I can't believe it my little girl is 1!! What? Didn't we just bring her home yesterday? She was so cute at her party toddling around, chasing all the other kids wishing everyone would stop trying to carry her everywhere. I told Pastor Rob, "I promise you she can walk". To which he responded, "I'd never know it b/c your family won't put her down!HA!". Sooo true! It was a blast though seeing so many peeps I haven't seen and spending time w/ some I've seen but haven't had or made time to just really share life w/. My wife and cousin made one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen-actually they made two great cakes! Lily loved her Mickey Mouse one of course!
After the party was wonderful too b/c Rachel and I got to spend time w/ two of our favorite peeps Steven and Jen! Wonderful conversations about God, life, kids, church, all kinds of things. Jen unsuspectedly said something that both convicted me and complimented us at the same time. She called us their mentors. NO way! Those two have done and accomplished more than I ever could have dreamed of! I don't mean that in some kind of competing, jealous way just that they are so awesome. The conviction is that we aren't involved in ministry and really not even committed to a church. Sure there are all the excuses as to why but more than anything for me it is fear and a lack of zeal.
So as we pray and fast the next 20 days this is something I am trying to search out within me.

Jen and I were talking after we left you guys too...It was very reminiscent of the ole days when we lived in Jackson. After church on Weds. we'd stay till like midnight (or later) talking and then try to drive back an hour. One time I didn't even remember the last couple of turns we made and woke up in a parking spot...lol. We do miss you guys a bunch and yes you guys poured more into us than you realize!.......
on another note...the word verification encryption (below the box I'm typing in) is a pretty interesting word.....called
things that make you go hmmmm
