Good morning!
I was in a conversation in the Lowes break room with a few of the summer seasonal workers. They were sharing the challenges they face succeeding in life. I asked them, "Not what you desire to do, but What do you desire to become in life?" They looked at me and each other and were silent, not knowing how to respond.

This morning I searched scriptures, and prayed over what we desire to become.

Much love!
Gary
