Monday Reflections

It was good to be back in the saddle yesterday. After not speaking for a few weeks I was anxious to share what God had placed on my heart.

This One Prayer series has been incredible and we're going to camp out here a few more weeks before we move on. I know that I have been challenged personally and many of you have told me about how God has been stirring your hearts as well.

Here's a few add on's from yesterday: Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous! The will of God is not an insurance plan. It's a daring plan. In fact, the will of God doesn't get easier. God gives us more difficult, daring, and dangerous things to do!

Read Hebrews 11. We have to remember that safe places have never been used to change the world.

In the words of a daring twentieth-century missionary, C.T. Studd, "Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell."
The church needs more Studds! And you can quote me on that.

How has One Prayer stirred your heart?

BIGx3 Weekend at NewLife…

One Prayer - This weekend I will be sharing my one prayer for the church. I honestly can't wait to preach this weekend. I don't know when the last time was that I went 3 Sundays without preaching. (it hasn't happened since we started NewLife...and I know why now.) I have had an incredible break with my vacation and then each One Prayer message we've heard has completely messed me up!

I can honestly say right now that I know how Jeremiah felt when he said what he said in Jeremiah 20:9…God has totally set me on fire and I have got to get out of me what He has put into me. This weekend's message could be the most important message I've ever preached at NewLife. No weekend is a good weekend to miss but I can honestly say this weekend would be the worst to miss. That's all I can say about Sunday other than that I am praying that you'll be compelled to be here. (The future course of our church will be set by this talk.)

Also I would have to say that I have had some of you come up to me and email me that you are with me…heart and soul. You have no idea how much that has meant to me. (Some of you have no idea what I'm talking about because you weren't here last weekend.) I am honored to stand with those of you who have decided that no matter what the cost we are going to audaciously chase after the dreams that God has placed in our hearts to make a difference in the hearts and lives of our spheres of influence.

Live It Loud - On Saturday night our church will host Planning Yesterday in concert! Our very own Cody Renfro will be here with his band… I can't wait! AND YES, YOU DO NEED TO BE HERE! The cost is free!
Cody was one of my students years ago in my youth ministry. I can't wait for this night…it will be a pleasure to introduce him that evening and then to sit back and enjoy listening…knowing that he is doing something that God has placed in his heart to do. Be here y'all…it's going to be awesome!

Baptism's Sunday Night - If you want to be baptized Sunday night at the baptism service, don't forget to register. Email us at register@newlife-fellowship.org. If you have questions about baptism please let me know or email us at info@newlife-fellowship.org.

I'm not kidding y'all! Be at NewLife this weekend…the next chapter of our church begins now. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Going on Vacation?

TAKE NewLife WITH YOU...

All you need is...a vacation spot, friends and family, and a video camera. Record a video of your group welcoming everyone to NewLife Fellowship! The most fun, unique and creative videos will be selected and used right here in a Sunday service! This summer take “NewLife on vacation!”

So how does it work? When recording your “Welcome Video”, feel free to be creative, just make sure to include your name, where you are, and Welcome to NewLife Fellowship. Here's an example: "Hello, I'm Lisa and I'm in Italy with my family. Welcome to NewLife Fellowship!"...now here is where your creativity takes over! Be as adventurous as you want, take “us” out to the ocean, or on a helicopter ride, or to a mountain campfire sing-along!

Turn in your completed video along with your contact information on Sunday mornings during the summer.

Here's a video where I explain it...

Making Memories

Vacation is all about creating memories. Here are a few of our memory makers from our past trip...

1. Arriving in San Diego and forgetting Braden's car seat on the baggage carousel. =)

2. Eating pizza at our favorite spot in Laguna Beach...twice!

3. 2 days at Disneyland and watching Braden experience his first roller coaster.

4. Hanging out at the hotel so that we could recover from 2 days at Disneyland.

5. Driving up and down Pacific Coast Highway just taking in the beautiful views.

6. Taking pictures of houses that we might potentially retire to.

7. Driving an hour to Pasadena to take pictures of the Rose Bowl and then getting there and realizing that we didn't have the camera battery!

