Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Twice in 2019, people sent me photographs of past times in my life.
High school graduation photo. Photo of me as a baby. Photo of me when I was approximately 16 years old. Photo of me and my parents when I was high school age. Photo of my mother about a year before she died.
I looked at the last group of photographs which were sent to me.
I thought about what it would likely accomplish in my current life if I kept these photographs before me.
Then I threw all the photographs away.
I need to focus on what God wants me to do today.
I can't afford to allow myself to think of dead people.
What would that accomplish toward the purpose of God in living today?
How could that edify the church?

Philippians 3:13-15 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:
