and in these uncertain times, I don’t know about you, but I am finding it hard to decipher if what I’m hearing and seeing is real or not real.
Will the Real Road Runner Please Stand Up?
Every year around this season, and around certain hours of the day, one of the road runners from our farm sees his reflection in the window on the west side of the house very clearly. He’s absolutely gorgeous! And I watch him seem to lose weight and waste away because he is intent for days on end to offer this other roadrunner/his reflection, wormy and buggy treats instead of eating them himself! He dances and he preens and he jumps up and down on the window sill and he picks at the window to no avail!
I don’t know about the intelligence quotient of road runners, but I’m amazed that he doesn’t eventually learn that the beautiful friend in the window is not real!
What is Real? What is Counterfeit?
In these uncertain times, what’s real?
What can we depend on?
What’s real? What’s not real? In March 2020 – these uncertain times.
What is Real? GOD IS REAL!
We can depend on Him, we can and should cry out to Him, we can and should trust Him!
2 Corinthians 1:10-11
10 He has rescued us from terrifying encounters with death. And now we fasten our hopes on him to continue to deliver us from death yet again, 11 as you labor together with us through prayer. Because there are so many interceding for us, our deliverance will cause even more people to give thanks to God. What a gracious gift of mercy surrounds us because of your prayers!

He Rescues Us..
He Delivers Us.
He is our HOPE!
We are reminded to pray!
What’s real? What’s not real? In March 2020 – these uncertain times.
What is Real? GOD’s BLESSINGS ARE REAL!
Every new day and every new breath God offers us is real! And we should use each day and each breath wisely. Are we concerned? Yes, and we should be.
I remember one of our sons at about age 13 seriously expressing to me that he was not sure whether God wanted him to live a married life or a single life! It was something that really concerned him. I had to say to him that I didn’t know whether God wanted him to live a single life or a married life either, but what I did know was God wanted him to live today and each new day in ways that bring God glory and honor.
“Even in these trying times, we should go about doing and being what God wants us to do and be today, each day!”
– Dr. Karen Lindwall-Bourg
What’s real? What’s not real? In March 2020 – these uncertain times.

Happy New Year!
“True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Speaking of new things:
Are you doing what I’m doing as you build your business?
Are you grateful this New Year for a chance to begin again, plan ahead, reach new heights, and think outside the box in your business as an entrepreneur?
Are you getting ready to launch new services and products?
Creation
I’ve been reading through the Bible in a chronological order (one of my many resolves for the New Year!). I’ve been reading about Creation and several things have struck me that I think apply to us as we design new programs and products in our organizations.
God created the world in six days. I never thought of it this way, but my ESV Bible commentary points out that the creation progressed over triads of days:
ONE
o Day 1 God created light (v.3) and
o Day 4 God created the greater light (sun), lesser light (moon), and stars (v.14)
TWO
o Day 2 God created Heaven – separated the water of the sky and the water of the seas (v.6) and
o Day 5 God crated living creatures above the earth (fowl) and in the sea (fish) (v.21)
THREE
o Day 3 God created the land (Earth) & vegetation, Seas, vegetation (v9-11)
o Day 6 God created the beasts (animals) of the earth, and man in His likeness with dominions and a command to be fruitful and multiply (v.24-30)
“Six Days of Creation”
Use the Lord’s 5-point pattern of design in and build your business for success for the new year!
First God gave the earth form by separating the light of day from the darkness of night, the sea below from the clouds above, and the dry land with vegetation from the sea.
Second He filled these realms.
Heavenly Design Patterns
There was a pattern He followed each “day”:
- an announcement “God said”;
- a command “Let there be”;
- a report “And it was so”;
- an evaluation “It was good”; and
- a chronological framework “The first day”.
How can we use this same pattern following the design of the Sovereign Lord in our own businesses?
How can you build your business the same way God would, the way He built your world?
Here are Five Inspired Steps toward Successful Entrepreneurship:
Entrepreneurial Design Patterns
1.MAKE A DECISION
– There was an announcement. “God said…” He created.
The Hebrew word for create is bara and one commentary I found said that this word is a word reserved for God’s creative activity alone. He created the universe out of nothing and He orders everything in a progressive manner.
Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
How should we respond?
Psalm 148:5 says “Let them praise the name of the Lord! For He commanded and they were created.”
I’m dependent on God, for He creates and sustains all that is by the power of His own being. I also must follow patterns and create and multiply spiritually and encourage others to do the same. Who has encouraged you? Are you creating programs and products to build your business that honor God and that benefit and encourage others?
2. ANNOUNCE THE DECISION
– There was a command. God said, “Let there be.”
Not only do we need to embrace and nurture our creativity; we need not worry about the details before we move forward. If you’re like me and you wait until everything is 100% prepared in your own mind before moving forward, there will not be a moving forward! Go ahead and take action throughout the whole process of creating. Take intentional action!
3.LAUNCH WITH CONFIDENCE
– There was a report. God said, “And it was so.”
Move forward believing that God led you to this design and that there are others who will benefit from it! Launch! Announce your new or renewed services and products!
4.TEST OR EVALUATE WITH TRUSTED AND APPROPRIATE CUSTOMERS
– There was an evaluation. God said, “It was good.”
Make appropriate changes as you go. Listen to the feedback you receive and make adjustments and add programs according to the needs expressed by your audience.
5.ADD TO YOUR CREATION
– There was a chronological framework. God said, “The first day.” Hear the implied next day(s)!
As each program succeeds, add new steps to it based on the needs of your audience. Build your business! Re-purpose the information gleaned in this new project in many different ways. Build upon it and create a marketable program, compile it into a book, and/or create a series of videos or audiobook from this creative foundation!
Do you need help jump-starting new designs this year?
Do you need help to build your business using this divine design?
I’m here to help! Reach out to me and we can discuss how you can reach new levels of success worth celebrating!

