An Unexpected Responsibility

Expecting the Unexpected: An Unexpected Responsibility What if God gives you a purpose for which others have told you that you don’t qualify? “Build my kingdom on earth” is a pretty big responsibility. The shepherds were given the task of announcing the beginning of this new kingdom, and now it’s up to us to begin establishing it in our world. Will we listen to the voices telling us we don’t qualify for that job? Or, like the shepherds, will we believe we are exactly the one God is calling?  This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways: How are you wired-do you love the unexpected or are you a little unnerved by the unexpected?What was one of your best unexpected adventures?
