You do appreciate that if you allow Him, the Lord WILL use you in His service… daily. It may not be dramatic nor ‘eventful’ according to your definitions, but I have discovered that opportunities are all around us. Scripture does teach us to do what’s at hand (read Exodus 4:2 to see what the Lord […]
Slipping, falling, scraping my knees, none of that is fun. But it happens. I’m not sure we can ever avoid the scrapes of life regardless of their origin. BUT we can learn from them. And our learning, understanding is crucial in not repeating. Part of what we need to do is not look at the
“The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be

Once you were saved, once you accepted Jesus as your Lord – this began the never ending adventure of discoveries… about yourself, about the Lord, about life, about – everything.
