It is sometimes easier to trust a man who you can see more than trusting the God whom you cannot see. If anything goes wrong with the man you see, you can hold him accountable. But with God, holding him accountable for your demise would be futile. Who do you want to call to the table of judgement than the same God who is the judge of all? But God is trustworthy. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will never let you down when everybody deserts you. When nobody can see the logic reasoning behind those difficult moments, God is there holding your hands up telling you that all shall be well.
Nobody needed to tell Abraham that he was treading on a dangerous zone before he bundled his son up to the mountain as a sacrifice to his one true love – God. Yet Abraham chose to trust God and obeyed. When asked where the animal for the sacrifice was, he simply replied, God, will provide. Had he not known the voice of his God and had he not been clear about his instruction, sacrificing his only son to God without any supernatural intervention would have been fatal. Abraham passed the test of his obedience and he reaped the reward.
The children of Israel had every opportunity to distrust God and to surrender to their captors but facing the red sea and fearing their captors on horses, they chose to trust God at a very difficult moment. They cried out to God and He delivered them miraculously from their enemies. When you look to the right and to the left but help is not forthcoming, your natural inclination may be to take matters in your own hands and to lean on your own understanding, trust God completely at that moment. Trust Him to come through for you. Do your best and leave the rest to Him.
I learnt a really good lesson from recent life experiences. It is to trust in the Lord with all my heart. I had prayed earnestly to God for help to start a project and He had provided the resources needed but somehow along the way, I hit a roadblock, I let go of God’s hands, I forgot the God who helped me to start the project and who was the driving force behind it all and I began to lean on my understanding. The moment I started to leaned on my own understanding, the project went pear-shaped. Instead of praying about the difficulties I experienced, I allowed my natural senses to kick in and things went bad really quickly. That project was eventually put on hold.
It may be difficult to trust in God when you’ve just lost a spouse or when you’ve lost your means of livelihood. It may be difficult to trust in God when you’ve been waiting on God for so long for a miracle. But the truth is that it is better to trust in God than to worry and miss it all in a hurry. Telling you to trust in God when things have gone sour or when life is bad may sound like kicking you down. But this is the best thing you need to do to get your desired result. Rather than fighting or fleeing for survival, trust in God. Trusting Him wholeheartedly and you will reap the reward.
The following declarations could be of much help to you in trusting God completely when in difficult situations and circumstances. Speak the Word of God Over Yourself and Change Your World for the best.
I declare that I will trust in God’s unfailing love at difficult times. I will not allow my heart to be troubled but I will rest in His love and my heart will rejoice in His salvation (Psalm 13:5).
I declare that my trust is in the name of the Lord. He will answer me with great strength in time of trouble and He will keep me safe. As I walk in righteousness, He seals me with His mighty name and He rescues me from the hands of those who are too strong for me (Psalm 20:7, Proverbs 18:10, 2 Timothy 2:19).
Father God, I bless you for my relationships and everybody who is connected to me one way or the other. I thank you for ordering their steps and directing their paths into my life. Father God, I just pray that you will release your blessings over their lives.

In some ways it's hard to believe that today is the last day of 2014. In other ways, I feel like we should be ringing in 2016 tonight! The days are slow. The waiting is hard. The transitions are daunting. But through every minute of every day, we know that God is faithful and we have peace that we are following in what He has for us.
Since 2010 I've been in a constant state of uncertainty, transition, and/or change. Jason and I began dating toward the end of 2010, then I graduated from college and had to find a job in 2011. In 2012 we got engaged and then married. In 2013 we bought our first home and began the adoption process. When we began 2014, I thought that it would be my first year in a while without the craziness, but in some ways, I think 2014 was the biggest year yet.
Jason and I both began new jobs which were big career moves for both of us. We also completed our home study, submitted our dossier, and got on the waiting list for our adoption, and of course we added our precious pup Swanson to our family. Throughout this year God has taught me more about His heart for people than ever before. I hope and pray that this year has produced a more loving, compassionate couple both toward each other and the people the we encounter every day.
Tonight the ball will drop, the new year will ring in, and we'll all celebrate a fresh start. In some ways I'm very much looking forward to the newness, but in other ways I am okay with just staying right here. I know where here is. I know what here feels like. I don't know what 2015 has in store, and in many ways I know that what lays ahead could be more painful than anything we've ever experienced. But I remind myself that I am the clay, and I have the most loving Potter.
In the spirit of fresh starts, I've come up with a list of things I want to do or do more in 2015.
