This year, I want to grow in 4 ways:
1. That in praying for “EVERY Knee “ in the world to find the joy in bending to the love of Christ, I bow my own knees to God first! 2. That God enables me to see “EVERY Day” as He does-full of purpose! 3.That God would give me a fresh heart that actively loves & serves “EVERY Neighbor” & not just my own circle of people! 4. That God would help me die to self-centeredness & my heart would beat for “EVERY Nation”. I’m so grateful to serve @gracebible! Join us in growing in new ways and in asking God to do great things for His name! #everyknee #jesus #bible #god #vision #purpose #gracebiblechurch#gracebiblechurchsouthwood #gracebiblechurchcreekside THANK YOU @ryanntvrner for creating this powerful pictures!!

More than just breaking bread
This verse may be in every kitchen in America! Many know this verse. At least the “broke bread & ate together” part. I’m betting you’re like me-I sometimes read only part of a verse & miss the beauty of the entire verse. Look at the end of this verse-it tells us HOW they broke bread & ate. They were together “WITH GLAD & SINCERE HEARTS”. They were living in kindness & humility toward one another thereby saturating their mealtime with God-given love! This is the kind of potluck that refreshes God’s people. ❤️ #bookofActs#magnoliamarket #kitchen #art #fellowship #friendship #familymeal
How do you smile again?
This has been a full & just plain hard week. So many people suffering & exhaustion settling in for all. What to do? How do you find strength? How do you smile again? I think it’s two-fold: Hope in God & celebrate the people He’s given you. In the midst of the downpour, lean in to Him. When surrounded by chaos, hold your people close. Tragedies-personal & corporate -always refine us to remember what’s most important. Strangely, we can sense a new peace. Ironically, pain brings perspective. We remember what we were made for: God & people. #lovegod #lovepeople #hurricane#hurricaneharvey #tragedy #pain #perspective #truth
