This is a movie that we have seen…twice.  it is called Lord, Save Us From Your Followers.

Each time i see it, it reminds me that we are to be LOVE to the world. How else will people around us know that we have the LOVE of God? If we repel people by offending them instead of loving them where they are what will make them want to come to God, who is LOVE.

I think about my story and how i got into church…i was a rebel, i was angry. I smoked, drank and cussed like a sailor. I had no reference for what was wrong or right in church or as a “christian.” No one had told me. It was a make it up as you go situation. But there were people, to whom i am so grateful for, who came alongside me and LOVED me where i was…and for who i was then. They knew that if they could encourage me to get closer to the God of LOVE that the different things in my life would begin to line up with scripture.

Had they have sat me down and attacked me i would have been so turned off…and to be honest i would still be turned off. I sent this tweet on Friday and i stand by it

“Don’t get me wrong I love Gods truth but if you say it in a judging manner and not in love I don’t want to hear it.”

There is a difference in speaking the truth in love and speaking it with judgement. LOVE compels you to improve while judgment causes you to back off and turn away.

So, i have a two part question….and would love your thoughts….

1.  Is it christians that are turning people away from God with their actions, words and judgement?

2.  As a christian, what could you/we do better?

Hey guys. I would love if you helped a friend of mine out. She is awesome and her name is Mallory and i love her…and she is engaged to a great guy named Eric.

They made this video to be a part of Project Wedding Birmingham, AL. If they win they will get a complete wedding…how amazing is that?!?! anyone who has planned or paid for a wedding knows that it is insanely time consuming and expensive and this would be an amazing gift for them.

The way they win is for you to watch, rate and comment on their YouTube video. it is about 2 minutes and super cute, they are really creative. and it will help you get to know them a little bit more….

So, if you could watch the video, then go to their YouTube page and comment and rate the video…it would be AMAZING!!

How cute are they?!

Sunday night Chad and I stayed with Chance while Jenni and Brian were at the hospital with their other son Paxton.

during dessert Chad decided that he should teach Chance spanish…and this is what we got.

i want you to give it a try…just push play and listen for about 4 minutes…you may be surprised.

so…what did you think?  too painful?  or decently surprised?

well, we have almost been married for 2 years and i have realized that i have not shared any of our pictures….

so, for those of you who want to see them here is a video. The pictures were done by the incredible Zach and Jody Gray with Gray Photography. If you are looking for a wedding photographer i would highly recommend them. They made this nifty little video for us. And almost 2 years after the wedding i am still glad i went with them…and i love my pics. (sorry for the promo)

So here it is….
