Inspiration

According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.

Ephesians 1:4

Reading and Learning

God also chose you to be His child and to be a part of the body of Christ on earth at precisely this time and in precisely the location where you find yourself. God does not randomly snatch some piece of wood that has fallen down through a crack in the wall say, "oh all right, I'll go ahead and add this to the house." No! With great determination, deliberation, and design God has said, "I want you. I'm going to use you for this particular job. I want your specific personality and your unique set of talents in this precise position at this significant time."

The Lord has crafted you and formed you and shaped you. He has molded you and made you. He know your strengths, your weaknesses, and your character, and He has caused you to be a perfect fit and a perfect tool for a very precise and important role in His plan. You have been chosen just as the cedars of Lebanon were selected, one by one, for the building of Solomon's temple. Jesus said to His disciples, "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you." (See John 15:16.) The same is true for us today as His disciples on this earth.

Outdoor Fun

It's been a quiet weekend home with these two. Michael finished mowing the yard and put together this big cross. Aaron was driving his car and watching cars and trucks go by our house.

Other Fun 

Each weekend when Michael finishes mowing the yard we go across the street to DAP's. Usually we just get ice cream but this time we decided to get a full meal. It was delicious but I think this burger was a little bigger than Michael was expecting. He's giving me his best "Why are you taking my picture again/how am I going to eat this thing" look.

Quote of the Day

For such a time as this I was placed upon the earth. To hear the voice of God and do His will, whatever it is.
