EC got away this weekend for much needed rest and re-connecting with each other and with the Lord.  We’re all so busy with our home, work, church, family, etc., and get so busy with living that we or I forget to STOP.  This weekend was one of  those STOP weekends and BOY! was it a good STOP weekend.   As we were sitting around, one of the things we began discussing was what do we consider “success” or to be “successful”.  I pondered this for a long time and it finally came to me through my friend, Monica, that being successful for me or us is to be “satisfied”.  Now that may seem strange to some, but when you realize what being satisfied means, it will give you a better idea of what I mean.

In the Strong concordance, satisfied  means “to be in the fullness of God’s presence”.  So satisfaction in material success will always be temporary, but if your success is being satisfied in the fullness of God’s presence , then for me that is true success.  So what does success mean to you?  Think on it………
