occasionally i hear a comment about how fast this is all moving. sometimes i hear God speak to me. it's not so much audible as it is a thought that pops into my head and im not sure how i could have ever thought of that. this morning i was getting ready for my last day of work and was thinking about how quickly it feels like this has all happened. then the thought of Jesus calling his disciples popped into my head. when Jesus said, 'follow Me'...they didn't wait around. they dropped everything right there (some walking out on jobs, wives, children, community committments, etc). incredible. if we think we are 'moving quickly' then we have something else to learn. would i have been willing to drop it all and not look back if Jesus walked up to me and said 'lets roll'? its a good thought to chew on. if our answer is no...we need to re-evaluate our purpose.
wednesday night we had our last jr high ignite. it was sad, inspiring, and encouraging all at the same time. aaron talked about stained glass. its beautiful. when you look really closely at a portion of it you will notice that there are lots of different pieces making up a picture. each piece is different size, shape, color, and sometimes texture. pick out one piece and look at it. it is pretty...sort of. kind of odd shaped. one wouldn't know what to do with it or what its purpose was...until you see the bigger picture. all of these different pieces make up our mission. each person is different. their purpose may not seem significant but in the grand scheme of things...so very important. the picture wouldn't be finished without it.
may the Lord bless and keep you. may His face shine upon you,
aaron & sonia
