good readings for this morning's quiet time... thought i would share.
Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering because things are going hardly with me?
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
How much kindness have I shown Him this week? Have I been kind to His reputation with my life?
Am I so in love with Him that I take no account of where I go? or am I watching for the respect due to me; weighing how much service I ought to give?
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
this next part is a section from Tim's reading through the Bible for Luke chapter 9
Jesus always makes it clear that He is a Messiah that serves and He is a King that dies for His people. This is why Jesus was so open to the crowds. Jesus was not there to grab power, but to give it up. It changed the way he lives, and He told us frankly we were to live the same way. We were to take up our cross and not live for ourselves, but for God and others.

Thanks for sharing-- it spoke much truth to me this morning!! I know I'm convicted of these feelings often too. Also, I love that devotion book C; Lastly, SO excited to see you! Have a wonderful Friday, friend.
