Today is Valentine’s Day.

If you’ve followed me for the last few years, you know how little I’ve cared for this fake holiday most of my life… but I have to say, this year I feel different. I finally am beginning to understand what LOVE really means and unconditional love feels like. It’s been a journey. One I plan on trekking the rest of my life.

Of course Valentine’s Day landed on a Sunday this year. Why not, right?

Today’s worship service was about OUR impact in the world. Our Sunday Setlist:

  1. God With Us – Bart Millard
  2. God of Wonders – Marc Byrd & Steve Hindalong
  3. How Great Is Our God – Chris Tomlin
  4. Our Great God – Mac Powell & Fernando Ortega
  5. Sweetly Broken – Jeremy Riddle
  6. Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) – Chris Tomlin

Matt talked about Matthew 26 most of the time.  He even played Brian and my Proposal Video to make a point about love. He ended the sermon with the parable of the talents. As he was reading these verses, he handed out envelopes with different amounts of Church! at Bethany’s money to each and EVERY adult attender present. Matt put feet to his message. He challenged us to double, triple, quadruple what he gave us within seven weeks… by EASTER.

I’ll write more about that in a post later this week because I LOVE this concept and want to put more time into what I have to say about it.

Highs: Today’s service felt full and purposeful. There’s nothing worse than “just another Sunday” and today DEFINITELY didn’t feel like that. The music portion went well… mostly because it felt like everyone was really participating and worshiping God together. Everything felt much more connected this week… and that’s always a plus. The best part was getting to talk to so many different and new attenders after the service. It’s all about connection and sometimes I miss out on that because I’m so busy tearing down.

Lows: Aside from thinking about my sweet friend, Alli, all morning, I’m just feeling a little off… tired really. My monitor kept cutting in and out so I just unplugged it after the first song. It’s about time we unpack the trailer and do a full inventory of our gear. It’s probably also time to either repair or dispose of some of our broken equipment. Just thinking about that makes me tired too.

Now… to you. TWO QUESTIONS:
1. How was YOUR Sunday (link if you must)?
2. What do YOU think of Valentine’s Day?
