Moving Forward

Just some stuff

Today is my mom's birthday... so happy birthday, Mom. AND my sister, Liz is pregnant! Please be praying that she and the baby stay healthy and that she is able to carry to term. Now, onto regular things...
I went up to my sister's last weekend for Labor Day. It was great of course. I got to see a bunch of people I don't get to see too often and Liz and I took Kayla to the Last Fling. Good times in Naperville. I also went to Wheatland for church on Sunday and it was so refreashing to be around people with such faith. Pastor Scott is awesome. I got to talk to my old youth pastor for a while too and we're going out to lunch this coming week. My dad is coming into Naperville to spend some time with us and his sisters this week. I'll pick him up from the airport in Chicago on Tuesday and then spend the week there until Sunday. I'm flying down to Florida to spend time with Stacy and Jeff on Sunday. I was orginally going to help them move, but since they've decided to stay I'm just gonna be hanging out. I feel like all I've been doing is traveling this summer, but it's good. It's given me something to look forward to since the job situ is the same.
So, there's lots going on and lots to be considering these days and I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store. I'm awaiting whatever is next. I've learned that I need to be more patient and just trust, so that's what I'm doing. James 4:13-15 says: 13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

Here is another Third Day song that I love:
May Your Wonders Never Cease

Father in Heaven
Lord, may Your name be glorified
Above all others
Above all this world
Above everything else in our lives
For nothing else in all of this world matters
But to live our lives for You and You alone

May Your wonders never cease
May Your Spirit never leave
May we ever long to see Your face
When we’ve turned from You again
Oh how quickly we forget
May we be reminded of Your grace
May wonders never cease

Beautiful Savior
Truly You proved Your love for us
While we were sinners in all our weakness
Still You gave Your life upon the cross
You saved us, Lord, from all of our transgressions
And delivered us into Your loving arms

Father in Heaven
Lord, may Your name be glorified
Above all others
Above all this world
Above everything else that’s in our lives
For nothing else in all of this world matters
But to live our life for You and You alone

Well, I hope you take time to bask in His glory this week. Til next time...
