God’s grace is at work in us, changing us into the image of Christ—and we can rest assured that God will continue this work until it is complete in glory.
Cee Harmon's insight:
Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward us as sinners. It is love and kindness that we don't deserve. It began in eternity past when He chose us in Christ to be adopted into the family of God (Eph. 1:4–5). By His grace, He awakens us from spiritual death and gives us new life. God’s grace is bigger, greater, deeper, and more amazing than many people realize.

Cee Harmon's insight:
Bishop Curry: "Love is the only way. There's power in love. Don't underestimate it. Don't even over sentimentalize it. There's power, power in love. If you don't believe me, think about a time when you first fell in love."
"The whole world seemed to center around you and your beloved. Well, there's power, power in love, not just in its romantic forms, but any form, any shape of love."

With both foster and adoptive situations, Bethany Christian Services strives to offer safe, loving Christian homes for kids by assessing prospective foster and/or adoptive families and seeing what their living situations are like.
Cee Harmon's insight:
Since Bethany’s goal is to reunite families and kids, they help provide “support and services to birth parents to make sure it’s safe for the kids to return and that process would involve the agency making recommendations and then, also, the court weighing in on whether or not the children are able to go home.”

Stressed at Christmas: Cut back on your schedule. You don’t have to attend every party or accept every invitation. Sit down with your December calendar and reserve some evenings for peace and quiet. (The secret words are: “I’m sorry; my schedule won’t allow it.”)
Cee Harmon's insight:
You can also set a spending cap for yourself, and covenant not to spend more than a certain amount for any one gift, no matter who it’s for.
Reduce your gift list. Even one less person can be a significant savings of time, money, and energy.

The loss of her high-paying career, her marriage and her father pushed Martha to a point of desperation where she cried out to God for help in both her spiritual and physical life.
Source: CBN | The 700 Club
Cee Harmon's insight:
Growing up, she was taller than most of the boys in school, which meant she got teased a lot. She let being called "Big Bertha" in school devastate her self-esteem for decades.
She thought in the back of her mind that she was unlovable. By the time she was in her early thirties, the bottom fell out of her life and marriage.

So you've noticed something. Your ability to lead well seems to fluctuate. Some days you're sharp, but on other days you're sluggish, fuzzy or so burdened down you feel like you can't lead anything well.
Cee Harmon's insight:
When you work at the mental aspect of leadership, you’ll discover what many leaders have discovered: changing your mind about how you lead, feel and think changes everything.
When it’s appropriate, the weight of leadership can spur you toward leading better. But when it crushes you, all of the benefits of feeling responsible for what you lead disappear.

How a residential program in Virginia goes beyond crisis pregnancy aid. Unlike a pregnancy clinic that only offers medical care, Carried To Full Term (CTFT) focuses on the entire well-being of the women who stay, many for up to two years.
What makes it unique is also what makes it a challenge for the women who live there: The home operates like a boot camp for moms.
Cee Harmon's insight:
Participants start the program by establishing objectives in six different CTFT categories that set the path toward independent living: spiritual goals, financial goals, employment goals, volunteering in the community, living skills, parenting skills, and health and mental well-being goals.

Cee Harmon's insight:
DOES A STRONGHOLD HAVE A STRONG HOLD ON YOU? Examples of strongholds: God could never forgive me (the stronghold of guilt). - I could never forgive that person (the stronghold of resentment).
Bad things always happen to me (the stronghold of self-pity). - I have to be in charge (the stronghold of pride). - I don’t deserve to be loved (the stronghold of rejection).
