When I look around me and see the people God is using to make a spiritual difference in the world, I am amazed. God is able to do things and have a life-changing impact in the world with the most ordinary people.

He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things (and things that are not) to nullify things that are, so that no one may boast before Him.”
