come thou fount

Well, Brandon and I are feeling really blessed in our life right now. Have we moved up to the next tax bracket? No. Have we gotten any promotions at work? No. Have we suddenly come into a large sum of money unexpectedly? No.

We are still driving a red sentra named Ruby that likes to invite the rain inside every chance she gets. This makes for a wonderful smell that fills your being when riding during inclement weather. We still have a 70’s house with a few small unfinished projects like installing doorknobs, shutters, mirrors, hanging a couple doors and one bathroom that still needs some help…okay maybe more than a few projects. We still have a box tv and this was donated after our 19 inch-bubble from college finally gave up the ghost.

But amidst all of our average-ness, we have had the unusual pleasure of walking beside some friends as they experience a very un-average opportunity.  Brandon and I have been able to encourage, advise, calm, and support two good friends as they see the hand of God opening doors they could never have imagined for themselves.

We get to help someone walk out their full potential with the eyes of the world watching. I don’t know that this thing we do at church, you know, being part of people’s lives, encouraging the best from them, and seeing them grow and walk in their gifting has ever been so satisfying.

So, LA here we come.
