You guys, I am freaking out. I was sitting here trying to think of something to write about and my sweet two-year-old pulled up a chair next to me at the desk and asked, “That’s for Jesus?” “Yes!” I said through teary eyes. “You working for Him?” she continued. “Yes, I am.” How did she know what I was doing? She’s a bit spooky sometimes. Holy Ghost spooky of course.
I sit here most mornings trying to catch something He wants me to talk about and try not to put too much effort in since I‘m saved by grace by faith, not by works, but then enough effort in so that I can do all things as unto the Lord.

Yes, Lord.

Tell everyone what I did, and what I have for them. So that’s what I’ll do. I’ll do this and more for Jesus. I’ll work for Him, out of gratitude for His perfect shed blood, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the redeemed connection to the Father, and the promise of eternity.
