We are satisfied by our decent little life. We are pleased with our good habits; we take them for virtues. We are pleased with our little efforts; we take them for progress. We are proud of our activities; they make us think we are giving ourselves. We are impressed by our influence; we imagine that it will transform lives. We are are proud of what we give, though it hides what we withhold -- Michel Quoist
Navigating a life for Christ
I stumble ALOT.
My life verse is Psalms 37:23-24 "If the Lord delights in a man's way, He makes his steps firm. Though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
It helps to know God can use fools like me.

Priceless
This morning- Saturday morning - I opened my back door to let our little doggie out into our backyard. I noticed one of the men that I had prayed with last night sitting on the steps of the main house. This young man has been in Betel for about 4 months and while getting along and working hard, you could tell he was not buying this whole Jesus thing. He was just putting up with the songs, sermons and prayers. But last night he asked for prayer. And this morning when I looked again, I saw he was with one of the men's leaders, head bowed and they were praying again. This is the breaking point, where self no longer has it all figured out, plan B is a bust and they give over to a higher authority. This is the miracle. Absolutely priceless.
