Nothing can disqualify me from how Jesus loves me. I read that this morning and I wanted to overlook it like it was saying something I have heard 100 times. Except then I heard it for today. Just for today. And I thought, you mean if I totally blow it with my bitterness today, you mean if i curse under my breath, you mean if i have to apologize to both of kids at bedtime for my lack of patience, you mean if I attempt again to control my house, my body, my family image... then still I am loved. Like still loved, like deeply loved. Thank you Jesus.

And here I am closing out the day with way less spiritual thoughts but still important notes I don't want to forget. 1. Carolina won the National Championship tonight. It was not a pretty game. Its slightly hard to feel excited even. Maybe they had Jesus too because it didn't totally seem like they "deserved" it and yes still they did. And I can't ever hate a W. 2. Hannah is really growing up. And I am delighted and terrified. She's gonna outsmart me in a second so my A game is back on plus I gotta start reading more again. I cannot miss opportunities to engage her heart. 3. When the sun is out, people are happier. PERIOD. It was a glorious day and I saw it on a lot of faces.

That marks the random thoughts for day one of our new gigs.
