One of the very Sweetest...

So thankful for sweet treats like this. Josh and Stephanie Lindstrom's sweet Sophia.

I could kiss those little cheeks all day.

For you formed my inward parts;

you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you,

when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there was none of them.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

If I would count them, they are more than the sand.

I awake, and I am still with you.

Psalm 139:13-17

"There Is Work To Be Done"

I just finished listening to Matt Chandler's talk at Together for the Gospel 2010 Conference and it has moved me to want all of Christ- in everything in life. There is nothing better.

This week I have struggled with the reality of saying that I am a Christian. If indeed I am a believer in Christ and his Word, then there is an eternity at stake for every human being. How often do I live like Starbucks is at stake if I don't leave my house on time in the early morning. So foolish. How fickle is my heart!? Oh man...

Matt has encouraged me once again to be bold with the gospel. Speak truth in love- but SPEAK for pete's sake the TRUTH of the gospel.

If you have some time I would highly encourage you to listen to his talk. In fact even if you have no time whatsoever I would encourage you to make time for the sake of your heart and mind and listen to Matt praise the name of Jesus in the midst of his battle with brain cancer.
