The 2024 BE Project – In a world where you can BE anything, what will you choose?
I want to be more aware on a daily basis, because I read the Bible every day, twice a day. I want to be more aware of what God’s telling me, but I also want to be more aware of the people that are in my life, how important they are to me, and I also want to know how I can be better for them. It’s not just about me, it’s about how I can be more aware of what they need, as opposed to what I need. I want to be there for them. Even if I have to make sacrifices, that’s fine.

I want my life to be a life of service, not just to my family, but to whomever. It can be prayer, it can be whatever, but I want my life to be bigger and better than that. I don’t want it to be just that moment in what I’m doing, if that makes any sense to anybody other than me.
When thinking about my word this year, I kept praying about it, and kept praying about it, and nothing came to mind, and one day I was reading the Bible, and I forgot even what I was reading, and it just dawned on me how Paul was so aware of God, and everything that God had done for him. Even though he was in prison. He was so aware of that ever-presence, and every day he prayed faithfully, God will see me through this, my light is coming.
If you could go back and talk to yourself two years ago, what would you say?
Your faith and your prayers are going to pay off for your kids, your friends, your family. Their lives are going to be so much more enriched, all because of prayer.
