I have been reading this book Crazy Love by Francis Chan and it is amazing. It has really made me think about what God wants me to be doing. He talks about people who give up everything for Christ and totally trust him for everything they need. So many of us worry about how we look, buy expensive clothes or things when we should be giving our money to help others. Most of us have more things then we will ever need or use. I know I have tons of clothes that I don't wear because they are to small or don't fit right ,yet they are still in my closet. We should be thinking of others and how we can help. Maybe our neighbors needs help with something - yard work, cleaning or groceries. Volunteering is another you can help. In the book Francis tells about his Church and how they give half of the income to charity , it is a true testimony for a church to do that. We should give not just what we can but give more, God will provide for us and bless us for doing this. So do something, start thinking about others who are less fortunate and in need. I am excited to see where God lead me and my family. I know he will provide for us, he always does. So ask yourself if you are doing all you can to live like God wants us to live, are we focused on him and not things of this world. Do we do more than just go to Church and participate in church activities? Read Crazy Love - it is a great reminder of what we are called to do - no excuses.
