“By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.”
Ephesians 3:7 NLT

Well, Christmas break is officially over and I’m wupped. Steph and I spent the last 18 days cleaning, deep cleaning, a house that has been filled with 4 adults, 4 kids, and two dogs for the last 18 months. We have gone room by room , wall by wall, floor by floor and cleaned, organized and removed stuff. We made great headway but still have more to do to get our house up for sale by March 1st. God is blessing us and it has been an honor to serve him by providing a place for my daughter and her family to live. But, we are starting to shift our thoughts. We are listening to God and the plans he has for us now and in the future. All we want to do is follow his will.
I love my Lord. He gives us the tools to do his work. He leads us, if we will act. He directs us, if we will listen. He will not force us to act. He will not force us to listen. It’s completely up to us. You know what? Maybe we should follow his lead. Maybe in our ministry we should concentrate on serving, setting examples, preaching his word, giving guidance out of love and then letting people make their own decisions. We are not directed to change people. We are charged with loving and serving others. It’s up to us to make sure we are focused on those two things. Then we let God do the rest.
