Rooted and Grounded
Love. That’s what it’s all about right? I ran across a great reminder this morning and I wanted to share it with you.
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. – Ephesians 3:14-19
I know there is so much more to be said about those verses, it’s jam-packed with goodness and truth, but I needed a quick reminder this morning of why we’re here. Loving God. Loving People.
I’m back in Atlanta now, but I don’t know for how long. God has opened up a opportunity for me down in Florida that I am continuing to pray about. I can’t give you the details now because, well, honestly I just don’t know the details. It would be a new ministry with my best friend Chad and his wife Ashley. I’ve known him since I was 8 and he’s been a great friend. We have been involved in 2 church plants together where we led worship and led the high school class, and now he is down in Florida leading worship for a great church. He’s an incredible musician and writer and loves God with all of his heart. I will tell you more about the ministry when I go down to see them in the next month or so. I would covet your prayers about this situation. I desire to be nowhere other than where God can use me at my fullest potential.
Meanwhile, I’m trying to meet with as many people as possible here in Atlanta. I would love to sit down with you and talk about the journey I have been on in the last couple months. Feel free to email me. You can go here to get my email. Either way, I would love to hear how YOU all are doing.
Thanks again for your prayers. You are laying up treasures in heaven. I love you all.

it just happened. someone just called us and said that they wanted to wire us $2500 dollars. I am amazed…

unbelievable. God’s pretty ridiculous. now i will thank him for you.
Thanks for the reminder about being rooted and grounded in love. We just can’t fathom the love that the Lord has lavished on us. Today as I was sitting with the Lord I heard a lyric to a song that spoke about that the rains will come. Often when the rain pours down we find our hiding place or in other words a place to remove ourselves from that rain, but I think that instead of finding a place of shelter, maybe we should just dance in the rain. Rejoice in who He is and may His love continue to overwhelm you as you seek Him.
FREAKIN AMEN SHAUN.
definitely praying that God will give you direction and close every door except the one that HE wants you to go through. love you bunches!
