In a day where people hate their jobs, relationships, financial situation, etc.  I can’t help but say, I LOVE my life!  I’m quoting two young men who have a lot of fun in life, Sam and Lake (S-DOO and L-DOO).  ”I LOVE MY LIFE!!!”

Here is a list of reasons I love my life:

-Jesus. He gave me true LIFE. Life eternal. His Holy Spirit lives in me and gives me His life.  REAL life.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE!

-Last week was Dominion week at TheLink.  We unleashed 30 new youth leaders into the city and school, just in time for the school year.  Can somebody say HARVEST!?  Dominion was full of vision, Holy Ghost, connection, salvation, and DODGEBALL haha.

-TheLink is SOOOO GREAT!! I love them ALL!! 

-2 birthdays this week back to back! One of my BEST friends, Jessica Sears turned 23 and we had a great day with her! The next day was my sisters birthday and she is the BEST!

-Speaking of my sister, I love my family. I love her and her 2 boys, Dominique and Isaac!! I love my mom and my dad!  (Trying to talk my mom into a hawaii trip by the way….PRAY ha).

-I leave for L.A. Tuesday. That’s Exciting!! I have never been to California. I’m stoked

-I love my church, Cornerstone and Pastor Shawn. The whole staff and people are GREAT! Shout out to Neil!

There are so MANY MANY other reasons I love my life. Most of those are just recent things. The biggest reason I love my life is because Jesus saved my life and redeemed it eight summers ago.  I love His love, grace, mercy, kindness, faithfulness, joy, etc etc etc…  I haven’t had the easiest life or even past few months, but living the Life of God has changed my whole outlook on life. You can really find joy in the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Instead of being led just by circumstance, you can be led by Truth.  Led by the Word of God.  Circumstances and facts change, but Truth never changes.  Paul had been beaten, persecuted, imprisoned, stoned, left for dead and much more, yet listen to what he says in Philippians 4:11-13,    

“Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily whether I have much or little.  I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.  For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.”

Jesus shows the Way, the Truth and the LIFE in every situation.  Jesus created life or is the Author of Life.  Jesus is the resurrection and the Life. He redeemed Life!  He made a way from death to Life.  This is Good News!  Jesus lived life to the fullest with the oil of joy on His life without measure.  Jesus on earth was so full of life, people flocked to Him in multitudes, like a magnet!  Jesus was so full of Life while walking on earth, that sickness left, demons fled, and the dead were raised.  If you want to experience true Life, experience the Author of Life, Jesus Himself! Your life will never be the same.  Then you can join the DOO crew and I in saying…

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!!!

Enjoying LIFE,
