What’s next…

I’ve just stuffed myself with chocolate chip cookies, and now I’m sitting in my bedroom listening to the ocean…life is good…but what is next?

After spending almost 2 months travelling home has never smelled so sweet, but both Matt and I believe there is change in the wind.  What that means exactly we aren’t too sure.  We have a bit of direction, but only enough to begin to move forward, not enough to actually change anything, and so we wait. 

When we have more concrete details on what the heck is going on, I’ll probably write about it.  So until then I’ll probably write more God stuff, cause He is who I spend my time thinking about.  I’m reading the book of Acts at the moment and finding it fascinating.  There is so much drama in the early church, and so much excitement.  Christianity is so new, and I wonder if Christians today can get that back.  Where have all the signs and wonders gone?  Anyhow, if anyone has anything interesting to say on Acts please do and I will try to have something interesting to say as well!

I'm with you on that...Acts is a fascinating book, full of energy...I don't know if we can get "that" back, but I do feel that some of us modern christians really need a shift in focus, seems so many of us live lives so similar to the ones who don't know Jesus. How can that be? If we know Him and know His love, why doesn't that cause us to stand out more, why aren't we SALT and LIGHT more often?
I'm thinkin about these things maybe because I have been reading so many books about this and I have been feeling stirred by the thought that maybe, as followers of Christ, we should be as bold and as radical as He was when He was here walking among us...seems like a given, and yet, it's not happening, not as far as I can tell...
that's a bit more rambling than I intended,sorry! I will be reading on about your changes and journey, it's cool to see a family who is actually living by following the lead of their Father and being willing to GO
good on ya! ;-)

Thanks for sharing Laura, and that wasn't rambling, it was all very relevant!
