“Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:28-31 NLT

I'm ready for Thanksgiving!
This is ABSOLUTELY my favorite holiday of the year!
Spending time with family is the best way to spend a holiday. Good food, good fun, are all the perfect recipe for a holiday AND this holiday is also the kickoff to the celebration of the birth of my loving savior.
Having this break from school is much needed. I need these times to renew my strength and help this weary man get much needed rest. Our society is packed with nonstop activity. We take no time to slow down and really appreciate our wonderful lives. Stephanie and I are really working to slow down in the very near future. We are working at simplification of our complicated lives. We are looking to spend time in ministry, spend time with family, and spend time with each other. We're not like God, we DO grow weary, our strength falters, and we fall to exhaustion. We need to cut out all the frivolous activities that zap our energy and fill the extra time with the Lord. We need to have time for rest, renewal, and peace.
Soon! Very Soon!
