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.

What is Real? NACWE is real!

What is Real? Karen Bourg Companies is real!

At the risk of being cheesy, we are real; and we are here for you!

Fill out the form at https://KarenBourg.com/work_with_me  and tell me what you need and I’ll send you a link to make an appointment for a free consultation through the end of the month!

What’s real? What’s not real? In March 2020 – these uncertain times.

What is Real? OUR PRAYERS ARE REAL!

We are a group of prayer warriors! Let us know how we can pray for you and join us for prayer on Thursday mornings at 8 AM CST.

Join our Thursday Prayer Call

Matthew 26

40Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter. 41“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”…

By Phone via Free Conference Calling

All Thursday 8am CST Prayer Calls can be accessed by dialing 1-712-775-8968 / conference code 620259

What is Real? THE DESIRE TO BE WHOLE AND WELL IS REAL! 

The theme of our year is Entrepreneur Wellness!

The theme of March is Physical Wellness!

Next month in April we will talk about Emotional Wellness!

My favorite part of NACWE – a connected COMMUNITY!

The 1st Tuesday of each month, we will briefly introduce the theme of the month, then NETWORK – share who you are and what you do. Ask the NACWE Team and the group any questions you desire.

My other favorite part of NACWE – expert and experiential EDUCATIONal opportunities.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tuesdays of the month, we will hear from outside experts on the Theme of the Month!

The 5th Tuesdays of the month (or close to them) we will try to offer Virtual Conferences on topics you’ve requested!

Be real!

Be well!

We are here for you!


Blessings,
