Heart Check

Our pastor has been going through 2Tim2 for a while now and this past Sunday he wrapped up a series on it. I wanted to share it because it was so challenging for me (in the good way!) "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."

While driving home from our school shoot I had the best time with my business partner. Somewhere on the Grapevine and 2 am, we talked about what we're doing with our lives. They are quite possibly at least half over. We said we wanted to live our lives for Jesus - nothing more. Not the stuff, not the pursuit of it, not the ways of our pasts, not the old, but the new. We want everything we do to be for His glory, right down to the music we listen to, to the way we treat our husbands, to the way we talk in front of our kids, etc. etc.

And then to come home to hear this message....It's as if the Lord was preparing me. Funny how that works!
