First Slice

Hello friends!
Today I begin to post some of the thoughts that have been ongoing in me with Christ. I wanted to find a place that was neutral yet efficient to get the word out. Email often is invasive and then it becomes mundane. I get many forwards from others from whom I desire to get a real thought from. So I hesitated at using the email system and getting lost in it not knowing if anyone was really getting it. Here We can not only share with others but allow others to comment publicly on what is being read. which may stir into a deeper conversation in general. sometimes we slight our viewpoints and hold them back. Yet I believe that you see a part of the Lord that I need to come into.

With that in Mind I begin Bread For Today by encouraging you to not withhold yourself from others, for in doing so you rob us of the uniqueness that you are. God is not one to overdo as humans often will. All that he created has a place in His Kingdom, no one is what I call filler material. Soap companies do this to make boxes look bigger than they are. Hoping to get buyers to see a greater value. Also no one is an afterthought, you were planned in from before the foundations of the earth Chosen in Christ, His Son Jesus. Even as you are reading this, thoughts are forming within you, do not minimize these thoughts. If this blog can provoke you to think deeper into the beauty and freshness that is found daily in Him and stir you to release all that is Him within you then this blog has served its purpose.

God Bless you
