Spring has Sprung...and Verse 6

Well, so far this daylight savings time thing is eating my lunch...  Here it is 10:30 and no one has had breakfast yet.  (And The Staff is off this week so no breakfast in bed for me.)  Oh, well, we'll just eat in a little bit and call it an early lunch.

I've got some exciting stuff planned for spring break, including but not necessarily limited to, the following:

• The office closet floor needs to be unearthed from a couple of weeks ago when I told Sam to push a bunch of stuff in there to get it out of the way.
• The parts of the desk that I can see are covered with dust.  Aha!  There's a reason to not clear off the desktop.
• Weeds.  Everywhere.  Although according to Jack, a weed is just a plant growing in the wrong place.  Is it still the sin of pride if your pride is what actually makes you finally weed your flowerbeds?
• I've never completed the room-switching-over-process from a few weeks ago.  We got Sam moved into Michael's room, but never fully got Michael moved into Josh's room, meaning Michael's clothes are in various places all over the upstairs, which is challenging since he is the boy who actually likes to wear clean clothes everyday.

Whew, I don't know about you, but I don't think I can stand much more excitement.  I'd better be careful or someone will video all this mayhem and call it "Moms Gone Wild: Spring Break".

Well, let me share my verse and get on with it.  I'm memorizing Phil. 3:12b (NASB), "I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus."  Bob Mumford used this verse in The Agape Road in talking about becoming a Father-pleaser.  God had a THAT in mind for each one of us when he formed us, called us, and laid hold of us.  Made me think of that scene from City Slickers...you know, the ONE thing.  Don't remember it?  Why not?  It's only a 20 year old movie.  What can I say?  I don't get out enough....  I'll work on getting some more current movie references.  In the meantime, you have a THAT...a destiny and purpose that you are called to fulfill.

And on a similar note, we had this prophet dude in church yesterday who talked a lot about God the Father and intimacy with the Father, which is exactly what The Agape Road is about.  I think it's so cool when God repeats in church what we did in class.  It's like He's saying, "Can you hear Me now?"

Y'all have a great Spring Break.  Can't wait to see your verses.
