Let the Celebration Begin!

 Happy 33rd Anniversary! 

Tomorrow is my parent's 33rd Anniversary! I am so blessed to have parents who always strive to keep God first in their marriage. I truly believe that their strong faith in God and their love for each other has allowed them to have a marriage that all couples desire. My dad is full of generosity and wisdom and my mom is full of selfless acts and joy, which is why combined they make the perfect couple!

Letting God Lead

A few weeks ago Steve and I went to hear my brother preach at Grove Community Church in Riverside. He is the high school pastor who on occasion also preaches for the entire congregation (big church, as I still like to call it!). Both him and his wife Natalie do an awesome job ministering to the high schoolers and the congregation at the Grove.

I always look forward to hearing my brother preach because

 1). I am his proud sister and #1 fan :) 

2). He is gifted in speaking God's Word

3). His contagious laugh always has the ability to make me smile and laugh. Yes, even as he preaches!

<<<<<<<<<< A Good Reminder >>>>>>>>>>

After hearing his sermon about David and King Saul I was reminded about the importance of TRUSTING God to LEAD your life (especially during the hard times) and how vital it is as Christians to always 

FEAR the Lord. 

There is so much truth in this verse:

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"

~ Proverbs 9:10

I encourage you to take 30 minutes out of your day and watch his sermon. I think it is a good reminder that we all need to hear. I promise you will also get to hear his contagious laugh and I guarantee it will make you smile and laugh too! :)
