Inspirational Nugget: Mikaila Ulmer, 13
Mikaila developed a fascination with bees. So Ulmer started making lemonade. Using her great grandmother’s recipe, Ulmer made a blend, sweetened with local honey, to sell at community business fairs, donating 10% of her profits to honeybee advocate groups. By 2014, her side project was a full-blown business. Now I & the Bees Lemonade is stocked at more than 300 Whole Foods Markets, Wegmans and other grocers across the U.S. and Ulmer runs a nonprofit, the Healthy Hive Foundation, to raise awareness about the plight of the honeybee. Next up: finishing her first children’s book (it aims to teach kids how to start their own businesses) and expanding her company.

The Stature of Christ
Ephesians 4:13, 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) – Until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
A stature here simply means height or potential, which is a level we need to attain in Christ Jesus which is the fullness of Him.
The ultimate for a believer of a Christian is to be able to attain to this stature, height or potential which is in the Christ. Our work as Christians might amount to nothing we are not able to grow in Christ to attain this height.
To attain this height, stature or potential in Christ you just have to work your way to become like Him, everything about you should be about Him, this is the journey to the stature of Christ.
Prayer
Precious Holy Spirit, help to be able to grow to the stature of the Christ in all that I do, amen!
