three things

1. I heard a song this week that I love. The words have been a good reminder to find my security and significance in Christ…and make His name known. I couldn’t find a good video of it so you will have to go here to listen (click on Much of You).

I want to make much of You, Jesus
I want to make much of Your love
I want to live today to give You the praise
That You alone are so worthy of
I want to make much of Your mercy
I want to make much of Your cross
I give You my life
Take it and let it be used
To make much of You

(Much of You by Steven Curtis Chapman)

2. From my notes at church this morning:

Once a week just stop and be. Your identity isn’t in your things or your accomplishments. Your identity is found in God adopting you in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our pastor just finished an awesome series on Nehemiah today. So challenging. You can find it here if you are interested. I needed that reminder to stop and be today. To stop and focus on my relationship with God and others more than on my things or accomplishments. Which also reminds me…if you are participating in the Genesis Bible study, make sure you come back and leave a comment as you finish up lesson five. I would love to hear what God is teaching you!

3. And just because I need a picture in this post…

My two little mud babies. I have lots more of these pictures I will post later!

Happy Sunday!

    Lisa-We hosed the clothes off and they went straight in the wash…they actually came surprisingly clean! I am learning to send them out in their swimsuits at all times now. 🙂
