~Until
God opens the next door, praise Him in the hallway~

on Facebook today. Go look at their beautiful Christian tees for
ladies!
I want this to be my first thought when....life happens.
How was your day today?
I had some great places
and a
few horrible spaces
but it ended up very good.
I was at New
Community at Central and Pastor Mike
(http://mikemccrary.blogspot.com) had us doing group discussions on 2
Peter 1:3-9.
I love how Peter gives us positive things we can do that
will help us grow:
'5 Do
your best to improve your faith. You can do this by adding goodness,
understanding, 6 self-control,
patience, devotion to God, 7 concern
for others, and love. 8 If
you keep growing in this way, it will show that what you know about
our Lord Jesus Christ has made your lives useful and meaningful.
'
So by adding
goodness,
understanding,
self-control,
patience,
devotion to God,
concern for others
and love -
I grow as a
Christian and as a real person.
These are all choices that I can make in any moment that
happens in my day.
It is not some magical, ethereal experience that is out
there on some higher spiritual plain but real nitty-gritty this is
where the rubber hits the road kind of stuff.
The kind of stuff I can put my teeth into, grab on and
run with. The kind of stuff that makes my real life and every
relationship I have better.
I like this.
