Sanctivacation.

I can officially say I have been to Washington State. :)

This past weekend we were able to see our Family: Jack, Erin and little miss Emery Paige. Ryan and I have such a special place in our hearts for this family. They love the Lord and boy are they intentional about showing it. It was such a great thing to watch and see. It was something that Ryan and I have had many discussions about since we have gotten back. We are learning about how to be more intentional with our individual relationship with God, each other, and other people that we come across. As we were flying back on the plan I ran across this verse that pretty much summed up our weekend.

Romans 9: 19. Paul writes, "I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you one presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification."

Sanctification is a word that I haven't really taken seriously. It means "becoming more like Jesus." Ryan and I learned A LOT about ourselves, our relationship and about Jesus which has push us to re-examine our lives to become more like Him.

Thank you Jesus for putting people in our lives that love you.
