Since I'm kind of a blog slacker... I am just going to post some highlighting pics from our summer. It has been great, and we were blessed to go on vacation with my family and do some fun stuff with Will! We kicked off the summer with brother's beautiful wedding in May, followed by vacation to Hilton Head in June, did some swimming and playing at home in July, and went to the fair & zoo in August! Enjoy!
I'm a little late in blogging, but I did want to recap how the New in 30 went. I did finish, and on time! Although I didn't stick to the daily plan, I read the New Testament in about 10 days instead of 30 :) Will & I also made it through his Bible, which was sweet.
It never ceases to amaze me that God makes His heart known to us. When I start a new study or reading plan, I always have the hope that God is going to reveal something BIG & NEW to me - maybe something I've missed in the past, or haven't been taught yet. However, I continually find that He continues to reveal His grace, truth, love, & mercy deeper and more intimately. I find this refreshing, yet also convicting because these things are often in conflict with my selfishness, anger, pride, you name it...
It really is all about loving God and loving others - I think about this all of the time, often in a very astonished tone. And that God gives us the power, to those who trust in Him, through His Holy Spirit to live in this truth.
God, my constant prayer is to be a lover of You and people as You have called me to be. I pray for this for Will to - that he will know and show your grace, mercy, compassion, and love to people. I pray that our family would continue to fall deeply in love with you so that we may more deeply love.
