I was a little bummed to find out that valentine’s day was on a sunday, i knew i would have to work all day. thankfully though i have a loving and supportive wife that understood completely that i would not be home all day.

that being said…..Thrive was GREAT!

mad props go out to mike k. dude, that word you gave last night was spot on. i was so blown away by the love of God. it’s totally true that we fill ourselves up with this love of the world……this garbage that stains us and anyone we share it with. we are falsely led to believe that the world is the ultimate love, the ultimate fulfillment. but GOD’S love is the ultimate love, the ultimate fulfillment. He showed a love like nothing on this earth could have shown us.

He saved our souls.

and He wants us to share that love with others. a love that does not stain. a love that brings hope.

worship was incredible last night. the words “you hold me now” have constantly echoed through me since last night. it’s just a constant reminder that however bad things may get, Jesus is holding on to us as hard as He can. it was so great see the thrive nation as one voice lifting up praise to the God of crazy love.

after thrive i came home to experience the other crazy love in my life. my beautiful wife. she made me dinner (absolutely the way to my heart haha). we spent the evening simply enjoying each others company. it is so refreshing sometimes just to turn everything off and spend some quality one on one time with the one you love.

great day for sure
