Monday Morning Perspective

First, let me back up and say if you didn't get to be there for State of the Church like me, go listen to it online.  It's always good to get info from the top instead of 2nd, 3rd, or 4th hand.  It was awesome and Eddie and I are so excited about the privilege to serve at Millbrook at this time.  I know sometimes we only see what's going on in our specific group or area of service but we are fortunate to see the big picture of Millbrook and God is moving and working ALL OVER!!  People are visiting, sunday school classes from young to old are crowded, people are getting involved and inviting people...awesome time for our church.  He is blessing and we are blessed. Be encouraged and encourage others.
The Christian Wife was the message yesterday and thank you to my man for the day off.  He offered the opportunity to preach that one but I probably needed to hear it more than preach it so I appreciated the option this time, usually I don't get that haha.  Great sermon, very convicting, very challenging!!  It was applicable to us as wives but also just in our general relationships.  The statement Eddie made in closing to "do the unselfish thing, step outside of your own needs and stop thinking of how your spouse needs to change and find out how you need to change" is powerful and should be how we deal with all of our relationships.  It's way too easy to think about how others are acting in a wrong way or what's wrong with them but when we turn it on ourselves we find that there's plenty of work to do inside our own lives.
Happy Monday to all and speak a good positive word to someone today.
