Thanks David for the challenge. I preach that, but don't wear it well. Even today seeking God was an after thought

David,
Thank you for this latest reminder that God's desire for my life is to learn how to "be" in relationship with Him. I've done "doing" pretty well over the years, with mostly impure motives. It is very, very hard to do the be!!! I really appreciate your devotion this morning. I pray that those who read it will understand your message. Bill has so much respect for you and your ability to communicate so well your heart for Jesus. Thank you for being Christ to my precious husband.

Keith, thanks for sharing your thoughts on your spring cleaning experience. Getting rid of unneeded stuff in our lives can be so freeing. My other thought as I read this was I find myself in my work and life more and more at the computer generating paperwork that is destined for the shredder (or the "Deleted" file on the computer). I need to figure how to get a better balance dealing with stuff that lasts - people in relationships that change all our lives as we share our faith journeys. Thanks again for sharing yours.

I received my first personal loan when I was 32 and this aided my business a lot. However, I require the short term loan once more time.

Comment on Car Wash for Ethiopia

What a great idea for a fundraiser. After the summer, cars need a good cleaning! And that Pizza Hut is offering lunch specials is also really great. Good of them to help bring clients to the carwash. I hope they have a great trip to Ethiopia!

Absolutely, Alyssa! Seeing God move through the Body of Christ in Ethiopia has encouraged me greatly. Christian community is where I tend to experience a fullness of God's power. Not a facade of community, but a community that is actually meeting the needs of each other (locally or abroad) and seeking the Lord's favor through acts of true service and sacrifice.

It reminds be a little bit of the conversation Habakkuk had with God. In his case, he was basically watching the "enemy" of his people come and do the cleansing work of that God had promised would come if the Israelites continued to ignore their part of the covenantal relationship they had with him. God uses all people and events to bring eventual glory to himself and good to his creation. It's interesting to me that we Christians find it so difficult to cooperate with him and care about what he cares about. Oh, but when we do, he lets us in on a little bit of heaven, doesn't he?

Great thoughts. Just because one is not called to personally go to Africa or any other 3rd world land that cries out for help does not absolve us from doing something about it. What are you doing to support those who work in those places? If you don't give money, then start with prayer. Lift the missioniaries, church relief organizations, and the local bodies up in prayer.

Comment on You Are International (Part II)

This really relates to the old adage "Give a person a fish and they are hungry tomorrow. Teach a person to fish and you feed them for a lifetime. It's one thing to give of our abundance to feed those less fortunate than us, and I believe that God calls all of us to do just that. But in order to achieve the true calling that God calls us in order to transform lives, we need to be actively teaching people how to fish, whether that be mentoring people to a new and different mindset, training them in new skill sets, or just encouraging them to overcome their self-limiting fears. Our financial abundance can only do so much. It's up to us to take it to the next level with our personal involvement.
