Luke 9:26-40 Have you ever wanted to do something for Jesus? I mean really wanted to do it. You think about it all the time. You make plans for your life around the desire and then...nothing. This can be incredibly disheartening. Sometimes the word, no, can take the wind out of our sails. But, just because you are told no to one thing, does not mean that God does not love you or want to use you. Of course, He does. We simply must look for the go in the no. "Ok, if I am not to do this thing that I have been praying about and planning for, what is the thing I can do right now for Jesus? We will often find those to be not only simple but fruitful beyond earthly measure. So, what do we need to do? Stop whining about the stuff we can't do and be diligent about the things we must be doing at this moment.

Luke 8:19-25. This life can be deeply troubling. Fears, anxieties, hurt, abandonment, and loneliness can overtake us like a flood in an instant. Yet, some storms in this life seem to relentlessly pound on our faith for years, even decades, slowly eroding away at our hope. We get pushed down, but still we get up. Then we experience the same hurts again and again, hoping to make sense of the senseless chaos that is overwhelming our senses. Eventually we feel like getting back up is not worth the pain of another hit. As our faith is shaken to its foundation we cry out to God for deliverance from the cold darkness and confusion of difficult days, months or even years. Many of us have come to a place in life that we thought we hit rock bottom only to find we had further to go. Sometimes our loving Savior takes us to our rock bottom so we will know that He is the Rock at the bottom. Life can be hard, but God is aways good!

Do you need ti ask for forgiveness after you sin?

1 John 9

How did you get involved in missions?

When seeking unity is there a place where we should draw the line? What doctrinal issues should take precedence unity, if any?

How has your view of missions changed since you've been on the field and studying it?

How can we get connected with you, Michelle?

Revelation 2:18-29. It does seem appealing at times to just give up. Surrender to the current and start going with the flow and relax and stop trying to fight the overwhelming pressure of the flow. This is real though, right? The world we live can be pretty dark at times. People can be rude, and at times, down right mean to us and others. We seek refuge in the fellowship of believers because we would hope that people in the church would be loving and kind. But alas, we see Christians going the wrong way or doing the wrong things and many going with them. We must not be discouraged, afraid, or frustrated and we must hold fast and never give up. God knows what people are doing and when He comes to judge them we do not want to be anywhere near ground zero.
