In the book of Phillipians 4:10-13, Paul utters theses words. I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. I have often always used only part of this scripture to apply to my life. I used to use all the time that, I can do all things through Christ. However, this scripture is layered with different meanings. What Paul was saying, was regardless of the situation that he was fulfilled or felt at ease in any situation. With those feelings of being at peace, he was able to perform all things that was set before him. When I hear this scripture it is always used in the context of the things we do. This scripture is more than the things we do in life. This scripture also applies to the things that are done to us, problems and circumstances beyond our control. God gives us an advantage if we allow him to handle all of the events in our lives. He has that power. God that has the ability to control storms Mark 4:39-40. God also has the ability to establish and to create Genesis 1. Be encourage today that you can do all things through Christ.

If you do the same thing over and over again you will get the same results.  Even if you make the method faster, more efficient, and streamline, you will still get same results. The end results will be the same result but it happens faster, more efficient and streamlined.  What bothers me is the lack [...]

It was cold. That is the only concern I could think of as I decided to take my daughter sledding for the first time. It is astonishing that  when you become a parent  you realize that life is certainly not about you it about your children. It was a Sataurday afternoon  cold, wet, and slick, [...]
