Inventory

Inventory

So the first Monday of the month (today) is the day that the Women’s Center places their inventory order. I looked high, I looked low, and there was no inventory record to be found.

After a few short Q & A sessions I discovered that no inventory record was done. Everyone was simply so busy that there was no time to get the inventory request together. There's just one small problem - without a record of the current inventory, we won’t know what to order – we won’t know what is needed.

I thought about that for a while and realized that in my own life there are times that I need to slow down and take inventory, personal inventory. I need to evaluate: where I am, what I am involved in and what I have stored (hung on to). This will help me to know: where I am going, what I am producing and what I need to get rid of.

Hmmm…


Holy Spirit,
Thanks for preaching me straight to my knees! You have a way of using the commonplace things in my life to keep me in line. You’re awesome!


Sincerely,
Liz

With GOD...

  This verse shows us a contrast between the human perspective and that which is visible to God. It is likely that this young ruler felt that he was good and saw himself as living a life of honor to God. Likely, he was respected by his community and enjoyed good relationships. He was, after all, in a leadership role that pointed people to God. Yet, God was able to see what he and others could not see hidden deep within his heart.  We should applaud this leader's courage. Not many would have approached Jesus to ask for such accountability. Whether this leader asked to receive kudos, or if he asked because he could sense he was missing something, when Jesus pointed out what he could do he left sorrowful. Perhaps his desire to protect and shield himself through his wealth was overwhelmingly important. Understandable, right? Whatever the case, this leader walked away in sorrow instead of surrender. Isn't it something how badly the truth can cause us to employ various defenses? We ...

'The Wrinkles on My Face' (Lizzie's short story)

Name: Lizzie Tegart Age: 10 years Grade: 5th Date: November 12, 2012   Wrinkles on My Face It’s a dark morning. The alarm clock wakes me up with its “beep, beep, beep, beep.” I pressed the snooze button but the beeping only stopped for a while. When it started up again, I wanted to throw my alarm clock out the window but I knew that I shouldn’t so I got up. “Burr”, I said out loud. The floor was freezing cold on my toes! I tried to feel around for my bunny slippers but found only one of them, so I put on the one that I found and hopped to the bathroom. When I got there I flipped on the light; the light was bright on my tired eyes. I squinted and looked around to see my other slipper sitting by the bathtub. “Oh good,” I thought “now both feet will be warm.” After I put my other slipper on I decided to brush my teeth. Still squinting, I opened the cabinet and felt around for my toothbrush. As I looked through half closed eyes for the tube I thought, “I hope the raspber...
