While editing this quarter’s edition of Teachable Moments Magazine, I experienced chills to my body as I reviewed each article. I felt the power of the author’s birthing process of sharing their experiences and lessons learned. I get so much joy when God uses these talented authors to connect life’s lessons to these learning events. We were blessed to have four new authors to join the team this quarter! That is why I am so passionate about this platform to inspire, enlighten and encourage “you,” the reader. I pray you are as encouraged as I am by the articles presented herein.
After reading these articles, I am convicted to get ready to learn, redirect and get on top of my game, putting God first in my everyday living. The momentum I get in the morning to do the right thing allows me to prevail against an unrelenting opponent. I understand that a life without God will result in self-sabotage; attempting to do things without seeking wise counsel (DIY) and guidance for the important, weighty matters of life. As a mature Christian, you can praise your way out of difficult trials. Then, you’ll wonder how can it be that God loved me so much that He gave His life to give me mine.
The Spirit of God has endowed these authors with wisdom and inspiration as they shared teachable moments from events in their lives.
Seek God for your Teachable Moment today!
