For many of the people I meet, much of their happiness and/or negativity is birthed from how they look at life. Fortunately, I’m a glass is half-full kind of guy and cannot believe life is as amazing as God has allowed it to be. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been a part of some awesome things…

Chloe’s First Snow Day.
I was able to get out and play with my daughter Chloe in the snow for the first time. The joy she had was overwhelming. We built a snow fort and threw snow at each other. Total Kodak moments. I will cherish the time we had to spend together for years to come.

Hampton Roads Churches Respond To Haiti.
The earthquake and devastation will takes years to rebound from. As a church we not only decided to take action, but partnered with 7 other churches, the local Jeep Club, and military outlets to get this thing together. 4,500 pairs of shoes and tons of supplies later, we were overwhelmed. The shipping would have been in the thousands of dollars- so we rented a Uhaul and drove it to Soles4Souls headqurters in Alabama. 26 hours round trip. Amazing to watch the love people have for others through Forefront and local churches. Just awesome.

Snowed In Sunday.
At first, I almost took a turn for the negative, but our leaders came together and made a pretty solid decision and it went well. With the most snow the 757 has seen in almost 20 years, we opted to keep people home safe and attend service online. While we believe that a constant diet of online church is not healthy and online is no substitute for the church family to gather together on Sundays- it went extremely well thanks to our great team of volunteers who made it happen (in my living room of all places).

All in all, God has allowed me to be a part of an amazing family, a wonderful church, and a community of people who I want to share life with. How about you…

“How is God moving in ways that you are extremely thankful for?”
