It Has Been A While April 16, 2008

Well It has certainly been a while since I wrote last. There is no way I can catch you up on everything. Our family has been extremely busy I will give the highlights…we did just return from Disney and it was Wonderful, soccer season is winding down and we are getting ready for Prom!

The last few Sundays we have been in a series on Metamorphosis and this past Sunday we did a couple of “Makeovers” it was Awesome! I must tell you I thoroughly enjoyed the time I was able to spend with Tammy. I had never spent quality time alone with her and I was able to because of this series. This really reminded me how important it is that we take the time to get to know people I mean really get to know them. I see people on Sunday but I don’t get to have real conversations about what is going on in each others lives…I have known Tammy for over a year now but I knew nothing about her personally and after just one afternoon together I learned more than I have in many many Sundays together.  Another thing is that Tammy and I are very different in several ways but that is what should stretch us and help us to grow in our relationships with others and the Lord. After this time with this amazing lady I just have to say She is one terrific person that everyone at Crossway Church should take the time to get to know! I must admit this has really opened my eyes and I am going to make more of a commitment to get to know more people and to know them better.

This is the Family of God in action! We have to learn to embrace the diversity, get out of our comfort zones and build real relationships with the people that He has in our Church family.

I just want to say we Have the most AWESOME Church around and it just gets better and better! Thanks for all that you do!
