Now, when’s my next conference in LA again? =)

1. I woke up in the morning to about 5-6 inches of snow (in Dallas, in March, on the first day of spring!). We had a white Christmas this year and now a white birthday! Hoping that I don’t get any white hairs though.

2. My kids all gave me cards and each of them had money in it. That’s a big deal because my kids love MONEY. Kailey gave me $20! Emily gave me $20 too! Nathan gave me $1.27.

3. But, not only was today Sunday, in which I get the privilege of sharing God’s Word with a congregation that I love, but they threw me a surprise birthday party after our second service. It was just fun to share that moment with the congregation and I didn’t see it coming.

4. Then I was scheduled to have a birthday dinner at a pastor’s house but they told me they changed the venue and it was at another house. To my surprise again, they had more people, including pastors, staff and leadership. They all cooked some great food and dessert and we all were so stuffed!

5. Then they brought out another surprise … a huge framed poster of a mosaic picture of our family that was compiled by all the picture of the events in our church for the past 3 years. Wow. And the whole church signed it … without me even knowing about it! It’s got to be one of the best gifts I’ve received. The only problem with this gift is that I have a huge dilema of whether to hang it in my home office or my church office. Can I have another? =)

6. I have been waiting all year for my birthday, as I have been looking forward to giving my annual one days wage to an incredible non-profit organization called OneDaysWages. They partner with some great organizations to fight extreme global poverty. I know giving 0.4% of my annual salary (one days wage) is not that much, but I want to share and be a blessing to others, as I have been so blessed. I would challenge you to consider doing the same on your birthday.

God, thank you for my family and my church. I am so blessed. May I be a blessing to others.

Besides the fact that they were a little similar to one another, I noticed something in the language that they used. For my youngest, most of the things that he wrote were things that he was NOT going to do, where as for my oldest, most of the things that she wrote were things she WANTED to do. And maybe that’s because we internally know that it’s not just helpful to stop doing something, as much as it is to start doing something. That a bad habit or behavior needs to be replaced with a good one, or it will be hard to quit. But there’s another thing that I noticed. The younger the child, the more definitive the goal was, but the oldest one started almost every resolution with “try.” And when I saw that, there was something that I identified with. Because the older you are, the more you know yourself, and the more you know that every year, you want to change, but it’s difficult. And so, instead of making any definitive promises, we say we’ll try it, if we make any at all.

It was a reminder that as we get older, we don’t believe that we can change. And it was a reminder that we can only change by the grace of God.

Lord, please give me the wisdom to believe that I can change and the courage to actually change.

Today, I found out that they made another version, very similar called “I’ll Need You” and included it in their new IgniterVideos Volume 8 and guess who’s on the front cover of the DVD? Yep, that’s my Emily! This video also has a clip of Nathan and Emily, except it doesn’t start and end with my kids. Maybe that’s why I like the first one better? =)

Well, both are done very professionally and emphasize an important theme that our kids need us, especially in their earlier years. And we have this video for my kids to show their friends and tell them that they are famous … but more importantly, Kathy and I have this video to remind us that our kids need us to point them to Christ, when no one else will.
