First Birthday...


Avery just turned one last week! Where does time go? She was being too polite as she was eating her cake so I gave her war paint stripes. Can you tell her dad is a football coach?

It was fun to celebrate Avery's birthday. Quite honestly, it's fun to celebrate anything. We were created to celebrate. This is what worship is. Worship is celebrating who God is. I have recently found myself to be so busy with details of different work projects, that I have not been celebrating life. I have been in survival mode going from one thing to the next trying to get things done and stay on top of a long to do list. I have not been truly celebrating God. I have not been celebrating my family. This is not what we were created for. There is something much deeper to be experienced. There is a much grander story being told. The author of the story is worth celebrating. Don't you sense something deeper taking place in your life? Don't you sense a deeper calling to your life? I think we agree that there is more to life than getting things done...When was the last time you truly celebrated life? When was the last time you celebrated the fact that you have a God who is passionate about you? Here's to celebrating life instead of simply surviving...Here's to seeking out the grander story being told in and around you. Cheers.
