Enough already! How long are you going to keep delaying your JOY?

God wants you to know that JOY is available even in your current reality no matter how blessed or burdensome it may be!

Whatever you do…don’t allow them or it to steal your joy!

@Joeybatz35 Excuse me @stephenasmith How do you KNOW it’s about the Eagles? Did you have a personal conversation with him? Did he admit it was about his team? Just admit your words were tactless and you’re completely wrong for those comments.

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

@stephenasmith If you personally know the seriousness of it, why would you make light of and suggest he only asserted mental health focus now that they’re losing. Your words were insensitive & unnecessary. Do better!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Great leadership is not emotional numbness, it is spiritual stability.

Feel the pain.
Process the disappointment.
Pray about the discouragement.

But don’t allow one moment to become your master!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

You cannot appeal to the conscience of a people, a president, a system that has none!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Pastoral maturity is learning to carry scars without turning them into weapons!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Some of the best days of your life have not happened yet… Don’t Give Up!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

A grateful heart never forgets a generous hand! 🙌🏾

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Sometimes growth looks less like getting more and more like needing less validation!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Don’t confuse being overlooked with being unqualified. Some of God’s best work happens in hidden places.

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Keep showing up. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t dramatic…it’s the subtle strength God gives that won’t let you quit!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Stop measuring your progress by somebody else’s pace. Your journey has its own grace!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

They have moved on and… so should you!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

You’re believing God for too much to be matching people’s negative energy. Bring the best version of yourself to every moment and watch God work!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

How many times are you going to reach into your bag of excuses?! You keep saying “one day” but that often turns into “no day.” Do it now because later may never come!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Sheesh…those Colorado helmets 🔥🔥🔥

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

If you’re not careful, unhealthy emotions will either REWRITE the facts or RECRUIT you into division… Get Well Soon!

[Darnell Hammock @PastorSmoke]

Pastor… you are doing much better than you think!
