A Shift

...a change in emphasis, direction, or focus

...a move or cause to move from one place to another


Sometimes in life we all go through a transition, a move or a shift of something. It may be small as a relationship shift, a job change or quite possible life altering such as losing a family member or moving states. No matter the degree, the shift can be difficult for anyone. Maybe it's more emotionally draining than the actual, tangible change itself. Maybe it's going from what you know, to an unknown territory or path in life. Maybe it's a change in focus or passion. Maybe it's changing the focus from being self focused to being other's focused. Maybe it's a culture shift in how you choose to live because of someone or something else. 



That is exactly what happened to Jordan and I. Recently we have been challenged with a shift of our own. Through recent conversations over the past week with friends, along with Sunday teachings through our church, God has been using various avenues to stir up in us a desire to do something. 


With what God has given us, we want to be good stewards. We want to give what God has given us. 

We don't know what they may be exactly, but our prayer is that we would be aware of those around us and the needs. We want to be generous givers without hesitation; which is hard for us since we tend to be more frugal these days and just trying to save what we can. However, we desire to live biblically and give to those in need. We want to live with our hands open for God to use.

Praying the shift that God has us do will be Glorifying Him at all times. He knows our hearts. 

To Be more like Him,
joy
