I recently bought a new CD that has a bunch of old hymns that have been modernized/contemporized in different ways. I LOVE this CD. It brings back memories from the church I went to growing up.
Although growing up I always thought singing hymns was boring (especially when we sang them so slow!) but there is such deep rooted meaning in the lyrics, that I have now come to see how valuable they really are.
One of my favorite songs on the CD is "Joyful Joyful". Every time I listen to it, I think of my dear friend and mentor, Jamie and I think of a bunch of kids in a large sanctuary singing their hearts out at VBS.
Both such good, good memories.
And I think of Jen and me teaching kindergarten for a class full of 4-5 year olds...
Now that is a really good memory too! I can't help but smile and laugh when I think of that one!
Few things in life are CERTAIN. There is so much AMBIGUITY that surrounds our lives at any given moment. As for me, I often have difficulty dealing with the UNKNOWN. This is where FAITH comes in. Having faith that GOD KNOWS and I am simply a VESSEL for Him to use to share the LOVE of Christ with others. I invite you to join me as I navigate through the ambiguity of life and draw closer to God in the PROCESS. DELICIOUS AMBIGUITY is what life is all about.

Oh my friend...yes those are good memories... we share some, don't we? And that is a lovely gift.
It took me a while to get over being sad...so I could get to the place where I can smile at the moments that still linger in my mind.
Jesus is so good to us.
I love you.
You bought a new CD? Why does this story sound so familiar? haha
