so today at church our pastor started a sermon series called, your future family. and it got me thinking. and my emotions all twisted. and my heart full. it is going to be a powerful sermon series. but one thing Kirk said was, "it doesn't matter where you have been, or how you are raised - what matters is now and how you are letting God move in you and through your life." wow. yes. i can't go back and erase my past, neither can reagan. but we can make steps to make our future how we want it to be for us and our future kids. our past does not define us. there is grace. and always room for change and improvement. even though we may feel weighed down by our past- we shouldn't because there is always grace. thank you Jesus. i am excited for this series. excited for what the Lord is going to teach reagan and i. because more than anything, we are trying daily to be Godly examples to each other and others. but more than that- we are trying the best we can to lay our foundation the way God intends for it to be - so that our future kids know what we stand for and believe. grace upon grace- is what will get us through. that and the love of Christ. and stepping into water and calling upon the name of Jesus to walk us through each day. amen.
i hope this encourages you friends... it sure did for me.
and then we ended church with this song... which is on replay out our house right now. listen. your heart will be full.