Karen Lindwall-Bourg

Anger is inevitable in the experience of life as a human and even as a Christian. Righteous anger is an emotion we know God Himself experiences in the Scriptures. As we are made in His image it stands to reason we will experience anger. It is a God given emotion. However, we don’t have to let anger control us. And we must exercise anger in healthy and appropriate ways. It is important to learn to communicate clearly and in a godly-honoring manner when angry.
Ephesians 4:26 reads, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,”
Consider Anger as an Alarm System
It helps to look at anger as a warning system. Feeling angry is neither good nor bad. It is a way of knowing something isn’t quite right. Think of the alarm system on your house. When the alarm is activated and the beeping starts it is to warn you something is out of place. The beeping itself is not the culprit – it is not the primary problem. You must investigate to find out the root of the problem. So it is with anger – it is an alarm, a secondary emotion to alert you that something else is happening that needs investigation.
The Key to Communication When You’re Angry
The key to accurate and godly communication when you’re angry is being able to get to the root feeling. When your two year olds sprints toward a busy street, your reaction may be anger but the underlying emotion is fear. When you are angry, follow these step to understand your anger.
- Know your triggers. It helps to know what makes you feel angry and what your body feels like when it is angry. This knowledge reminds you to stop and think before speaking or acting. Knowing your triggers helps you determine the next step.
- Ask questions. Take a moment to ask yourself and God to help you figure out how you feel. (Jeremiah 33:3 reads, “Call to me and I will answer you,and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”) Some of those questions could be:
- Do I feel afraid?
- Do I feel disrespected?
- Am I disappointed? Discouraged?
- Am I tired or hungry?
- Do I feel ignored?
3. Once understood, courageously and wisely communicate regarding the underlying feeling instead of in anger. You can make personal feeling statements that reflect those feelings. For example:
- I feel angry and disrespected when you don’t respond to me when we’re talking.
- It makes me feel afraid when you don’t call to tell me you will be late because I worry about your safety.
- I am tired and it makes me more impatient; let’s talk about this after I rest.
WHAT STEPS DO YOU TAKE BEFORE COMMUNICATING WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY?
It may take some practice and a little bit of trial and error to learn how to communicate appropriately when you are angry. However, the more often you practice it, the easier it will become. The ability to say what you need to say when you are angry is a skill that will positively impact every relationship in your life, from work to clients, from toddlers to teens to spouses. You don’t have to suppress your angry feelings. You can learn how to say what you mean in constructive and healthy ways.

Discouragement is not having courage.
Courage is not just about bravery or being fearless.
Brene Brown writes about courage being the conversation that comes from our heart. She says,
“Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor – the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant “To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences — good and bad. Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as “ordinary courage.”
Given the Latin root and the earliest definition of courage meaning to speak your mind be speaking from your heart, discouragement would be a stifling of that speech. Discouragement is not just about your mood it is a condition of your heart.
All of our heart matters should be taken straight to our Father God the keeper, healer and protector of our hearts. The following verses are for strengthening your heart in times of discouragement.
When Discouraged – Wait for the Lord
“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” Psalm 27:14
This is such a beautiful verse, especially in times when courage seems out of reach. Wait, take some time with Lord, wait for His direction. In the waiting, you receive strength and courage takes up your heart. It’s okay to wait and pray when discouragement is on you.
When Discouraged – Press On
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3: 13-14
I know when I deal with discouragement, I have a tendency to look at the failings of my past. I get mired in the “coulda, shoulda, woulda” and forget about the now. Focus on the things before you, as in right now, and remind yourself of purpose of it all. The purpose is always Christ. It is always the Kingdom of God. So let go of the past and move forward with courage and assurance that your heavenly Father will not forsake you.
When Discouraged – You are NOT Destroyed
“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;…” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Never have I met someone who hasn’t experienced nearly every hardship outlined in this verse. The key to all of it is understanding we are not destroyed. You may feel beat up by life circumstances, but you are NOT crushed. You are NOT desperate. You are NOT forsaken. You are NOT destroyed.
When Discouraged – Walk by Faith
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
You can’t always depend on what you see or feel as a barometer of where and how God is working in your life. We may be afflicted and perplexed and persecuted and struck down but GOD is working. Draw on your faith reserves. God is in love with you. He has overcome the world. He is working on your behalf whether you see it or not. Ask Him, He’ll show you.
When Discouraged – Do Not Grow Weary
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
Everyone has times when they want to give up. Don’t. I know, easier said than done! Trust in the Word of the Lord, you will reap. Keep on keeping on and you will see the benefits of your good efforts come to pass.
When Discouraged – HE Will Deliver You
“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.“ Psalm 34:17-19
This verse covers all the possible sources of discouragement and for each reminds you of the rescue available and provided by our Lord. He hears you when you cry out. He delivers you from your troubles. He heals broken hearts. He raises up the crushed in spirit. He lifts you out of everything which brings you down. He is your strength and courage.
When your heart is discouraged and you don’t feel you can tell your heart’s story, call on the Lord. Let your heart be encouraged by the promises of the Lord to rescue you, heal you and never leave you in despair.
When Discouraged – Please share any other verses you use to encourage your heart.
With most of the article written I found myself stuck and in dire need of a good opener. I was completely frustrated and discouraged. Finally, I reached to my husband to help me write it and then it hit me. Somewhat ironically, this demonstrated one of the simplest ways to get over discouragement. Since discouragement can be a fixation on one thought pattern, or problem or situation, reaching out for help, even in the smallest way, can help you break the pattern and set your mind and actions in a healthier direction!
