Steps :)

Our new house has steps and already they are making memories. Oh how I have missed California but steps are important in life and they are crucial or you get stuck in a rut. I've been trying to avoid ruts and that's one reason why we moved to Md.  We took a huge step I think it was more like a mountain than a step. I feel like I personally walked away from an amazing church family and avoided an amazing rut. In this past weeks sermon I heard a missionary say that "Go" is not the commandment in "The Great Commission" but the commandment was to "make disciples".  In the Greek term "Go" it means "in your going" make disciples. How do I translate this information? This means to me that when I am going through life I should be developing new relationships and not only bringing people to the Lord but discipling them all a long the way. In the same Sunday we were looking at defining discipling we did this in Sunday school.  Discipling - to invest oobers amount of time in someone so that they may in return go and do it for someone else all in the name of Christ. I think one of the reasons why we had to move was because I was to comfortable. I look back and I realize that I was to comfortable putting all my focus in to the Church. I am a mission minded person and I haven't been acting like it. I should have been getting out of my comfort zone and getting involved in my community. I should have found someone outside of my church to invest time in.  So I'm stepping out!

          Robert is dreading our steps. He has 2 hernias and they are at the very bottom of the triangle at his groin. It's painful to do everything but lie down. The steps are only making them worse. Rob has made some headway. Is he worried about the Lord providing while he is laid up? No! another huge step.

       To end my note I am going to tell you that there is no other feeling like when you're hanging out on the couch and you look up and your baby is going bumpity bump down the stairs. Jason who is 17 months old had figured out how to open his bedroom door after his nap today. He was coming down the steps on his butt because his legs are to short. I started hearing the thump thump thump from his diaper covered bottom.
STEPS!!!!
