new book...

lane and i are reading this awesome book..

uncensored grace by my new author/boyfriend jud wilhite.

love this quote, you'll love the book:

"When I realized the value I have in God's eyes, it changed me. I began to reimagine myself as one loved deeply by God, irrespective of what I felt. I am loved before, during, and after my sin. I am loved when I feel unworthy. I am loved in spite of myself. I wanted approval from others to validate my worth, I wanted to show everyone I could make something of myself, I wanted to become someone. But that day I realized I would never find what I searched for because I already had it. I had to personally embrace God's grace in a life-transforming way."

enjoy...also, go buy this freakin' awesome book!!!!

on christmas eve...

I think it’s easy to get overwhelmed wanting to know scripture more, or walk in victory over this or that. It’s much easier to decide that today, knowing that God has given me all the grace and mercy I need to be all that He has made me to be, I am going to follow Him. Today I’m going to read and meditate on His word. Today I’m not, by his grace, going to give into temptation. Today I will be obedient to His leadings. Day after day following the long path of obedience in the same direction until, and if, we get to 70, drinking coffee early in the morning with lifelong friends…until then, day by day…until we are sitting at an even better table.

coldplay

it was three years in the making.

in september of 2005 i had tix to see Coldplay at the Verizon Ampitheater in Birmingham, AL. This was back when i lived in AL. They cancelled the day before. It took me a while to forgive them, but last night I got redemption.

Quick Recap:

attendees: Brett, Lane, J. Berry, A. Berry, J. Britt, N. Britt
dinner: california pizza kitchen (yep!)
opener: mind blowing
best feature of the show: center back projection round ballons
2nd best feature: camera work

our seats were actually pretty good. we got to see behind the curtain during the opener which was pretty cool.

enjoyed a great night with wife-0 and best friends.
