Just like the disciples saw a need to feed the crowd that came to hear Jesus preach, we see needs around us that seem insurmountable every day. I know I can tend to feel as if what I have to offer couldn’t possibly be enough to make a difference.

2 minute read. Yep 2.

We have to continue his dream – by Hailey Brown

In 2018 I will be sharing blogs that I read.  This blog is written by my dear friend Hailey Brown.  Her blog can be found at http://www.haileyknightbrown.com.  Hailey has spent her time studying and practicing what it means to abide in the Lord.  Abiding is a constant theme in her writing.  Whether she is sharing about her marriage, daughters, counselling, or her personal thought life, abiding is woven into the fabric of it all.  I hope you enjoy her most recent blog, We have to continue his dream.

I learned something pretty surprising. As much as I would love to say that I was living my life for the Lord so much of my day in day out living was full of choices influenced by the culture around me.
