Prepare to Act

This week we are concluding the Sermon on the Plain from Luke. In it Jesus speaks of acting on his teachings. I just got back from Juarez on a mission trip, building a house. I felt like I was acting out what we're taught by Christ, but feel my mind is clouded right now. After an experience like that how do I act out the faith back at home. It seems like it's so much less intense now that I am back, less sacrificial. Maybe in order to act I have to prepare myself in some way. After all, this isn't just a one time decision, this is a concerted effort made each day. I don't want to just commiserate on what I did, I want to look forward to what God can do through me moving forward. So, In what ways can I prepare daily, how do you prepare to serve each day?

Peace,
