Leaving for vacation

I'm sitting here on the computer as darrell is finishing up last minute details It never takes me long to pack We were supposed to leave this evening but now have decided to leave about 4am (YUK) It takes about 6 1/2 hrs to drive to Lee Kristen just needs to be there around 1pm to check in so we should be ok

I finished the book by Louie Giglio "i am not but i know I AM" The last few chapters really spoke to me especially the following section:

"How do I live for His name in the daily grind?
Well the answer is not easy, but it is simple-- you do whatever it is you do in such a way as to reflect His character to the world around you. You don't have to be a preacher like John or Paul, or a missionary, or a worship leader, a Christian record label-type, or a church worker. In fact you may even have a better shot at amplifying His glory if you're not any of these things....That's why Paul writes, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Paul is saying that living for God's glory is not so much about what you do as it is about doing whatever you do in such a way that it reflects Jesus Christ to those around you and ultimeately points to Him.


Not an easy thing to do in the business of "the world" sometimes

God is really tugging on my heart to pray tonight ...

    I love what that says because if you simply just act as an example people would realize that more than anything. And I know from experience how hard that is.

    Im gonna miss you guys! Especially you Kristen;) Rochelle, bring me back a rock or sand or something:) Enjoy your vacation.
