This morning I had such a privilege to share a cup of coffee and great conversation with my cousin Pat Chappell in one of the most peaceful, sweetest back porches. i love the times I get to begin my days in one of my favorite places. Back Porches.I am reading a devotion by Christine Caine, emails as well from her site. She is the founder of the A21 Campaign which deals with human trafficking. Below is her daily devotion and this vacation/journey to the Northern part of the US and Canada is just that for us. A time of refreshment, nourishing the soul and a time to look at some doors that may need to close while new ones continue to open. What if we thought outside of the box like Christine shared below?

"What if we actually lived the radical life of faith we hear about every Sunday?
Imagine if we lived according to what we profess to believe.
Imagine the conversations we would finally have, the acts of kindness that we would do, the inconveniences that we would endure, the places we would go, the money that we would give, the serving that we would commit to, the forgiveness we would extend, the words of affirmation we would offer, the prayers we would pray, the offences we would forgo and the people we would reach!

First Corinthians 2:5 says … your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God (NKJV).
Imagine. Great things happen when we activate our faith and trust in Him!"
