“The Acid Test of Knowing if you are Surrendered to Following God”. There are three questions to ask yourself: Choices- Do I choose Jesus over everything? Family, food, drink, sleep, etc. Covenant- Have I made a covenant or commitment to God? Example: I will do whatever it takes even unto death. Permission- Do I give God permission to take my life if I turn from Him and I am not willing to come back so that I will not bring Him shame? COME AND TAKE THE CHALLENGE WITH ME!

Almost Unpacked!
Wow..... I am almost done, I am almost completely unpacked. This is the apartment building that I moved into two weeks and one day ago. I think this may be a record for me. By the end of the day tomorrow I will have everything in it's home and all things hung on the wall and all extra things thrown out. I hate throwing things out because it feels like part of me is going away forever but at the same time I love it. If I can find a place, that is a new home with someone else, for the things I'm throwing out I do but otherwise I have learned that getting rid off, trimming down, just throwing out can be so freeing. Before I went to Nigeria I did a lot of that but since I have been home I have had the desire to do more and more of that. I don't know if it is because I am wanting to travel and be ready to go whenever God says go, or if it is that I have realized that I don't know half of what I have. There is some guilt associated with having so much stuff after being in a place where so many have so little. I suppose that I should just call myself blessed and go on with life.
I do love my new apartment and I will post some pictures as soon as everything is perfect.... Can't do it before because I want everyone to think I always keep my house in perfect condition. Hey, we can all dream can't we?
