Remember-
Even though we can't see the SUN-that does not mean it is not there-
Be the DIFFERENCE in someone's life today!

3 STRIKES
So Baseball has officially begun! Can you feel the excitement in the air as people dust off their gloves getting sunflower seeds in the mouth and humming "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"
Here in MN we cheer for the TWINS-but I'm always amazed at just how quickly the fans fall of the wagon. So far the MN have only won 2 games and the player they are paying A LOT of money for has already broken his leg...boy oh boy!
It seems we live in a culture in which the cheering fades quickly when the losing begins...but I find myself asking..."isn't that when we need the cheering the most?" When we are doing well or when our teams are doing well it's super easy to jump on the band wagon and cheer...Whooo Hoooo! But Yimminy Yackers-when things don't quite go our way, we fall behind or lose a few games-Silence and boos and man "how could they?"
Here is the GOOD NEWS! This life is a journey and we don't have to live it listening to people who cheer us on only when things are good because we have a SAVIOR who cheers us on in the Joyous moments and the Weary moments-in the laughing moments and the weeping moments...we are NOT forgotten!!! (Hebrews 13:5-6)
(Romans 8:31)PLUS Hebrews 12 tells us we have a cloud of witnesses CHEERING US ON...so that we can run this race with PERSEVERANCE! So Cool!!!
How great would it be to be a people of cheering-riding that wagon no matter the circumstance-cheering each other on-sharing a word of encouragement...let us not be silent any longer and please...don't give in to the "boos" of life but instead rise to the challenge of being part of the Whoooo Hooooo in the everyday~

Aisle sit there
So the Gordy Family decided to have a night out and see a new movie. We got to the theatre and quickly found out that we ALL like to sit on the aisle...I believe I was the only one who sacrificed and sat in one seat...unbelievable :D
Funny movie-good popcorn and we only took up 5 rows to watch it!

Do you KARE
One of the things I enjoy-for whatever reason-is watching the 10 p.m. news...crazy right? I really have found myself appreciating KARE 11 for the team they have put together-mornings-afternoon-evening...they are all great and the weekend team is as strong as the main anchor team. I've learned something from watching them.
1-BE YOURSELF Life is not an act, it shouldn't be anyway...we should live this life authentically...who you see is who you get...
2-LAUGH show joy...we who were lost and now have been found have the greatest JOY ever...how can we not live this out loud and tell others of our Savior
3-BE A PLAYER team player that is :D How boring to live this life alone or think we are the only ones to "do" what needs to be done...lonely and not fulfilling if you ask me...let's join together to do great things
4-WRAP IT UP lol...say what you need to say and then let it be heard and processed...okay, this one I'm still a little slower to implement (hee hee)

Big World
I am sometimes in awe some what I get to do for a living-I have such a passion for music and God is so creative as He give each of us our gift. Today we had the privilege to hear from Church Planters from Sweden. 4 Brilliant musicians shared not only their talents but more importantly their hearts and their Pastor spoke the Words of life.
It was a great Sunday to be reminded of how BIG our God is and that He is orchestrating His people to proclaim His life saving Good News-we cannot be silent. So lets join in and make a JOYFUL NOISE and be engaged in what God is doing all over His creation!

Ever So Slowly
Things I'm learning:
Leaders Follow
To First Seek
Not to Blink
To Let "it" Go
Fixing my Eyes
Hiding the Word
Walk with the Wise
Run as to Win
Live out Loud
Be Still
Be in the Now
Cast my Cares
Love Deeply
Not to let the Sun Go Down
When all else fades only Jesus Remains
