It sure felt good to be back in my own bed. It is always great to leave on vacation and always nice to return. Here are some of the million of photos I took:

Do you like my new design? I think simplicity is my goal right now. I admit I left on vacation burned out. Burned out on blogging, on reviewing, burned out on life in general. I let my perspective become skewed. Things that should not upset me were getting to me, my focus was on things that did not matter. I was focused on things the world says is important, but things that don’t matter to God. It is so easy to look at others and feel they receive all the breaks. I was left wondering why God would even want to use “little ‘ol me.” I told God “so and so” is so much more spiritual than me, they communicate better than me, they have more opportunities to share your word, they have a larger audience. I said, “Lord I don’t think what I do matters.”

Know how God responded?

He was silent.

He let me “tell” him all my excuses, he let me have my pity party. He let the tears fall and he comforted, but was silent. I said, “Lord what do you want me to do, where do you want me to go?” But I did not have any big revelation.

Then on my way home I listened to a sermon where the Lord spoke to my heart. The speaker shared about how he is not a preacher and how God led him to speak but he did not feel qualified. Long story short, God laid three words on my heart.

FEED MY SHEEP. Even if it is one person or 100…FEED MY SHEEP.

That will be my focus for right now. I am not going to look at numbers, I won’t look at size, or opportunities others seem to have. Whoever visits me here I want them to know Jesus loves them, no matter what.

My focus will be simply come and visit, hopefully you read something that helps you grow closer to God, and then go share with others about Jesus.

Come, Grow, and Go
