PAAARRRTY TIME!

A wonderful friend – the same person that planned the yard sale – is hosting a finalization party tomorrow afternoon/evening at their families’ beach house in Colonial Beach for our church family and some other friends. The beach house is on the Potomac River and we are supposed to have a campfire on the beach. It will be SO nice to be able to celebrate with the people who have walked through this sometimes turbulent process with us. Looking forward to being able to focus on the end result – Jaxson – and not the craziness that occurred in order for us to get him. Maybe I’ll take some pictures and post them later – who knows!

Let’s paaarrrty!

Things that make me go Hmmmmm…..

I love quotes. I am going to begin posting some of the quotes from sermons that have made me stop, think, and evaluate. • God already knows the doubts and concerns of our fears (Gen. 15) • Grace plus anything is not grace (Gen. 15) • Sometimes we need Jesus with skin on (Gen.14) • Difficulty is not less than what we deserve (Gen. 14) • Union with Christ means communion with one another (Gen. 14) • To love the Promiser more than the promise takes great faith (Gen. 12:10-20) • When you stop trusting God, it is not long before you stop worshipping (Gen. 12:10-20) • Faith is not ignoring our circumstances – faith is not ignorance – it is trust (Gen. 12:10-20) • Obedience is always a product of faith (Gen. 12:1-9) • God doesn’t call us to a faith that stands on nothing – it stands on the hope of God’s promises (Gen. 12:1-9) • God’s grace doesn’t stop all difficulties (Gen. 12:1-9) • When we want to make a name – is it for God or ourselves (Gen. 11:1-9) • If God’s intention (in the flood) was to end sin then He stopped short (Gen. 6:9-9:29) • Mankind’s sin has plunged us into the depths of depravity (Gen. 6:1-8) • My sin grieves God to His heart (Gen. 6:1-8) • We use the gifts of God to deny God (Gen. 4:17-5:32) • Why do you come to worship God? (Gen. 4:1-16) • Sin is multi-faceted – nothing comes out that wasn’t already in the heart (Gen. 3:1-24) • God never shows the depth of sin without showing the height of the cross (Gen. 3:1-24) • God designed the difference between man and woman (Gen. 2:18-25) • God’s grace existed eternally in our unchanging God (Gen. 2:4-17) • The law is a guide not a judge (Gen. 2:1-2) • Only people can choose to worship God – animals give glory to God (Gen. 1:1-2:3) • We should come to creation in awe of God (Gen.1:1-2:3) • Everything in creations screams the majesty of God (Gen. 1:1-2:3) • Your value is in what God has and can do through you (Gen. 1:1) • Is my stuff a means to God or is God a means to my stuff? (Ps. 115) • What is the one thing that if I didn’t get it or if I lost it would I be suicidal? (Acts 16:13-40) • Don’t love your freedom at the expense of your friends – fellowship always outweighs freedom (Acts 15:1-35) • Satan seeks to use realities against us (Acts 13:1-13) • Prayer is not last resort (Acts 12) • Are we defined by the gospel alone? (Acts 9:31-11:18) • No amount of ability will get you to Jesus and Nothing you do or can do will keep you from Jesus (Acts 9:1-31) • There is no sitting on the fence when confronted by the gospel (Acts 7:1-8:3) • The gospel is about what God has done to reach us not what we do to reach Him (Acts 6:8-15) • God designed the week – if you are doing/trying to do more than can be done in a week then you are doing more than God intends (Acts 6:1-7) • Nothing hurts the witness of the church more than hypocrisy (Acts 4:32-5:11)
