When Your Best Isn’t Enough

by B.C. Raines on 03/11/20

Have you ever been in a situation when it felt like your best just wasn’t enough? I mean you have sacrificed in ways where you really have didn’t have any more to give but you gave anyway--only to have your best not appreciated, ignored or thrown in your face. Yeah, I’ve been there, too. It makes you feel some kinda of way, doesn’t it?

Well Sister, it was STILL your best! It was the best you could do. It was the best decision based on the information that you had at the time. It was YOUR best even if no one else appreciated it, understood it or even noticed it. Someone else’s assessment of the situation doesn’t make it the truth; it’s just their opinion. Be careful not to allow someone else’s opinion outweigh your experience. Take pride in knowing that it was your very best.

Spring Forward

by B.C. Raines on 03/04/20

As our clocks move forward this weekend, it reminds me that a new season is on the way. With that in mind, I encourage you to also spring forward in this season of your life. 

Were there any dreams considered during the fall and winter seasons? What idea did you ponder during these seasons?  Any business or personal goals that you’d like to reach this year? Spring is a perfect time to move forward and pursue any, if not all, of these new adventures.

Think about it…Spring is the season of new beginnings. During this season we see the return of green grass, flowers blooming, trees budding and for many, it is the return of the sun’s bright rays after the gloomy and dark skies of winter. It is also the prelude to the long awaited sunny and fun-filled days of summer.  

So, spring forward. It’s your season to move into new beginnings.

Seek and Find

by B.C. Raines on 02/26/20

Are you aware that what you look for is exactly what you will find? For example, if you are always focused on what you don’t have, that’s all you’ll ever see…what you don’t have. You’ll possibly misuse and not even appreciate what you do have.

If you can’t see (imagine) how something will work, then it won’t. You’ll even miss the opportunities to make it work and the miracles in your life.

If you only see that you’re alone in life, then you won’t even notice the people who are with you, who care for you, about you; those who sacrifice for you. You’ll most likely also mistreat these very same people.

What are you seeking? Be careful, you just may find it!

Live Now: Take 2

by B.C. Raines on 02/20/20

I posted something similar to this back in October 2019 but I have to post this inspiration again. In the past six months, I will have attended three memorial services for three young adults: two who were not yet 40 years old and one who did not reach 50. Sisters, PLEASE live now! Encourage your loved ones to live now!

Life as we know it can change or end abruptly with little or no notice…Live now!

  • Love on your family…now!
  • Tell them you love them…now!
  • Show them you love them…now!
  • Enjoy life…now!
  • Pursue your dreams…now!
  • Give…now!
  • Forgive…now!
  • Encourage someone else…now!
  • Live…now!

Love You

by B.C. Raines on 02/13/20

Sisters, you know as women, we nurture and take really good care of everyone; everyone, that is, except ourselves. We generally pour so much into everyone else around us that we have absolutely nothing left to give to ourselves. Today’s post is just a simple reminder: be intentional about loving you. Make it a priority. Be creative with how you love you. Schedule it. No one can love you better than you can love you. 

Always RememberSister U Matter!®
