truth

Happy Sunday fellow readers!  Church was pretty great today.  The worship team likes to take well-known songs and add their own hip-hop twist.  For example, this morning we sang “How Great Thou Art” (with a cool funky beat) and in the middle of the song the pastor got up and rapped some words of truth.  We were discussing this with the couple from our community group last week how rap is pretty amazing.   It can fit so much biblical truth in such a short amount of time that it makes it very powerful! 

Pastor Mark spoke on the Letter to Ephesus and how they lacked in loving.  This hit home for me because the Ephesians were faithful servants- they read their bible, tithed, served…did all the things a “good” Christian should do, but still lacked love.  It is so easy to get caught up in everything that you miss the basics.  My prayer and hope is that I am reformed into a greater person of love out here.  I need to be humbled and reminded that I am not better or favored more than anyone else because God does NOT show favoritism…truth!   

I had the great time chatting with my dear friend Brittany this afternoon.  I miss hanging out, making a meal and sitting on the couch discussing our lives over a good cup of tea.  Our conversations always challenge me to think deeper and to be REAL about living a life of faith.  I am grateful for she is friend who sharpens me. 

Thankful for: good friends (even in they’re miles away) and technology to connect me to them!

This week brings 2 nanny interviews and well who knows what else!  I hope you all are well, have a good start to your week and rest easy! J
