Sometimes it’s difficult to stay on track. Things happen that throw us off our game. We can make plans to do something and have it all set to go, and then something happens to sidetrack us. We have to figure out a different plan of action. Yesterday, I was really trying to enjoy my little nephew’s birthday party, while dealing with some physical pain.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

It’s so easy to read things and just scroll by and not give them another thought, but sometimes, if you think on it, it opens up a whole new set of ideas and thoughts.
“SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS DEPENDING ON YOU TO DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO”.
Of course, many things could be taken from this quote, but what came to mind when I read this was how important it is for us to listen to God and His calling on our lives. Have we ever thought on how something we need to be doing for God could possibly affect someone else? If we do what God has called us to do, it will in turn, have an effect on not only us, but also others. When Read more…
