There’s a Christian song by Sarah Reeves that I’ve heard on the radio lately, and it has me thinking. The chorus of the song, Just Want You, starts with these words, “I don’t want it if You’re not in it. I just want You.” As I sing the words, I stop and wonder, is that

We do a lot of things everyday from the mundane, day-to-day tasks like going to a store, driving our car, or checking our mail to the bigger and more time consuming things like going to work or spending time with our friends and family. And 1 Corinthians 16:14 offers a bold and somewhat challenging command: “Do
Finding where you fit in life isn’t always the easiest, smoothest, most comfortable feat. Often times, it takes time, and that’s ok. It’s ok if your first job isn’t your dream career, first church isn’t where God is calling you to serve, or first boyfriend isn’t who you want to marry. Understanding where God is
