Deep Roots

Day 50/366 (2/19/2012)

Oh, God is GOOD!  I got to be a part of the team leading worship with the choir in the Chapel service this morning, then we had an amazing experience in the main auditorium for the 9:45 service (joined by the Nightingale trio--we missed you, Tommy!--roommate extraordinaire, Danielle, and the lovely Patti) learning all about being lavish in our loving and giving.  Everyone, look out!  My prayer is to be able to lavishly bless you all!  Then we ran to Panera for food and picnicked in style at Lemonia Grove.

It is humbling being in the presence of great giants whose roots run deep.  I refer not only to the hundred-year-old trees but the company present.  Regardless of age or generation, I was surrounded completely by wisdom, insight, creativity, and a passion for Christ and serving and ministry that holds them each deeply rooted in Him.  Praise the Lord!

"For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit."

                                                                                        Jeremiah 17:8

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
                                                                                        Hebrews 12:1

Do your roots go deep?  What are you rooted in?
