Yes, I realize that it is 3 months into the New Year already, but it's my personality to take some time to think about things. Here's my list (in no particular order):
The Gospel
Daily, I encounter situations in which I need to be rescued- seeing in my life and around me the results of the Fall. Jesus is faithful. He rescues me!
Words
From the words that spoke creation into existence to the encouraging words that lift me up, I am beginning to understand the power of words. "Life and Death are in the power of the tongue" Proverbs 18:21
Community
It is here that I have experienced much of the Gospel and Words. Whether it be family or close friends- or new friends, it is such an amazing way that God created for us to interact. Truly, a glimpse of the perfect community that the Trinity experiences. I love people!
The Bible
It's incredible how off-kilter I can get as I attempt to seek the Lord. Thanks be to God for how he reveals himself through His word.
Culture
Diversity. It's just so beautiful. God has used culture to rough and shape me.
Meeting Jacqueline Kirby
Through this dear friend, I have been able to experience God's grace in such an amazing and unique way. Blew my mind.
Technology
Why am I so appreciative of my iPhone...and the internet...and movies...and Skype...and the built-in camera on my Macbook? Perhaps they give me an outlet to experience community in a deeper way.
Music
I think music has been in my soul since a youngster. Recently, my mama told me how I used to make up songs as a kid. I would suffocate without rhythm! Portishead, LeCrae, Thrice, Andrew Osenga, Jeremy Casella...too many first-time hears to list from 2008.
Got a list, too? Leave a comment.
