"Remember, dear brother and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes or powerful, or wealthy when God called you." (I Cor. 1:26 NLT) Paul was talking to the people in the church in Corinth here, and I think it's a good reminder for us today to know that all of us are in the same boat when God calls us to do something. It reminded me that it is God's power that uses our broken lives, not our willpower to be important. Keep the thoughts coming! Love the transparency. Hey friends –

Keep the thoughts coming! Love the transparency.

A lot has come together for me through no other hand than His, but this is a great reminder that once I commit to God, He will commit to my future. He is the planner, I am the task force. Thanks for the awesome reminder in such a day-to-day world! :) Spending most of my life in a protected Christian bubble, it is easy to use rationalizations for life-planning because coincidences have to be God’s handiwork!