8. Warding off a real live Spider Man.

9. Eating lunch on Hollywood Blvd.

10. Going to see the Angels play and it being cool enough for Terica to need a jacket when the game started!

Luckiest Man Alive

Having just come off a wonderful evening of celebrating 9 years of marriage with my beautiful bride I found Tim's blog about his marriage to be very timely.

He talks about all the bad advice he's heard over the years from grumpy old men to young couples. I love how he responds...

Marriage is what you make of it. People will tell you all kinds of things...

• People will tell you that romance dies in marriage. Don't believe them...keep dating and it will grow.
• People will tell you when kids enter the scene your relationship will grow apart. Don't believe them...it doesn't have to be that way.
• People will tell you that your wife will never again look as beautiful as she does on her wedding day. Are you crazy? My wife is hotter now than she's ever been.
• People will tell you that the quality and quantity of your sex life will diminish. Uh, excuse me? I'll put my sex life up against any newlyweds. (Practically, I'm not sure how we'd do the comparison, so just take my word for it).
• People will tell you that you won't be able to make any decision about your time or money without getting permission from "the wife." First, stop calling her "the wife" -- and secondly, build a relationship on trust and mutual vision and you'll soon be thinking alike on these issues.

I would say that everything he says there I agree with whole heartedly and I could say about my marriage to Terica.

He then goes on to say: Oh, one piece of bad news...if you are waiting for the perfect woman, she's not available. I married her 18 years ago today, and that makes me the luckiest man alive.

Now that's where I have to stop and disagree! The perfect woman isn't available BECAUSE I married her 9 years ago yesterday, AND that makes ME the luckiest man alive!! =)

Anniversary

Nine years ago today Terica and I were married…I became hers and she became mine.
And if I had a choice to do it all over again knowing what I know now…I wouldn't even think twice...I WOULD DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT!

She’s my lady…my bride…my princess…and so much more.

I cannot emphasize how much I value the covenant of marriage. It’s not something that should be taken lightly. (Single dudes…please don’t think that marriage is just about sex…if that is the ONLY reason you want to get married then you are USING a young lady to merely satisfy your sexual desires…uh…that would be wrong!)

So many people ask how we met & began dating…here is my version (her version is slightly longer…which is about like saying the Pope is slightly Catholic!) :-)
I first saw her around1993…we were attending the same church. During this time we were both in High School and during most of High School I was dating someone pretty serious at the time…so…no sparks or love at first sight stories.

Years later we ran into each other at a mutual friends house for a Christmas Party a few weeks after the relationship I had been in had came to an end…and I began to take notice of Terica…SERIOUS notice; because believe me...I had noticed before. However, she pretty much intimidated the CRAP out of me. (It’s true…beautiful/godly women ARE intimidating! Some single ladies wonder why you can’t get a date…it’s because most guys are scared as heck to ask you out! Trust me!)

A few weeks later Terica began working at the bank that I was working at. I tried to flirt and hint around at work and I think she started picking up on where I was going. SO…I finally worked up the courage to ask her out and she said yes! I almost couldn't believe it and then
psyched myself out that she must have just thought of it as us doing something as friends. No way someone who was/is SMOKIN’ HOT was going to go out with me!!!
(I found out quickly that she wanted to date me. Single girls–don’t flippin’ play games…if you don’t want to date–DON’T. If you do–then DO! And when he asks you to dinner…don’t stay up until four in the morning evaluating what in the heck “dinner” might mean!!!)

It did not take me long to figure out that something REALLY special was in the works. I decided to “go for broke.” I sat down with her and basically said, “Here’s the deal…I need to tell you something and I don’t want you to say anything until I am finished.” She agreed and then I pretty much spilled the beans…told her how I felt about her…that I wanted to date her.
(Guys…I DID NOT SAY, “God told me that you were to marry me and I saw a vision of you in a white gown on a horse…” If you are doing that–stop it you freak…you are scaring her!!!)
And while I'm picking on the guys…call her…don't get your “best friend” to do it. Be a man! And DON'T ask her out by text msg.

We were together almost everyday for a month and then she left with her church to go on a ski trip. Apparently God spoke to her on the ski trip and when she got back she gave me the "I think God just wants me to be friends with you" speech.

