Healthy

Came away from church fired up today.  We've attended church very sporadically this summer, I'm ashamed to say.  Between weekend trips and young kids and full schedules, we haven't been there as much as we should have.  I for many year expressed frustration over young families who don't "commit" to church and only show up for half the sundays out of a month.  I hang my head and admit misguided judgement as I also raise my hand to now being one of those families.

That being said, this sunday we did attend, and I'm so thankful.  A churchwide challenge was given to start looking inwards at our own lives.  Grow.  Change.  Seek Jesus.  Simple, yet difficult.  I'm ready.

I expressed this need to Mitch a few weeks back - how do we teach Jesus to our kids without living it?  I mean, we don't actively NOT live for Jesus, but we certainly are complacent.  Easy.  Comfortable.  Not in the place I want to be.

So, just as I put it out there that I was going to start running (which I did), I'm also putting it publicly that it's time for a head shake.  I'm on board with this church vision.  I'm excited and feeling challenged.      I'm ready to start leading worship again.  I'm feeling renewed in the direction we're taking in devotions. I want my relationship with my husband and children to reflect Christ's love.

Yep.  Let's do it.
