Yesterday is waiting

I love being in Midland. During this transition I have written about the changes my family is walking through and about how all things seem new. This week Pastor Dave ended our Banner Quotes series with the banner "Yes Lord". In the message he said that "yesterday was waiting. No mater how far you've gone from yesterday it's always just a decision and step away". As we follow Jesus we need to be present in the day He has given us - this day. As I look back on yesterday, on great times, on times of great trial, on relationships and circumstances, and on achievement and failure, I need to celebrate some of yesterday and grieve some of yesterday, but more than anything I was reminded this week that I need to be present in today. I want to walk through today with my eyes wide open and not miss anything that God has made for me this day. I'm not trying to figure out tomorrow, I'm just trying to say "yes Lord" today.

Last week Wed nite, after our "Thanksgiving Eve" service (which went very well by the way) the family and I stopped at the Mother ship for hot chocolate (tea for Claire, and a mocha mocha decaf for me). It was great, but it reminded me of all the good times we had there together. Good discussions, although maybe the times were not so good in some ways. I am learning a lot of the same things you are.

Take care my friend
