I've always been a missionary and what people don't know is that I've always taken some strategic and eyebrow-raising steps.

Live for Him and live with purpose.

God sometimes takes us into troubles waters not to drown us, but to cleanse us.

Lack of prayer says you've brought into the lie that life is manageable and you've got everything under control

Believe the best about people. Pray for their short comings. You are not the standard. We all need grace.

I think everybody has a purpose. Everybody is made to be a picture of how good and glorious God is, and I think sometimes we'll get it confused and think because we mess up, we make mistakes or we have some blemishes in our record, that our purpose is somehow messed up. But actually that only serves to further paint a picture of how good God is when he uses people who are messed up just like me.

It's easier to be hedonistic and just chase after whatever appeals to your senses. That's the life of an animal, you just do. It's more difficult to stand by your convictions and have people berate you on both sides and feel like there's no home for you.