So for about a month(41 days...but who's counting?) I decided to give her the space she asked for. I didn't require anything...I wasn't pushy and when I had the opportunity to hang out with her…I was just her friend…no expectations…all I wanted was to build a solid friendship and, if something happened…it happened. If not then I had a great friend.

Guys…if you can’t pursue a woman with no strings attached…if you can’t be with a woman and it not have to be physical…then I say you are a pathetic wuss! Show her you want to be with her…and not just for her body! Step up and treat her like a LADY!

April 1 of 1998 Terica spilled her guts and really let me know how she felt. I tried to play it cool but on the inside I was doing flips. I knew she was THE ONE! That night we started dating again. A few months later I talked to my parents and let them know this was it! I started shopping for a ring. A few days before it was time to pick up the ring I went and sat down on the back of her daddy's pick up truck and asked her dad if I had his blessing to marry his daughter. He said YES! =)

We got engaged in July of 1998 and were engaged for 11 months. Then on June 19, 1999 we were married at The Northeast Wedding Chapel in Hurst.

It was awesome…I pursued her like crazy to get her…and I am still pursuing her even today! I love my wife…and I pray that the next nine years will be as great as the first nine.
I love you Terica!!! :-)

Single guys & gals…there is NOTHING like dating and marriage when it is done God’s way! Dating and marriage should be valued…treasured…and completely directed by Jesus!!

One Prayer...Many Prayers

Along with 1,478 other churches, we continue the One Prayer series this weekend.

Here is a video the media team from Granger put together to launch the series at their church. We will hear from their pastor, Mark Beeson the last weekend of One Prayer.

Open Letter To A Church Hopper

Tim Stevens posted this on his blog. I enjoy reading his words of wisdom, and loved this open letter to a church hopper...

Dearest Career Church Hopper:
I met you again on Wednesday, the same person smiling at me through a different face, telling me that you've been shopping for churches for months now, and that darn it, you "just can't find one (you) like." The music's too rocky at this one, you said; the preacher too funny at that one. The latest one might make the cut, though: you'd had the pastor and his wife over the previous evening for a little "dinner audition" -- your words, not mine -- and he said things that made you feel good and comfortable, things that you already agree with, so you're thinking about sticking around. At the very least, you could get your teaching from this church and your worship from that one.

I'm sure we'll run into each other again, but before we do, I'd like to suggest some things you could perhaps think about before you move on to the next church, as I'm sure you will, whether this weekend or next year:
- Christ didn't bleed for the Church so you could treat your search for one like an episode of Survivor, deciding who to vote off the island this week.
- The Church was not commissioned by Christ to meet your needs. You ARE the Church, and you've been commissioned to meet the needs of the world.
- Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her (Eph 5:25). Quit treating his bride like a Jesus buffet where you can pick and choose what you like, hedging your bets against the pain and sacrifice of making a commitment.
- Per scripture's instructions to use your gifts in service to the Body of Christ -- and its lack of instruction to search for a church that scratches you where you itch -- you might want to consider what the Church you're visiting needs from you, rather than the other way around.
- If you only want to hear things you already know and agree with, save your Sundays and talk to yourself in the bathroom mirror.

Sincerely Yours...

Being Parents

We're not raising our son to be happy; but to be holy. We're not raising him to pursue the American Dream; but the breakthrough of the Kingdom here on earth. There's no one I'd rather share that with than Terica.

"Perry"isms

Here are some of the lines from Perry’s One Prayer message that caught my attention:

