The Deacs play in a few hours and I cannot wait! What better way to spend the weekend than watching some good basketball? I feel like I'm at home :)
Yesterday I read something pretty cool that I thought I'd share. It's a quote from the book "What's So Amazing About Grace?" --
"If John were to be asked, 'What is your primary identity in life?' he would not reply, 'I am a disciple, an apostle, an evangelist, an author of one of the four Gospels,' but rather, 'I am the one Jesus loves.'"
What would it mean if I too came to the place where I saw my primary identity in life as "the one Jesus love"? How different would I view myself at the end of the day?
Isn't that a great little reminder of how much our Creator loves us?? It is my goal this week, and hopefully from here on out, to remember this and see myself through the eyes of my God, through the eyes of the One who loves me best... to remember what has been done for me and that I am called to do more in this life than I am currently doing. Also, to remember that someone is there for me and gives me strength in all that I attempt!
I just listened to a sermon from Mountain Christian entitled "Walk Across the Room" and one point the pastor was making is to "be obedient to His nudgings." How much easier and inspiring is it to be obedient to the one who loves me, for I am "the one who Jesus loves." Cool little tie-in there. God is good about those moments. I'm excited to see what is in store in that regard this weekend and week.
I still don't think anyone reads this, but if you are reading it and are near Asheboro, NC in May, check this out! It's going to be really special and a great way to really feel connected to people around the world who are in need of help! My good friend Allie B spent some time in South Africa at the end of last year and is really passionate about this upcoming event at her church! So if you are around, check it out!
The games are on - I'm going to watch - click here for a laugh!
be obedient to His nudgings.
