Just around the corner...

Only 4 more days until we pack up my CR-V to the brim and set out for North Myrtle Beach! Wahoo!

As of Monday, I reached 100% support. Frankly, I'm floored. And I think God is chuckling at me.

Before stepping into this summer, I find myself thinking a lot about what it is I'll learn and what I'll see in North Myrtle. My prayer is that God will leave this giant imprint on all of us - evidence that we've been with Jesus. In Acts 4, Peter and John are thrown into prison because they were preaching the word of God and performing miracles in Jesus' name. But people can't help but notice that Peter and John - although ordinary men - have something that is noticeably different about them. "When they saw the courage of Peter and John, and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and took note that these men had been with Jesus." -Acts 4:13. They had been with Jesus.

They had been with Jesus, and that alone was enough to change them. They did not try to be perfect, or say the right things, or deliver the gospel on their own power - they had been with Jesus, and as a result, couldn't help but talk about what they had seen and heard (Acts 4:20). It was a desire that welled up from the inside, that was jolted to life by the presence of Christ.

I'm so excited to see how Christ will change us this summer. He's going to wake up our hearts!