• “Lord, make us dangerous.”
• "We left the house without God."
• "The only way we're going to be the dangerous church that God has created us to be is if we take Jesus and make Him our passion and our prority and we put Him first before any of the other stuff we consider to be important."
• "We've got to be willing to walk with Jesus."
• "I believe there ought to be a sense of anticipation in our churches."
• "We ought to get speeding tickets on the way to church because we can't wait to get inside the doors."
• "We're not striving to get there 10 minutes early...we're ok if we're 10 minutes late."
• "Some people need to get out of the frustration line and get into the anticipation line."
• “Where there is no anticipation, there is seldom revelation.”
• "We've got to be willing to listen to Jesus."
• "Food sharing is a sin." =)
• “Just put the butter on the biscuit. We’re all going to die anyway.”
• "I want to drink the biscuit."
• “Get your eyes off of your situation and get them on Jesus.”
• "God never calls us to a fair fight and if you can do what He's called you to do without Him, you didn't hear from God."
• "God will always speak to us and call us to unfair fights and will overwhelm us and we will seemingly think there's no way that can happen. That's where Jesus wants us to be. As individuals and as a church."
• "We gotta believe in Jesus."
• "A church that is dangerous will believe that the best is yet to come."
• “Jesus was not safe. He was incredibly dangerous. The Church is not supposed to be safe. It’s supposed to be dangerous.”
• "Hold on to your fork."
• "If you are still alive God has a plan. You're never to young or too old."
• “When was the last time you anticipated God doing something great?”
• "We need to ask this question of God: “What else can he do?”

One Prayer To Do's...

During this month of focused prayer I'm specifically asking our church to make every effort to do four things for One Prayer:

1. Make every effort to pray daily for One Prayer. Praying through John 17 each day may help you with this discipline.
2. Make every effort to fast at least one meal each week during One Prayer
3. Make every effort to give to help start new churches. More information will be coming soon on this.
4. Make every effort to encourage others to be faithful in meeting together each week. "Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another..." (Hebrews 10:25)

Let's unite in One Prayer.

John 17:20-21 - I'm praying not only for them But also for those who will believe in me Because of them and their witness about me. The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind— Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So they might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me.

One Prayer

This past Sunday we kicked off a series called One Prayer. We heard from Pastor Craig Groeschel who is the pastor of LifeChurch, which is based in Edmond, OK and has locations across the nation. Craig is one of those people who just get it. But, beyond that fact, he is anointed by God with an amazing capacity for vision, leadership, and integrity. He really may be the poster child for Jesus' charge for his followers: "be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."

Craig's talk, "God, Make Us One" was so encouraging and challenging--I'm grateful that what God gave to Craig is going to be a part of the NewLife fabric going forward.

Over a thousand churches are participating in this series that revolves around one question: if God would answer one prayer for the church-at-large, what would you pray?

Great question.

And this is going to be a great series.

One Prayer gives us a unique opportunity to hear and learn from some of the most influential pastors in the country. So we'll have a few guest speakers at NewLife during the series that will speak via video. And then I'll be speaking live as well sharing with you my One Prayer for the church.

For just a taste of how far the reach of One Prayer has spread, go to the One Prayer website and join the conversation.

Can't wait to see you this weekend.

Take A Vacation

"We Stand"

Lee McD and the band played “We Stand” at the conclusion of the service at NewSpring Church this past Sunday. It’s one of my favorite songs that I have heard off of Lee’s new album. The are participating in One Prayer and I thought this song goes great with this series. So, here you go. Crank up your speakers and listen to it loud. This isn’t your momma’s worship music.

What If...

As any of you who attend NewLife know...I am totally into asking "What if..." questions. We are currently in a giving campaign where we are giving to turn "What if...into What is!"

I read Perry Noble's blog this morning and he asks some great "What ifs..." I wanted to share them here because my heart resonated with everyone one of these. You can check it out here.

- WHAT IF the church really believed that Jesus was as powerful as Scripture says that He is?
- WHAT IF we were not afraid to BEG GOD for ridiculous things, knowing that He is able?
- WHAT IF we REALLY believed that Acts 2:41-47 was actually the starting point of all that God wants to do through the church and NOT the watermark?
- WHAT IF we really believed that a life dedicated to Christ means that we are completely His…not just on Sunday?
- WHAT IF every church became a cheerleader of other churches and not critics?
- WHAT IF we really believed the church existed to CHANGE the world and not just to “meet my needs!”
- WHAT IF we really believe that teenagers and children are worth the investment and poured resources into them instead of making them sell doughnuts in front of department stores?
- WHAT IF we really believed God’s Kingdom should grow through the church instead of being stagnant?
- WHAT IF we were willing to lay aside our personal preferences for the sake of reaching those who are far from God?
- WHAT IF we refused to participate in slandering and tearing down another person?
- WHAT IF we sought to embrace God’s plan for our lives (and churches) instead of trying to get Him to bless ours?

