Big-Deal-Day


So. This is it.  A big-deal-day.  Madelyn’s home day.  As I write this . . . Tricia, Troy, and Madelyn are in the air . . . making their way home from China to Oregon.   Family and friends will be at the airport when they touch ground, celebrating the life God has planned . . . a good life . . . actually a big-deal life.   The thing is . . . life can’t get better . . . than the way God has planned it. 
It seems to me that we often doubt that God has planned the best life for us to live.  When we do trust God, engaging in his plan . . . we discover that there is more than what we could have ever imagined. 
Joshua sat for years in the second chair, serving Moses, the revered leader of God’s people. Imagine how he felt when the people turned around and treated him like a really big deal: On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; so that they revered him, just as they had revered Moses all the days of his life. Joshua 4:14
In the eyes of God . . . you and I are a big deal . . . his beloved . . . created with exact thought and detail.  
Created to experience joy . . . love . . . hope . . . we are on a journey that moves us forward . . . into something more  . . . what God has planned. 
There is a way . . . to live a life that is more than can be imagined . . . to experience the way God has planned.
It is a big-deal-day.
Experience.
Celebrate.
. Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . a big-deal-day,
