Living Your Strengths Session 1

Our church leadership team (BLT) is going through Living Your Strengths together. I told them that I would post some more information here so that they could go through more of the information in their home study time.

The first VALUE is Vulnerability. I liked what one of them said. "That second one is what scares me." The second one was this:  To acknowledge strengths means accountability. Accountability is scary!

My first question for us is this:

To each is given the manifestation of the spirit for the common good. (1 Cor. 12:7)

Think about that. Now, consider these questions in relation to that.
1) How does it feel to be able to "name" your talents?

2) What aspect of your Signature Themes report surprised you most?


Find some time to journal and reflect on this.

Tomorrow's post coming up!

Last names

Today Audrey mentioned that real princesses don't have last names. I thought about it and decided that she was right. I've never thought about that before. Does Disney have any last names for any of those fairy tale people?

She just continually comes up with the neatest thoughts. 

The Mall

We spent all day at the Mall of America yesterday. It was a hoot!

Audrey and I rode rides while Alissa and Eliya window shopped. It was a long day. And a great family day! Vacation is awesome.

First Snow

And we finally have out first snow!

Three to six is what they are saying to expect.

Not bad!

Am sad that we will miss people tomorrow because of the weather.

Wow! We are done loading! It took one while day to do it. Gene, Josh, Jesse, Kaelynn, and Taylor helped us get it 100% loaded. Pretty awesome.

A Moment in Life

Today, Audrey will attend her first day of Kindergarten. Big day!

We are living in North Dakota now while we continue to wait on what God has in store. I suppose in some people's mind it would seem like God has forgotten us or maybe not had a plan for us or maybe we aren't hearing HIM correctly.

That is not how I see it and not how I believe my God works. God has a plan for everyone. There is no plan A or plan B; there is just God's plan. God takes our choices and circumstances, and HIS plan and mixes them to make beautiful, sweet lemonade that is HIS very best for us. God's Best Lemonade!

Today is another step in the journey God has for us. It is another step in following a God that wishes HIS best for us every day. It is God's best for us today!

To God be the glory for all things that have happened and that will happen!