What do you want to do this year? Where do you want to be 365 days from now?
I pray that the Lord grants me another year of life to achieve these things, for my good and His glory!

What Do You Think of This Cold Call Voice Mail?
Some of my best examples of what NOT to say in my Smart Calling training programs are from recordings of calls I have received. I’m sharing one with you today of a cold call voice mail message and would like your comments. Next week I will give my recommendations as to what this guy should do.
I have received this same, exact cold call voice mail, from the same person, no fewer than 10 times over the past six months. After a while I thought it might be a recording, but he changed his ending to “Have a happy new year” on New Year’s Eve when he left it.
At the company’s site (which has minimal info) I can tell they are a temporary help staffing company.
I have not yet spoken to the rep live.
Please listen to the call, then leave your comments below.
Speaks too fast / he wants to “take a moment of your time”! / no benefit statement / nothing to tell you what he is offering / I hope I am better!!!!!!!!
Already assuming that the victim wants to meet with them. Big deal that the VP wants to meet by phone.
I’ve left voicemails similar to this in the past, and of course it didn’t work out well for me(no call backs). To the customer I bet it sounds like just another telemarketor trying to sell them something, and probably wondering why they should schedule a meeting with his company’s Vice President? I feel there needs to have some value or objection statement that would benifit the customer, that’s something I myself have been trying to get better at.
He doesn’t say how he can help you. There is no reason to call him back.
No one is ever a complete failure. They can always serve as a horrible example.
Very good Greg, I like your positive mental attitude. Your statement is true and also funny.
When our phone rings, two thoughts immediately pop in our heads: 1) who’s THAT? 2) what do THEY want? Same with listening to a voice mail message: 1) Who and 2) What. This cold-caller started out decently in my book. He answered WHO, and WHAT. If he’d only add WHY, (and make it a good one)… he just might pique interest, maybe. For me (real estate agent), I don’t leave voice mail messages when cold calling. I call the next number in that space. But, hey, some sales professionals say if you don’t leave a message, you’re guaranteed not to get a call back. Oh well.
He makes it seem as if the title of VP is supposed to instill shock and awe in you, the listener. Why on earth would it? This guy has a smooth and pleasant voice, although we have no clue what his real name is, what company he represents, what they do, or why you should want to talk to him. His talents would be better served as a voice over talent for a commercial targeted to women ages 40 -55.
I had to smile, Kevin Scott, at your comment about no message guarantees no call back. I’m sure that’s true for most calls to businesses, but calling individuals, sometimes no message is way better than any message you could leave. People just want to find out who called. Of course, once they find out, they’re just as not interested as if they had answered the phone in the first place.
– gives no reason for me to call back.
– is evidence of an email blast type of message directed to everyone and anyone. Why is this of interest to me?
How does he know when the more convenient time is going to be?!?
Art, when you are telemarketing, how many times should you try to get hold of someone? I usually reckon 3 times and leaving a message on the first and last calls. What do you suggest?
So the V.P. is too high and mighty to call himself to make a connection +establish a need or offer a benefit?
Hi, very ugly, empty and no benefit, good example of don’t do that.
gives no benefit for me to call back.,,,,WIFM?
Our Sales staff has been meeting regularly to develop better voicemail messages, script, answers to objections/questions, closing techniques, etc., most often using Art’s guidance (as well as a few other notables). Having just finished with voicemail messages, one of the main things left out here is any Potential Value Proposition – as others have said, there is nothing there to pique interest for a call back. Clearly there has been little to no research or social engineering. This is evidently a “scattergun” approach, which is almost unfathomable on a B2B call with all the available resources on the internet these days. As someone mentioned earlier, he did a very of the most basic things right, but goofed the most critical areas. I’ll look forward to seeing what you have to say, Art.
You’re on to it Drew. I’ll be touching on all of that.
He sounded like he couldn’t wait to get off the phone. He is just going through names on a list and if you had taken the call the generalities would have continued. In fact, I’ll bet he would never have given you a specific reason for his call that you would consider worthy of you time. How do I knw this? I once worked for a company like that and couldn’t wait to leave. It was frustrating to finally get someone to talk to but be restrained from going into any specifics.
Gee, so glad you called. I was just sitting here waiting to talk to your VP. ; ) Yeah, right!
By the way, if the jerk wants to talk to me, why didn’t he call himself instead of sending his flunky to make the call?
