I love the understanding that life is not about what happens to us, rather how we react to what happens. My reaction to events is the barometer for my connectedness to the “Vine” (Jesus). I can tell when I am going it alone, because I am impatient, more provocable, judgemental. When I am in tune with Jesus I have His armor on, and the fruit of the Spirit is evident to me, and I hope…others. Being on the vine allows me to react in a manner that can glorify God. I am on the vine when I start my day with reading and prayer.

Isn’t it great when people of the Islands of this coutry like Starbuck’s see God in our moment by moment actions and reactions. Life is dynamic; meant to be lived out in the moment. God is in every moment longing to connect with us and show himself to tothers through us. Thanks Deborah

Again, I refer to my “Starbucks experience.” My coworkers especially, have noticed and commented about my calm nature during one of life’s storms. It’s a wide open opportunity, in that moment, to share the source of my strength and joy. I haven’t always stepped up to the plate with that invitation, but as I grow closer to the Lord in my walk with Him, I find it more natural to do so. In fact, I find it less natural to NOT give Him credit. As I trust Him more, I find myself less frazzled by those unexpected and frightening events and more apt to pray and submit. Thanks again for the wonderful insight!
