Next Step

Our pastor consistently challenges us to each take our next step in our walk with Christ. For each individual those steps look different. Mine might be, and probably are, completely different than yours. A step could be to publicly get baptized or get involved with your church. It is what God has laid on your heart. It is a step that deepens your walk and relationship with Christ.

This past Sunday, our sermon was titled "2013 How to Have The Best Year Of Your Life." During the sermon Perry laid out some steps to having the best year of your life. For some, I am sure these particular steps have all ready been taken. For others, including myself, a few of my next steps were listed right in front of me. Some included reading the Bible everyday (it's hard to drift away from God when you are actively in his word daily, right?), tithing, getting involved, etc.

After the sermon, Kenny and I talked about what we felt our next steps were individually. We then laid them all out and made a commitment with God, each other, and ourselves to work on taking these next steps. We are excited and pumped!

We are thanking God for where we are currently, because 2012 was a pretty amazing year for us. Tripp is a pretty amazing gift from God. However, we also know that the best is yet to come and we are super excited about that!

So, I am writing this post to ask: What is your next step? Pray about it, and ask God to lay it on your heart if you don't know. I just want to encourage you to take your next step.

Oh and on a side note, 467 people met Jesus today at Newspring. How incredible is that? I am so excited that there will be that many more people in heaven one day! It blows my mind that at one church that many people received Christ. I cannot even wrap my head around how many people met Jesus yesterday across the world. I am truly in awe of God and his greatness when I think about that.

I hope everyone has an incredible day.
