I can't believe how distorted my thoughts are. It drives me a bit crazy. God, and his mindset,interrupted my mindset to a reality. Yes, I have thought of this before. That I live a life of such luxury while others are in such poverty. But I needed a little reminder. I also wanted to share an excerpt from Undaunted by Christine Caine. A few seemingly simple ideas, but definitely good reminders on an everyday basis. "Simply Step into the Moment Don't over think being interrupted.

Make it a habit to:
It's this idea of giving rather than receiving. Don't wait to be given the gift to give back or pay it forward. You start the giving. It just might make a huge difference.
