Baptism

Sunday was an extra special day. Three of our youth made the decision to express their love and commitment to Jesus through baptism. It is always so exciting to witness such a celebration! This was a special day for Kyle, as well, because it was his first time to be the "dunker" and have the honor of experiencing such an incredible step with his youth!

My prayer for their spiritual journey is that they would truly understand that it is a journey. And that, as a church, we would always make the dominant understanding of our faith that of a journey and not a destination.

"One of the illusions of faith is that at some point we get it all mapped out and things get smooth and predictable. It is not true. The way of Jesus is a journey, not a destination. On a journey, the scenery changes. A lot. We can prepare for some things but not all. We make mistakes, figure it out as we go along, and try new things. Failures are really just opportunities to learn." - Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis

Blessed

During the music at church today I was overwhelmed at how blessed Kyle and I are to be a part of LifePoint. As I looked around at various people I couldn't help to get excited about how many opportunities I saw for God to show His brilliance. Opportunities for Him to take a dead situation and bring life...vibrant life. Opportunities for Him to use people and their talents to change the world. Opportunities for Him to change mediocracy into passion. His plans are so much bigger than I can begin to imagine...and having Him whisper to my soul, "Just think of what I can do through..." brought emotions and excitement I cannot even describe.
