TOP 5 Weekend motivations, inspirations, and declarations!

5. God is in control, and I am excited about the plans that HE has made for me. HE is awakening desires in me that I didn't even know were there. And HE continues to bless me no matter how hard headed that I am.

4. Dave Ramsey is pretty much amazing. And I am getting out of debt, because I want to be out of my mind crazy intense about honoring God by having a giving heart and leading by example in every area of my life.

3. Watching students talk through struggles with each other is possibly one of the most amazing experiences.

2. I am not going to contribute to the alcohol industry no drinking, no going out to bars, nothing at all. I feel that alcohol has had a tight grip on my family for far too long. This is a generational curse that I am breaking right now. I am not saying that it is a choice for everybody needs to make, but it is necessary for me to make.

1. We went to Como this Saturday for a micromission, and I have been to Como many times before. But this time the reality of the poverty level was heartbreaking. The director said that over 75% of the students at Como Elementary received free lunches, seriously over 75%, and sit here and waste so much. There are houses in Como that look like the houses that are in Mexico. Man my heart was torn out and put in my face. I remember reading in a book one time that the author would pray that God would ruin him, and that is exactly what happened to me. And I am so happy to be ruined.
