Teachable?

One thing I share all the time with my youth is the importance of always being a student. If we desire for God to shape and mold us into His image, we need to remain teachable. Lately I have been noticing that I am not practicing what I am preaching. There are times when I do not see a teachable spirit within me. I do not dig into scripture on a consistent basis. I rely more on myself to make choices and decisions than coming to God in prayer. I want to pick and choose when I want to learn and what I want to learn, which is an arrogant attitude that has no place in the heart of a believer. If you are like me at times, that way of life will prevent us from so many teachable moments throughout the day that God has for us.

Proverbs 3:5-7 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.” To have a teachable heart, we must come to terms that we do not know it all and never will. Proverbs goes on later to say that, “He who trusts in himself is a fool”. Where does your trust lie today? Whatever is going on right now, there is a bigger reason and purpose behind it. The Creator has a lesson for you today, do not miss it!

Graydon goes to Ohio

In early May we took a trip to Ohio so that Graydon could meet my family for the first time. The pictures are of Graydon and I with his Aunt Chrissy and Uncle George and all his cousins, Graydon and I and his Grandpa, all the grandkids, and Graydon and his Grandma.

Graydon goes to N. Carolina

We took this trip in April when Graydon was almost 2 months old. This was his first time meeting Sabrina's family (except his Grandma who was there for his birth). The pictures are of Graydon with his Grandpa, Aunt Venessa and Grandma, and Aunt Kristina.
