God, help me to remember that I put You first over everything. No matter my struggles in life, I seek You first, praise You first and honor You first, whether it by the actions of my hands, the words of my mouth of the first of my storehouse.
When I feel under appreciated at work, You are there. When there is tension in my marriage, You are there. When I stress through my spirituality, You are there. And when I feel very undeserving of Your grace, You give it.
Why?
But I need to be part of the mission. So I have started giving something consistently, and trust that God will bless me for being a joyful giver. This is my journey towards giving 10%.

It's coming...
Celebration Generosity, part 2, comes to CCC this weekend. You don't want to miss it. Really, you don't. Be a part of a weekend of change (as opposed to a Tuesday in November of change). In coming up with this post, I wanted to find a cool pic that talked of generosity - I found 3. And I can't decide which I like best. So check them out:


Also, while hunting for pics, I found a blog called The Generosity Path. Seemed ok, so I added it to the blog roll on the right side. I'll keep looking at it to see what it says. It's not straight spiritual, but I liked a couple of the posts I read.

New look.
Kinda got tied of the old template, so I moved to this one. It's ok, but don't be surprised if I change it again. I'm fickle like that.
Talk at you tomorrow - I promise.

The Jesus mission - applied
Did you catch the NBC news this past Friday? If you didn't, here is what you missed: a church that takes everything that is placed in the donation bag and gives it to a person in need. The church is Waterfront Community Church in Schaumburg, IL, and I am proud to personally know some of the people that launched that church out of the NewThing network.
(Now, when I went to view that, I had to sit through a commercial for some "personal" medication - I hope you don't get the same. Talk about your bad placements!)
Anyway - you can view the second behind the scenes video here.
