When I get up in the morning and make my plans for the day, they don’t always happen as I planned. Then I get upset, and consequences follow. Why have a lousy day simply because I did not get as planned? After all, it was only my plan and I did not check in with the world to see if we all agreed. So when I wake up I first ask God what plans God has for me. Since I am clueless, I ask that I be open. I may still have plans, but it with an attitude of openness, that is, a willingness to surrender my will and life to God as I have come to know or not know through prayer.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
