Rooted

Kyle and I had the most amazing experience together at church over the last 12 weeks. I hate to even call it a "class" because it was so much more than that. We had previously been part of a super amazing marriage series called Reunion, which we started in January with five other couples. Straight from that series, the majority of us decided to stay together and continue into the Rooted series. The best way to describe this is part bible study, part doing stuff together, and all throughout learning to hear the voice of God in your life. The goal by the end is for each person to be "Rooted" deeply in their relationship with God, with a renewed confidence in knowing Him and being known by Him. It was so amazing. One of the experiences we shared was planning a community afternoon for the neighbor kids near the church. There are several apartment complexes nearby with kids who love gathering and having fun together. We did face painting, made slime, made bracelets, fed them pizza, played basketball (and my favorite, KICKBALL!), and in general just loved on some kids and were family together. What a beautiful group of people we have come to know and love. We have shared so much together, and I can honestly say my sense of purpose is greater now than when I began that journey several months ago. Thank you Lord.

You have to practice on hubbies before you get to the kids :)
