Who and Whose You Are

Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead My people Israel out of Egypt.”  But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”  God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the One who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.” Exodus 3:10-12
 
For a number of years, I have tried to figure out what makes me tick. This is important as a person who manages others, for a wise person once said that the most difficult person to manage is yourself. I can

Invite God In

By: Mandi Greene
 
One of the most beautiful things about my little monster toddler’s snuggles is that they are so rare. Every night when I go in to put him to bed, there is a magical pocket of time after we’ve read a book and turned the lamp off where he snuggles up in my arms and lays there quietly with his head against my shoulder and listens to me pray.

I can’t keep up with people I should be able to keep up with. That’s when we

So often life gets away from us and we forget about His presence in our lives. Raising kids, taking care of our families, working, all these things keep us busy.

I have seen so much how the

Variable – For the Long Term

One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement. Though the bush was engulfed in flames, it didn’t burn up. “This is amazing,” Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up? I must go see it.”
 
When the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush,
