happy one year anniversary

So it's official.... I have been at St. Peter as a "Called DCE" for exactly 1 year today! So much has happened in the past year both ups and downs. I can see so much growth in myself in the past year. I don't really have the foundest memories of my installation service... honestly it just made me and my family upset and many others but I do remember that night. I was given tickets to go to a Rivercats game (which by now we all know is not an unusual thing in my life) and my mom and dad and I along with Grace and her mom and sister all went to the game. We had some awesome seats and had fun hanging out. After the game there was a Lincoln Brewster Concert.

That concert felt more like an installation than the service did. There was one song that played that Grace and I just looked at each other, hugged each other and put our arms around each other and re-installed each other. It has become a theme for ministry and how we should be living our lives! I would like to the song with you today.

LOVE THE LORD
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
And with all your strength (2x)
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
And with all your strength
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your mind
And with all your strength
I will serve the Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And with all my strength (2x)
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And with all my strength
I will serve the Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And with all my strength
I will love You
I will praise You
I will serve You, Lord
I will trust You, Lord
And with all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And with all my strength
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all my strength
I will love You Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And with all my strength
God bless your day, your ministry whether in a church, an office, a camp, a home...wherever... and may you Love the Lord with your all!