What if...?

Laguna Beach

Terica, Braden and I are having a great time! If you really want to vicariously live through my vacation, check out my updates on Twitter.

P.S. Some of you might be wondering why I'm blogging while I'm supposed to be vacationing. Shhh. I have a secret. I wrote my posts last week and pre-scheduled them to post this week. So get off my case =)

Don't Be Hatin...

Today this is where we'll be playing...California Adventure Park at DisneyLand. Fun Times!

"Craig"isms

We kicked off One Prayer yesterday! It's going to be a great series.

Here are some of my favorite lines from Craig's message yesterday: ("Craig"isms)
"Be a part of the dialogue, the prayer, and the passion by visiting http://www.oneprayer.com/."
"Father in Heaven, make us ONE."
"This series was not born out of my passion for unity, but out of my own personal failures."
"This series was born out of my repentance...and my humble desire to unite the Church of Jesus Christ around the world."
"What if...as churches around the world we became the answer to Jesus' prayer?" John 17 NIV
"It's got to break the heart of God when He looks at His kids and we can't get along."
"Scripture teaches 3 Ones to bring unity in the Body of Christ."
"1. One Enemy. We have a spiritual enemy who is attacking the cause of Christ."
"We need to have a common vision"
"As believers around the world right now we have to realize that the evil one is trying to destroy us."
"The evil one is bent on dividing the church."
"2. One Heart." Acts 4:32,34 NIV
"There is strength in our diversity."
"3. One Purpose." Matt. 28:19 NIV
"When have we forgotten that WE are the church? The church does not exist for us but we are the church and we exist for the world."
"We are a part of the body for which Christ died. The problem is we're playing for ourselves and not for Him."
"It's not about the name on the back of our jersey. It's about the name on the front. It's about the name of Jesus."
"Father in Heaven, Make Us ONE."

Follow My Vacation

Wanna know what I'm up to on my vacation this week. Follow me on twitter.

I have to admit....I'm really having fun with this whole Twitter thing.
"What's Twitter?", you ask.
Twitter is sort of like blogging, but on a much smaller scale. 140 characters to be exact.

Here's how it works:
I post something short and simple either via the web or text messaging.
Then, the crazy stalker people (kidding...) who subscribe to my Twitter receive an instant update via text messaging or on their Twitter page (txt alerts are optional...)

But here's where it starts getting fun....
When you read a Twitter you like, you can reply to it and comment back.

To tell you the truth, Twittering can be a bit addictive BUT it's PERFECT for my ADD self and a pretty amazing way to communicate quickly with a whole lot of people.

To try it out or to subscribe to my Twitter, go to my Twitter page: http://twitter.com/bnicewonger and click on "Join Today." It's that easy!

One Prayer Churches

Check out this video that scrolls through the names of each one of the churches that are participating in One Prayer. It was really powerful to visualize what 1200+ churches actually looks like when they are listed out, ONE by ONE.

One Prayer Churches from LifeChurch.tv on Vimeo.

Welcome To One Prayer!

Welcome to One Prayer! This global teaching series will address the question, “If God would answer ‘one prayer’ for the church, what would you pray?”

The Vision
Pause for a moment… Think about Christ’s Church. (By Christ’s church, I mean every living believer.) Think about the resources God has made available to us. Consider the money we have. Consider the talent, gifts, and passion of perhaps two billion people.
Now consider the needs around the world.
What do you think God could accomplish through a unified church? What if we stopped talking about Jesus and instead displayed His love through a unified and global biblical community?

Here is Jesus’ prayer from John 17:20-24.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (NIV)

We pray daily to Jesus asking Him to answer our prayers. What if we became the answer to His?
What’s Next
Stop by the One Prayer site to learn more and do more than browse. Be a part!

Here’s a glimpse of what you can look forward to over the coming weeks:
We’ll pray daily for the churches and pastors involved.
We’ll fast weekly. Tuesday will be a day when we fast and pray, with a different focus to guide us each week.
We’ll serve with other churches in our communities and reach out to those in need.
We’ll give towards an offering that will be used to help plant 500 churches in the Sudan, Cambodia, India and China regions.

