Layman, Amateur, Ordinary, Common...Yup, Sounds Like Us!


 I read this verse the other day and it jumped right off the page and made me almost burst with Excitement and Joy! 

Acts 4:13 (MSG)
The verse is talking about Peter and John, boldly preaching, and doing miracles after Christ had risen from the dead and was no longer on earth...... 


Not so ordinary I guess......

I inserted our names, and made this my hearts prayer for Trev and I

VS:13 They were amazed and couldn’t take their eyes off them. Trevor and Christina standing there so confident and bold, so sure of themselves! Their fascination deepened when they realized these two were laymen, amateur, ordinary, and common with no training in Scripture or formal education. They recognized them as companions (Friends) of Jesus, those who had been with Jesus


That's real....

Wow, now that is something to be recognized for..... a friend of Jesus.  Those who walked with Jesus.   Worked with Him, learned from Him, laughed, and spent time with Him... day in and day out......
and now walk in dumbfounding boldness and confidence because of Him...... and no other reason!!!

I want to be recognized as common everyday people who know Jesus



XOXOXO
