Sit With That Tinakka Johnson

Sometimes it's hard to let people know how we're really doing because we think they are only asking to be nice.  It's easy to believe they don't really care to know, don't have time to listen.  What if we're honest and it gets awkward because they don't know what to say?  There are times when someone sincerely wants to know and we just don't want to tell them.  That is the place where things get tricky for me.

What is a blessing? Is it all about perspective. Here’s a few things I learned from a devotional and some time away.

You never know when something is going to happen to change your life.

So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision - you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it. Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. Philippians 3:15-18 MSG
