Joshua 1:9<\/strong><\/a> — from biblegateway.com<\/p>\n

9\u00a0<\/sup>Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;\u00a0do not be discouraged,\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord<\/span>\u00a0your God will be with you<\/span><\/strong> wherever you go.\u201d<\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nFor me, “being with you” isn’t enough — at least in the sense of how I’ve historically thought about that phrase. As the years went by, I needed the LORD to be ACTIVELY<\/em> with me. Taking action, not just watching. Participating, not just observing.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The older I’ve gotten, the more I realize that the LORD is very active<\/em> in my\/our lives. In fact, I think that if we knew the extent of His activities, our minds would likely be blown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I think that He expects me to be active in return <\/em>— to make use of the talents\/gifts that He gave to me. These days, I’m trying to figure out what that next chapter looks like for my family and me.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
