Last week, I had the pleasure of having lunch with a friend. She had recently returned from a year-long mission trip to Australia and Papua New Guinea. She loved the trip and God blessed her tremendously. However, things were tough.
This became apparent when we sat down, and she said, "Ice" enthusiastically.
I asked her, "You didn't have ice in New Guinea?"
"No." As a matter of fact, they had to filter their water daily--sometimes twice.
Talking about Conviction City! Major Call to Self: Shut you hon on the complaining!!
So, I have decided--and for sure, have asked God to help me--live in a State of Appreciation.
You may ask, "How's it Going?"
Well, I have a quick trigger to speak negatively when faced with adversity. After the initial reaction, I am doing better. But man, do I have a ways to go!
Thinking, praying, and living in a State of Appreciation for me would be comparable to a second grader.
I love that God gives us second chances! OK...4000 chances...and more!
I love that God challenges us!
I love that God is pulling for us to overcome!
I love that God is our biggest fan!
