I want to fish. I want to captain a big boat and take people fishing. I want permanent sunburn and pina coladas. Not living at the beach and not being independently wealthy has temporarily sidelined this dream. I struggle with the future. What is coming, always waiting on what’s next. I forget life is happening in the present. I am a 38 year old child. My boys are ready for the pirate life. The girls…..not so much. Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been reflecting on how good God is lately. I think this is a healthy practice amid the little nuisances of everyday life. I am quick to be aggravated with distractions of my everyday life. I love my kids. But if you let em….they will drive you crazy. Little people’s brains don’t work properly…I’ve determined. The more I parent, the more I realize I am frequently wrong…but never in doubt.
David is gone this week to Mexico, so Jesse from Redemption filled in. The worship was great. But it only made me appreciate what David is doing for the Church even more. He has worked hard, prayed hard, and practiced hard to create an environment of freedom for all to enter into God’s presence and to really feel the Holy Spirit. I believe it is his heart for all of the Church to experience the Lord and Holy Spirit in worship. Thanks, David, you are really appreciated. Have fun in Mexico!
Ready to really trust God. Are you ready to get a little uncomfortable? Think outside your box of knowledge? Do you acknowledge you don’t know all there is to know about God? If this is true…..are you currently seeking those answers? Are you afraid it will cost you too much? Your freedom? Your favorite movies? Your social activities? Your friends? Your family? Scary..isn’t it? Are you ready?
Happy Birthday Erin. Thanks for being a great friend to me and especially to Angie. We love you!!!
