Lifting the Spirits of the Lyft Drivers ~ Marie (Texas)
I was in Atlanta recently and it was my first time using Lyft (a car ride service offered by individuals). I took Lyft 2 times a day (to and from my conference) and I made small talk with each person. I don’t know if Lyft trains drivers to be open to conversation, but they were…
Read MoreInspiration from the Be Jesus Conference ~ by Kiel and Brooklynne Fogle
We originally signed up to serve at the Be Jesus Conference as greeters, but ended up getting to attend every session. The idea of being the hands, voice, and feet of Jesus was very appealing to us as fellow believers who’ve never publicly gone out with the sole purpose of highlighting a stranger with God’s…
Read MoreGod is Passionate About You ~ by Julie Earl

Romans 16:19 The day our TV stopped working twenty-two years ago was one of the most important days in our family’s history. I had asked my husband, Ron, if we could get rid of the TV because I was putting my two young children to bed at 7:00 p.m. and watching TV until 10:00 p.m. – wasting…

Romans 16:1-2 I just returned from a wonderful Christian conference where they worked hard to serve and bless all those who attended, but I noticed that some of the volunteers (and many of the guests themselves) treated the guest speakers with more honor and respect than everyone else. I wasn’t speaking, so I was part of “everyone…

Romans 15:23-24 As a Christian, planning and transition can be hard because you want to honor God and do his will, and make the best decision for your life. Romans 15:23-24 says, “But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years…

Romans 15:13 Trust is a word that doesn’t always bring positive emotions because trust requires putting yourself in a position where you have the chance of getting hurt. Trust is difficult because it is the act of giving up control and surrendering it to someone else. Trust is vital, though, in learning how to walk in truth and to become free…
