We use those! They are such a God-send! I made a set for their personal responsibilities before breakfast and a set for chores for later in the day. They got to the point where they didn't even need the packs. I need to introduce them to the new weekly chores packs so I am going to show my boys the video for a little bit of refreshed inspiration. ;)

That's awesome news! I'll be praying for all you guys.

I will definitely be praying for you guys. I can totally relate cuz we've been in transition, too. We know what's going on, though (mostly), we just aren't at liberty to say yet. But I understand what it's like. It feels so intense.

This is awesome. It's so easy to forget to be selfless since selfishness is so ingrained in us. I just have one thing to add: If you're embarrassed by your friend because you don't think he's cool enough, you're not being a friend you're being prideful.

Sometimes a heart issue is involved. For me I am very outgoing and I used to have a mindset (heart issue) that I was somebody special because I was a worship leader, so my interactions with the congregation turned into something that fed that pride. (See how the devil likes to defile everything?)

Then after I allowed God to start purging my heart issues, I saw that time of interacting with others as it's not about me. We have rehearsal & prayer just before service, so we aren't to leave the stage, but after church I'm one of the last to leave so I can talk to people. Those people who are making a bee-line for the door are often stopped by me "just wanting to say hello, how are you, give you a smile and wish you a great week," and by the time I leave for home i'm feeling on top of the world because I know that love spilled out of me and blessed someone. [For deeper connections I am involved in small groups, interact on FB, volunteer in other ministries, etc.]

I don't know if that helped anybody, but there you go. Ha! (hope that made sense, it's been a long day...)

Praise God! Have you noticed whether or not your memory has improved since doing this? (My thyroid gives me memory issues, and I'm even on medicine for it).

Wow! What a testimony! Praise God! :)
My recent post Day 31- Difference Between Thinking and Speaking to God

I really like your posts. Thank you!

Love it! He is our confidence. I put scriptures on index cards, too. :)

No pressure or anything! I've been slowly building relationships on twitter one by one rather than following hoards of people with little to no real connecting. I am wondering, however, if you would recommend one follow dozens or even hundreds at once?
