About ricklittreal

I am a regular guy who lives an extraordinary life. God has blessed me with a beautiful wife who is a great encouragement to me. She is a mighty woman of God, blessed with a great anointing in worship. He has given us 4 daughters who, while challenging us, bless us every day in some way. I love being the daddy of 4 girls, I wouldn't have it any other way. My desire is to live a life that pleases God. To live a life that not only acknowledges God but is totally surrendered to Him - and I want to encourage others to do the same.

Defeating the ME in each of us!

It something we all face every day. It’s the selfish, self-serving, self-preserving side of us that wants to fulfill our flesh-generated desires with micro-fast speed.  It’s the side of us that does not want to be bothered with other people’s problems, with day-altering decisions, or requests for our time, our service, or our stuff.
