Summary

As a follower of Christ, everything I do sends a message to those who are not followers of Christ! Do my actions, words, and deeds proclaim love and point people to Jesus? Or do my actions, words, and deeds point to myself? The world is watching 24/7! I pray that I make a conscious choice at the start of every day to realize there will be many opportunities to allow God to use my story, to use my trials, and to journey with others, if I will allow Him to set the pace and direct my agenda.
