Living in the Peace God Provides

If you go to church at CIOC, you have heard Pastor Scott talk about not letting the things that just happen in your life, rock your world. Believe me, this is so true. I was talking to a very close friend of my the other night and she made a statement that really made me think. She said she had never seen me so peaceful, and that my church had really been helpful for me. She said I was always smiling and would just go on liking nothing was going on but now there was just a peace that radiated from me now. That spoke to me. At that moment I realized I was depending on God regardless of my world. I thanked the Lord at that moment. God will use someone you least expect to confirm things for you. Anyway, we talked for awhile. As much as I have talked about Pastor Scott and Pastor Tyra, I think she knows them without having met them. But that goes for about everyone at my work place too. This is a friend who does not go to church, believes in God, and is a caatholic. We talked about praying. And before we hung up she said she would pray about something. Hey, I have been knowing her for 14 years and that is the first time I have heard that.
So, what people see and hear from you WILL influence them. Now you decide if your influence will be positive or negative. God Bless.
