Friday Reminder

by

God wants you to tilt your head up for a moment to see that there is a bigger story unfolding right now. An eternal story is taking shape, in which you have a role. There is more going on then whiny kids and temper-tantrums and traffic that doesn’t go anywhere. There is more to life than over-stuffed closets and runny noses at night. Yes, … Read More Friday Reminder

Pretty perfect night with the fam #lakeaustin #summer i It's official. I am the second to last shortest Allen in the family. Come and get me Comey! #short and #tall When I was five years old, I really, REALLY wanted to have a pet. I begged and begged my parents for all kinds of animals to come live in our home. I remember being allowed to babysit the pet gerbil from my kindergarten class over one weekend and sitting in my room for hours and playing with that little critter. You would think that would be the tipping point for my parents. They could ignore me all weekend! I kept to myself. No arguing with my brothers. No whining that I had nothing to do. When the little critter went back to school, I kept up the fight. I enlisted my two brothers alongside me. My parents were outnumbered. We thought of all the reasons why a pet was a necessity in our home. It would teach us responsibility. It would be a companion for us. We would teach it tricks. We would somehow get jobs and pay for the pet food and supplies. And then a lightbulb went off in my head. I would get God on my side. I would ask Him for a pet too. “Dear Jesus, I want a pet. I want a kitten. A cute, cuddly kitten that I can sleep with and eat with and push around in my doll stroller. But if that’s not okay with you, a puppy is fine too.” Funny how much our prayers sound like my childhood prayer. We feel like we have to convince God to do what we want Him to do. We feel compelled to explain to God all the reasons why we need Him to answer. We think we have to prove ourselves. Maybe we need to give God some new information or inspire Him with some fresh ideas. Maybe if we talk more, He will listen. We feel like God is holding out on us and we have to put up a fight. We have to pray harder and longer and maybe…just maybe, He will see our side. This kind of praying puts a wedge between God and us…as if God were some kind of hoarder and we have to win His will.

His smile is still contagious! #mission #haiti Addie has a unique gift of making friends wherever she goes. She is soooo loved by the community of Neply and it absolutely blows me away. People constantly are inviting her to their homes, introducing her to their families, and seeing her genuineness shine through. Love this girl! @mylifespeaks
