Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. The Message Matt. 5:14
Melissa @ The Inspired Room (http://theinspiredroom.net/) set some montly goals for her "A beautiful Life" Friday linkie thing! I was inspired, so in true "theifing" fashion, I stole her idea and changed them up a bit. I set 12 monthly goals to focus on each month to SHINE.

April: Financial Freedom
May: Family

Hello there! I stopped by after Michael shared the link to your blog - and couldn't stop reading! :-) I just wanted to let you know that I am truly touched by your writing. It is inspiring to see someone letting God shine through them so clearly. Thank you!
