Memorial Day Weekend

It is hard to believe it is Memorial Day already! The school year is almost over, six days left. This has been one of the quickest school years so far. This weekend was a blast! We spent some quality time with friends over the holiday weekend.

We spent the weekend grilling out, playing corn hole, catching up with friends, ice cream, and enjoying our friends kids! It is such a blessing to have such wonderful Christian friends who have the same belief as you and who you enjoy one another's fellowship.

This will be a busy week:
Softball on Tuesday, Field Day Friday, Hanah's Birthday Party Saturday.....

The Vow Series

Yesterday, Pastor Ron started a four week series titled "The Vow". This is going to be a great series on Marriage that the Lord has placed on Pastor's heart. Here are some things I took away from Week One.

Week 1: Priority

This message totally centered on who do we put as our #1 Priority in our lives. Many times, I find myself putting my wife as Priority #1. It is great to have that in my heart and soul, but ultimately, our #1 should be our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we have a great personal relationship with the Lord, we will have a better relationship with our spouse, and then that leads to better relationships with others.

Foundational Truth:

1. You give out what you possess.

*From your past: (successes, failures, losses, dysfunction, habits, history)

*In your present: (priorities, principles, purpose)

2. I cannot give what I do not possess.

*Matthew 22:37-39

a. JESUS is the ONE

b. Your spouse is the TWO

3. In order for me to give I must first possess.

*Your character, convictions, commitments, calling

It really made me stop and think about what changes do I need to make in order to totally put Christ as the NUMBER ONE priority in my life. It also has made me stop and think about what I am placing as my top priorities in my life. I am looking to see how God is going to move in me during this series and beyond.
