So much to say, so little blogs...



The 'official' commissioning at Kensington Community Church was this weekend for Communitas. What an honor to stand in front of others and represent the life that Jesus called us to while he was on earth. "Thy kingdom come" was something that I heard a lot in prayers growing up, but that was just a rote activity, not something that I meant as I said it. Nor did I see the people around me living it out here on earth. But now I am part of a group of people that are at the least trying to bring the kingdom of God to earth, and even more strategically, New York City. After the services, people came up to us and thanked us and prayed for us and shared with us. I can't explain to you in words the satisfaction of following Jesus with your life. That's because it is inexplicable. I continue to hope in His will for my life, and I ask Jesus to make it clear to me what it is that I need to do for Him each day. I can't wait to see how it will end in obtaining a job and selling the house. Superstar and I always have talked about our willingness to go on adventures. Never before have we embarked on an adventure quite like this.

Every day life with Jesus is an adventure, whether he calls you to a different location or not is irrelevant. Every day he will push you outside of your comfort, into unchartered territory, and into an adventure where you HAVE to rely on him because what he is asking you to do, you can not do on your own. So, what adventure is he calling you on TODAY?

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

By far the most beautiful.

It has been a week since the death of my mother. A week ago right now, I was going on 14 minutes of sleep knowing that my mom had made her transition to heaven. That day brought many emotions for certain. A lot of sadness and grief knowing that she was gone from this world. Sadness in knowing that I would never again hear the sweet sound of my mother's voice calling my name from somewhere off in the distance. Knowing that my children would no longer run from here to there shouting "GRANDMA!" as I have so many times seen them do with such joy in their hearts. Knowing that I would never again on this earth see Hon and Hon holding each other. Kissing. Making each other laugh. This doesn't seem like a moment to speak about the beauty of life, yet I can only find myself focusing the last few days on just that - the beauty of life. I can say with some certainty that I did experience one (if not the) of the most beautiful things I have ever had the pleasure of expe
