Busy...

Well, as soon as the weather warms up, seems like so does our schedules. Sports, yard work, events, and so many other things start up in Spring. There are just tons of things going on! I don't know about you, but for the past few weeks I have barely sat down. With all these things going on, its easy to see where some problems would come in.
Just this past weekend, I actually triple booked. I had a youth event in Newport, my son had a Karate tournament in KY, and I had completely forgotten about our college group in Bybee. Yeah, it was a busy weekend!
When we get this busy, unfortunately many times we sacrifice the wrong things to make more time available. We give up time with family, time to rest, and most importantly time with God. We go and go and go and if we aren't careful to stop and listen, we could miss something great God has for us. How often we forget that we have access to the creator of the universe, who is all knowing and will guide us if we would only slow down, spend time with Him, and ask.

Think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths. - Proverbs 3:6

Remember to take the time to spend time with Jesus.

In Christ,

An Awesome Family...

God has blessed me with a wonderful family. My wife has always been there for me when I have needed her. She is caring and compassionate and her passion for serving God is inspiring to me. My son is so much fun. He can almost always make me laugh, he has a wonderful personality, is obedient (most of the time), and is a blessing to my life as well as my wife's. God has given me a great family.

There is another family I am blessed with that is truly awesome. God's family. The group of believers I serve with at Crossroads are truly remarkable. They call when they know I am in distress. They pray for me at all times. They are there when I want to have fun. They love me and my family. They are truly awesome. I am so glad they take the word of God seriously:

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing. - 1 Thes. 5:11

Thank you family of God. May He bless you more than you deserve. And I hope I can be a fraction of the blessing you have been to me.

In Christ,
jon walton