No compelling reason to return the call unless unbearably curious. Who does he represent and why should you care about talking to his VP? Neither is answered.
My guess is that this person works for a third party call center that the original company has contracted to create leads. I’ve tried using this kind of service in the past with minimal results. The idea is enticing, you are basically paying someone to do all of the dirty work of cold calling, and when they get someone with a pulse they transfer that person to your sales team. I guess if it worked we’d all do it.
Wow. I don’t think he could sound more robotic and scripted. Not only scripted, but a script with no value or interest. And if it’s the same message over and over again…sheesh! Poor guy needs some help!
I listen to every telemarketer that calls my house…to take notes just like for this one.
SOOOOO much bad telemarketing going on…makes telemarketing for the pros even more interesting when my call is the one right after this one…the person I’m calling is turned off to phone sales before I even dial.
I’m not the best telemarketer in the world…just the best I’ve ever seen or heard. I love the phone, a great well written script including the schedules ummms and stutters…and them bammo the pro comes out when I have the right person who has said this is not a bad time, given me permission to ask a couple questions and let me try and generate some curiosity.
be a Pro. Practice like a Pro. Call with a Pro level script. Pick up the phone and start dialing. Get in grove and call till you get tired of having great conversations with people who just got pissed off at the last person who rang their line.
2 greetings (Hello, Good Morning) no need. He sounds robotic, people respond to emotion and texture in voices, no hook or benefit statement that gives them a reason to call back. He only leaves his name and number once. Obviously just reading a script.

Aight, so boom. One day I’m at the nail salon getting my usual nexgen nails. Same color every time. The last time this new nail tech did my nails I felt like she didn’t make them thin enough around the cuticle. It’s a very minor detail, but it irked me for two weeks. This time, I noticed she was doing it again. I was like, chill Kaish, it’s not a big deal. Don’t be difficult. Just let the nice lady finish. You can live with it. So, I tried to let it go. But I couldn’t. Something inside of me was like, but why should you have to live with it? You are paying for a service. It should be done exactly the way you want it done. And I was like, you’re right. It should! So, I told her how I wanted it done and, like magic, she did what I asked.
I don’t know when or for what reason I became Agreeable Abigail, but it has gotten me in a world of trouble over the years and I’m here to tell you that I’m letting that ish go. I’ve been very accommodating to others, and it has caused me tons of heartache, headaches, and time wasted.
I read somewhere that you’d be surprised what people are willing to give you if you have the gall to ask. Think about your difficult friends. Are they annoying sometimes? Yes. But do they walk around feeling unfulfilled because they’ve settled for less than what they wanted? No.
They get the best rates on everything. They demand the best service (and usually get it). Why? Because they have high expectations and allow others to rise to them instead of revelling in mediocrity. These are the people who get the best out of life and who bring out the best in you.
When we have high expectations of others, it usually stems from the high expectations we have of ourselves. If we let others slip, slide, and half step, we probably let ourselves do the same. Your level of expectation is a direct reflection of who you think you are. As I continue to push past my own perceived limits, and demand excellence from myself, I am doing the same for the people in my life. From my friends and family all the way to my nail tech.
Now, I wish I didn’t have to, but I must say this: Do not be the person who has impossible standards for others while you slum it up and free load your way through life. Step one of this process is expecting more from yourself. Something else I wish I didn’t have to say: don’t be an a–hole. You can 100% be direct and assertive with high expectations AND treat people with dignity and respect. Do unto others, my friend.
I’ve hit a new chapter in my life and have been actively and intentionally leveling up. This is reflected in my new tag: I believe I can have it all. And I do believe it wholeheartedly. Not all that others expect of me. But ALL that God has for me. ALL that my mind can imagine. But I know that it doesn’t come without sacrifice and without discipline and consistency. And since I’m coming for ALL that’s mine, I know that I have to put my all into it.
I challenge you, just like I challenge myself. If you believe you can have it all, please close the chapter of your life where you accept anything less than what you deserve. Let go of passively floating through life and trying to make a meal out of whatever crumbs are thrown your way and get you a steak. With lobster. Instead of always taking the L to spare others, be that loyal and thoughtful to yourself. If it causes friction to get what you want, then rub a dub dub, friend. GO. GET. YOUR. LIFE. Be passionate. Be present. Be a dreamer. Be a doer. Be difficult.
I was sitting at the nail salon and was literally contemplating on if I should walk out with messed up nail polish. And the answer was nope I’m paying for this.
Exactly! They’re not doing you a favor!
