Well this is Kay writing...Jerrell has been doing awesome sharing all that God has done and is doing in the Altic household...but I wanted to share something that I have personally been walking through this side of SE Asia and just in life....
Something the Lord has been talking to me about is "my Agenda"...not like a time agenda or list of things that need to get done on a certain day...but "my Agenda" within my relationships from Jerrell to the kids, to friends, to just random interactions the Lord might bring along the way...and it has been so convicting...because as long as I have my Agenda...my wants...my needs...that I am trying to get met in ways illegitimate ways, it is going to hinder me following God's agenda for the day and for my role as a wife, mom, friend and follower of Christ...
So I felt the Lord put before the question "God-seving or Self-serving?"...to help me check my reason for doing what I am doing...and it has been freeing and convicting at the same time...I desire so much not to self-serve through life...it is so easy to do because the self can be so strong inside me at times...but when I step back and walk in a God-serving mindset I don't struggle to need more from others than what is appropriate to need...For God is the provider and I want to walk with Him and be amazed at the ways He provides...Self-serving can leave a heavy burden on others when you walk away...but God-serving always leaves the fresh fragrance of Freedom...
So I ask you the question I am constantly asking myself right now...Do you find yourself living a more self-serving or God-serving life?

Great question! I try to tell the lord first thing in the morning," I don't know where you are going today but I am going with you."
Thank you for sharing your heart and being real. I know it is very easy for me to think that I'm being God serving when I'm actually being self-serving.
Love your blog! Thanks you so for sharing!! Love Tone
