Yesterday, Randy and I met with one of our dear friends who is a mentor of ours. Every time we meet with Him, the presence of God meets us there and uses him to speak wisdom into our lives. We are so grateful for these precious times and the encouragement we receive.
We shared with him all about our ministry, Monologue Culture. He really listened and wanted to hear our hearts. God used him to confirm some very specific things dealing with our ministry.
One thing he asked us which has been ringing in my head ever since: What do you have to give? Where do you intentionally bless another ministry or family? To whom do you give your over-and-beyond that God has blessed you with? It doesn't have to be money, but what if - EVERY meeting we went to - we brought a gift? What if when we go to mentor a previous student of ours, we bring food to his single mom? God cannot overflow us unless we are overflowing onto others - making room for HIS overflow.
What can I give? I may not have a lot of money, but I have time and abilities and words in which I can POUR out on those around me to create room for God to fill me back up.
What can YOU give?

Oldy, but goody:
I will offer up my life in spirit and truth
Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to You
In surrender I must give my every part
Lord receive the sacrifice of a broken heart
Jesus, what can I give
What can I bring
To so faithful a friend
To so loving a king
Savior, what can be said
What can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done
Oh my words could not tell
Not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
You deserve my every breath for You`ve paid the great cost
Giving up Your life to death, even death on a cross
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of Heaven, and have beckoned me in
What can I give
What can I bring
What can I sing as an offering, Lord
