I had a conversation with a friend recently and we were talking about homeownership. We spoke about it as a normal occurrence, that everyone did. What seemed normal to us we quickly realized was not as normal as we thought. We recognized that it was normal for us because of the people within our circle. The people within our circle were homeowners or moving to that point. Now, I recognize this isn’t the case for most people, however it made me aware of something, who’s in your circle?

Yesterday was an absolute amazing day spiritually. God was speaking to me in a great way. He placed a ministry in my spirit. I know he wants me to move on it. I was so greatly encouraged on yesterday, nothing could stop me. Today, is a little different. Not that I’m down but I’m just not as motivated as I was yesterday. But that is where I have to seek the face of God, stay in tuned to him. When I connect with him, it makes for a more powerful day.