Visit http://www.oneprayer.com/ each day to get updates, prayer requests, and join the discussion. We can do more together than we ever could apart!

One Prayer - Part 2

One of the most powerful components of the One Prayer season of ministry is the opportunity we have to play a key role in planting new churches in some of the most remote corners of the world.

The planned locations for these new bodies of Christ are: Cambodia, India, Sudan, and China.

Collectively, those nations are going to be home to 500 new churches. That's 500 new outposts and beachheads for the love and hope of Christ in places where love and hope are desperately needed.

This is the kind of focused, intentional, and uniting work that would not be possible without technology bringing together over 1,200 churches representing more than 750,000 people in weekly church participation.

"Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is ONE body and ONE Spirit—just as you were called to ONE hope when you were called— ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism; ONE God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." Ephesians 4:3-6

What is your One Prayer for the Bride of Christ?

One Prayer - Part 1

It's finally here: the message series ONE PRAYER kicks off this coming weekend at NewLife. The series is based on this premise: If you could pray one prayer for the Church, what would it be? Big question, isn't it? What would you pray if you could pray one prayer for the Bride of Christ?

One Prayer is a series of messages that over 1,200 churches worldwide are preaching through in the month of June. Those 1,200+ churches represent more than 750,000 people in weekend attendance.

Here's why I'm excited...I've never heard of Christ's Bride pulling off this kind of unity of purpose and practice at one time--EVER. I'm so thankful for Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv for having the vision, obedience, and leadership to bring this to the world. We'll kick off this series this weekend and get to hear from Craig and about his vision for this series.

In the weeks that follow, we're going to be challenged, blessed, and encouraged by some of the greatest communicators and leaders in the church today. I know that sometimes going to church falls off the radar a little in the summer. But you will miss so much if you miss any of One Prayer.

Be praying with us and for Christ's church that together we will stand unified with churches all over the globe to make the name of Jesus famous. I'm praying that this is truly a unifying effort...after all the Church is the hope of the world.

Blog Absence

I've been so busy here lately that I haven't posted in almost a week. Let me let you in on what's been going on and what's happening.

- School ended last Friday so I have officially started my Summer.
- Our Married Life ministry held an event this past Friday called "The Reception." It was totally incredible. We got together with other married couples here at NewLife and celebrated our marriages by having a big wedding reception complete with a D.J. and wedding cakes. (There was even dancing...in church! Crazy eh?!?)
- Sunday morning we wrapped up our Adventure Managment series and I talked about relationships. I mentioned and I will say it again here…to all of the people who want to go “deep,” you are only as “deep” as the last person you served! If Jesus meant what He said in Matthew 20:28 then we are not supposed to seek how we can be served…but rather how we can serve others. (Hint: I think He meant it.)
- Sunday night we met with our LifeTeam for the last time this semester because we'll be out of town this week on the final meeting. I love doing life together with these people. They rock my face off!
- Got to play golf in the annual Birdville Classic Yesterday with some of my teacher friends. We had a great time even though it was hot and my head looks like Bob the Tomato.
- I love summer and I'm looking forward to getting to travel this summer. California next week, Philly/Baltimore/Altantic city and S. Padre Island in July.
- I just had lunch with my wife. I love her and she's hot.
- I don't know if I mentioned this or not...but I love summer. I'm getting ready to go play golf again today...two days in a row. This time with Braden and my Dad. 3 generations of golfers...fun stuff.
- We started registration for our Adventure Week this past Sunday! I can't wait until it get's here. At NewLife we believe in reaching our kids and we're making plans for this to be the biggest and best Adventure Week yet.
- John Ch. 17 is messing me up this week as we prepare for our upcoming One Prayer series. I am so seriously stoked about this series...this has the potential to be one of the greatest moves of God in years and we get to be a part of it. I can't wait to see what God does. (More later in the week about this.)
- God is REALLY stretching me…and during the past week He has shown me that my dreams are way too small…both my ministry dreams and my personal dreams. So I have been begging God to help me dream bigger dreams and He's really teaching me to be Comfortably Uncomfortable. I can say this...Isaiah 55:8-9 has taken on new meaning.
- By the way...I love summer! I'm so glad it's here. (Don't know if I had covered that yet!) =)

Later...
