There are not many grand moments in life, even though this moment, this year was one of the grandest, I know that after this year we will hardly live life in those grand moments. We will live in the utterly mundane. This used to scare me but then I looked closer to these mundane spaces that we exist in.: the bathrooms, the bedrooms, living rooms and the hallways of life. This is where the character of our lives is set. This is where we will live a life of faith. And that my friends makes me even more excited, because we get to make these mundane spaces into grand ones. We are the next generation of mountain movers. We are telling the story that has been laid down as foundation long before the earth was made, and ushering it into the revolution it was always meant to bring.
Here is to us, may we forever be in awe of the creator and all he does. May we be present and fearless in the things that matter and may we always live in the vision of knowing the Father and knowing the son, serving one another in grace and honoring one another in love and always keeping our eyes fixed on things above. We serve because he sends us. We love because He loved us first. We are because He is.
We're pilgrims on the journey of the narrow road and those who've gone before us line the way. Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary. Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace. Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us run the race not only for the prize but as those who've gone before us. Let us leave to those behind us the heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives. May the fire of our devotion light their way, May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe, and the lives we live inspire them to obey.
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone and our children sift through all we've left behind. May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
...
Oh may all who behind us find us faithful.
