I try to live by the motto – Eat to live, not live to eat. There are times though were food is so enjoyable that you know you have past the line. That happened to me last Saturday as I sat at a restaurant eating one of my favorite meals, sushi, with a friend I hadn’t seen in over 9 years. We were celebrating three things at once. The foundation and work of Iron Rose Sister Ministries over the last 9+ months, the first simultaneously English and Spanish Iron Rose Sister conference being completed at Northwest Church of Christ, and my 36th birthday. It was wonderful to sit next, Michelle, the woman I cheerlead everyday and literally share one of the best meals I have had in a long time.

Today, let's throw back to the days before GPS. How many of you feel lost at the mere mention of those days? You can now rent cars with GPS installed, most smart phones have access to GPS, and this is not just a phenomenon in the United States. The maps may not be as verified, but GPS is known and widely-used.
In my travels, I have been grateful for my own internal GPS, a good sense of direction. It has gotten me out of many a tough spot and has let me back to where I needed to go on more than one occasion.
I was recently reflecting on God and His Word as our guide and the Holy Spirit as our internal GPS, if you will. How often do we look at a clearly defined map that tells us how to get from point A to point B and totally ignore it in preference for our own route? How many times do I see God's clear instructions for my life and set it aside to follow my own desires and control?
