Reading:
James 1:3-5 (Msg) You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it.

The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren,
“Don’t wait to feel powerful or confident. Move ahead in your weakness, doing the right thing in spite of your fears and feelings. This is how you cooperate with the Holy Spirit and it is how your character develops.” (p175)
I thank the Lord I read this article in studylight. This helps us to build and re-evaluate how we have been living our lives. Living in DC Metro area has interrupted our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. With power of Holy Spirit, I pray that this weekend for Men retreat will change us men. Here is the article I suggest read I thought was applicable.

Love this part.. It's where many of us failed to do. We fail to show that God is mighty and we are weak! We fail to show that God is the greatest and we are the least among the rest in the world.
Oh, Holy Spirit, come! Come upon us this weekend!
I just love how Jesus keeps things so SIMPLE!
When he was asked what the greatest command was, Jesus did not even blink - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12)
Is it really that SIMPLE?
Seriously?
I can do that, right?
Sometimes we make things far more complicated that they were ever meant to be. Think about all the books and magazines and research about how to be healthy. And yet we continue to have poor health. But if complexity creates confusion, simplicity brings success.
I pray that this month would be a return to the Simple Life. Keep it simple. Do the little things every day that lead to a life that matters!
