Nobody wants counterfeit money, but we often run after counterfeit relationships. Counterfeit relationships can either cripple your walk with Christ or serve as a blessing.

Not everyone is meant for our good.

I was driving in my car the other day when a combination of emotions from that morning and all the unanswered questions I had from God began to boil up inside of me. The next thing I knew, Worry had entered my car and was sitting beside me. But this wasn't the first time that Worry had been a passenger in my vehicle. It's actually more like Worry is a close companion of mine.

People show you who they are every day. Well, at least they show you who they want you to see. They show you their mask that portrays whatever character they want to be or whatever game they want to play. One might say that I'm a pro at spotting a good game. I'm a New Yorker. Game spotting is part of my DNA (smile).

As I sat with a friend and complained about how hard the latter part of 2015 had been for me, she listened for a while before gently responding, "Maybe your 2015 would not have been so hard if you had just done what God instructed you to do."
