Complacency....

"The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives."

~Francis Chan

How are you fighting complacency in your life today?? 

Thought for the day...

"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed.

          If you look within, you'll be depressed. 

       If you look at God you'll be at rest." 

— Corrie Ten Boom

Glorify....

Glorifying God involves demonstrating the greatness of God's character in every area of our life! 

~Dr. Nicholas Ellen

**John 17:3, Ephesians 3:14-20

Change...

Change is hard, but can take place, because God's commands assume God's enablement! 

~Randy Patten

**Philippians 1:6, 2:13, 4:13

True Ministry...

True ministry is not us getting the work done. It's the work getting done in us!! 

~Dr. Nicolas Ellen

How are you being changed in order to truly minister today? 

Your story....

"Just that maybe.....maybe you don't want to change the story, because you don't know what a different ending holds."

~Ann Voskamp: One Thousand Gifts

I have been amazed at the parallels betweens Ann Voskamp's story and the purpose of our upcoming Hidden Blessings series.

Our God creates beauty from pain and He is glorified in our weaknesses! 

Will you pray with me that the Hidden Blessings stories will encourage and challenge those walking through their own valleys?? I'm excited to see how He uses these posts starting NEXT MONDAY! 

Family....

"A Happy Family is but an earlier heaven" ~ John Bowring
