What is your life verse?
I am thankful for the truth of God's Word that molds and shapes us into Christ-likeness. Is there a passage of scripture that has led you to life-change in Christ?
I would say for a while now I have two different passages that have been my life verses.
The first passage is James 1:19-20.
"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every personbe quick to hear,slow to speak,slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God."
God continues to show me that being a good listener reveals a Christ-like heart. Many times I am caught up with a task and miss the importance of stopping and actively listening to others. God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason! This verse has revolutionized how I deal with people, conflict, and relationships. It is a reminder to me every day that living in humility and grace produces a life that points others to Jesus.
Secondly, Philippians 3:7-8 is a life verse for me.
"Butwhatever gain I had,I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because ofthe surpassing worth ofknowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake Ihave suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ."
My life in ministry stems from this verse. The most important aspect of life is fulfilling God's specific call upon a person's life. Life is not about fame, popularity or success, but it is finding worth in serving Jesus Christ over all else. I'm reminded often of His grace that set me free from my sin and self and has called me His child. What an honor it is to serve Jesus above all else in life. There is no greater aspect of life than following after Christ.

What a day!
Today was a beautiful day to live in Florida. It was beautiful outside and so me and Cassidy decided to head to the beach. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying time together. Our one year anniversary of our engagement is on Valentine's day. We went to the exact beach where I asked her to marry me! I'm blessed to be married to such an awesome woman of God. She amazes me every day by her love and desire to serve Jesus. "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies." Proverbs 31:10
Check out our pictures from today's fun outing to the beach and Cassidy's pedicure.
Let me know what you think of the pictures?

I've been busy lately and haven't had much time to blog! God is doing a work in my life and is teaching me to continue to trust Him. I'm pumped about Valentine's because it is me and my wife's anniversary of being engaged! I'm so grateful to be married to an awesome woman!I thought I'd post a video we shot for our churches "Relationships" Series during the month of February. Enjoy!
