Happy 39th Anniversary Mom & Dad!

Today, two of the most important, amazing people in my life are celebrating 39 years of marriage; my mom and dad!  Congrats mom and dad on 39 amazing years of being blessed by God!  My mom and dad are and have always been everything that a mother and father should be.  My sisters and I were raised in a home filled with unconditional love and amazing support from our parents. 

I've been amazingly blessed to see the love story that is my mom and dad's unfold and it is one of the greatest blessings God has given me.  They've taught me so much about what love and marriage look like, love like, and live like.

Thank you mom and dad, you've taught me:

1.  That love is commitment and a covenant, not merely feelings and emotions.

2.  That marriage requires hard work, sacrifices, compromise, and perseverance.

3.  That "I love you" and "I'm sorry" are phrases that should be spoken frequently and meant with all of your heart.

4.  That it is possible to put someone before yourself but after God and that you lose none of your identity in doing so.

5.  That unconditional love and serving one another is always best.

6.  That faithfulness, honesty, integrity, and honor, while in short supply in many places, have always been prominent in your lives and marriage.

7.  How to know what to look for in a wife and how to treat her and love her once we're married.

8.  How to raise children with love, integrity, and faith.

9.  That it's never too late to let God do the amazing in your life and marriage.

10.  That God's Word is true when it says "all of my days were ordained before one of them came to be" (Ps. 139) because there is no doubt that God made you for each other and intended for you to walk side-by-side, together, through this life.  You're celebrating 39 years of marriage but you've been together for 49 years!  Wow!

11.  The greatest lesson you've taught me through you're marriage is what a God-honoring, God-fearing, Christ-lifting marriage looks like.  You love Jesus, each other, your children/grandchildren, and your family and friends with amazing love.  There's nothing you wouldn't do for us and your love for us has always been a reflection of God's love.  It was very easy for me to know that God is real and to trust in Him because I saw Him alive in each of you and in your marriage.  That's the greatest gift you've ever given me.  Thank you.  You've shown me that you're not perfect, but that you trust in the One (Jesus) who is.

Words cannot express the love I have for you and the pride I feel when I tell people that you're my parents.  You've always been my biggest cheerleaders and in my corner for everything.  It is my honor to carry your name and be your son.  Thank you for all that you mean to Michelle and I and for the AMAZING grandparents that you are to Clarissa, Elizabeth, Alexa, and Trey.

May God bless you richly with many more years of marriage and continue to grow and give you a love for each other like nothing you've ever experienced.  I love you.

Monday Morning Quarterback (evening edition)

Enjoying the evening at home with the family and reflecting on the last couple of weeks.  Been a while since I blogged:

1.  Been a great last couple of weeks.  Vacation was great and Youth camp was amazing this past week.

2.  Church yesterday was AWESOME!!! Kicked-off our new series: God At The Movies and it was a lot of fun and life-changing!

3.  Several people received Christ as Savior yesterday and we baptized 3 people!  I also had the thrill of baptizing one of our students at Youth Camp! 4 baptisms this week!

4.  Our creative elements for our new series were OFF THE HOOK! Set design looks awesome, videos were amazing, and we even had a concession stand with pop-corn, pickles, and cokes!  Congrats Joaquin on the popcorn maker!

5.  Felt great about the message yesterday.  Preached on adapting, surviving, and thriving during transition and change.  Had planned on preaching about Joseph, but God called an audible and I preached about Joshua's journey from Numbers 13 & 14 to Joshua 1.  God moved in a powerful way, wow!

6.  Was great to see some new faces and some old friends yesterday!  

7.  Youth Week @ Alto Frio was phenomenal!  What an amazing week with our students and with 300 other students from around the state.  My good friend Josh Tapia was used by God in a powerful way to reach tons of students and impact everyone.  Josh and I were made honorary members of Team Impact.  Josh also does one of the best Joker impressions I've ever heard!  You should hear his explanation of how he got his scars at camp!

8.  So proud of our students and our student leadership team.  Joaquin Ochoa, our Student Minister and his wife Jessica, along with the element team are some amazing leaders.  They are being used by God in a great way to pour into the lives of our students!  Our students are PHENOMENAL!!!

9.  Enjoyed being able to lead a seminar on finding your identity in Christ with the Middle Schoolers.  Was very impressed with them.

10.  This was Clarissa's first camp as part of our Student Ministry and I so enjoyed seeing her experiencing it.  Will never forget it!

11.  Can't wait to head back in about three weeks to Alto Frio with Michelle as I will be the Camp Pastor at Camp Emmanuel!  Can't wait and I'm very excited about what God has given me to share with the students that will be there!

12.  Week before camp, had some great vacation time with the family.  We stayed local and went to the Island and had a great time there.  It was Trey's first time at the beach and I will never forget his reaction to the sand and ocean when he saw it for the first time! wow!  Had a great day at Schlitterbahn--the kids had a blast and when they have a blast, I have a blast.

13.  Tough to hear about the details emerging about Steve McNair's death.  I loved that guy.  He was the last quarterback the Houston Oilers ever had.  Saw him play in the House of Pain (Astrodome).

14.  Enjoyed playing 9 holes of golf with Clarissa this morning.  She cranked a drive 200 yards with a 3-wood!  We were inspired by watching Tiger win his own tournament yesterday, the AT&T National.  Dad and I were there last year and it was great.  Congressional Country Club is a prestine, traditional, amazing golf course.

15.  Really looking forward to speaking at Surge Forward this October in Fort Worth.  This unique and powerful conference is the brainchild of my good friend Bobby Minor.  He's done a phenomenal job putting it together and I know God is going to do the amazing with it!  Find out more about it here.

Hope you have a great week!

Stories of LifeChange

Cornerstone Church exists to REACH UP, REACH OUT, and REACH IN.  While that may sound like a catchy slogan, for us it is our all-consuming passion:  to glorify God and the celebrate the life-change He brings.  It's that simple.  We exist to point people to Jesus and we get the thrill of seeing Him radically change their lives in amazing ways.  I was reminded of that when I was reading the blog of one of our members.  I was blown away by her heart and ability to express the change that Jesus has made in her life, her marriage, and her family.  I've asked her permission and I'd like to share with you some excerpts from a couple of posts she recently did.  Enjoy.

Post #1:

"Like the late great Martin Luther King, Jr. said “I have a dream”…….. well many dreams really. It’s funny though, I think a lot of us are forced to put those dreams on hold. I was one of those people. I graduated from Colorado State University  in 2001 with my Apparel Design and Merchandising Degree. I had a job lined up with Club Med to be a costume designer for their stage shows. I would remain at a Club Med location for six months and if they liked me then I could travel to another Club Med location. This was all a dream come true until my monthly bill never showed. I’ll never forget the day I was in the bathroom at my parents house staring at the dreaded “+”. My life ended and began all in the same day.

I could choose path “a” or “b”. While plan “a”  would surely take away my freedom, at least for a good eighteen years, plan “b” might bring me freedom but be accompinied by a lifelong heartache…. I’m glad I didn’t choose that one. My mom used to always tell me, “watch out girl, if your not careful, your past will catch up with you”. I hate it when she’s right!

Well it did, my irresponsible and careless past caught up with me. And instead of living the single life on white sandy beaches with bronzed international hotties, I soon was then heading to monthly checkup’s at the OBGYN. I don’t regret my decision one bit, not even for a second, not even when I’d find playdo and goldfish crackers in my underwear drawer, and not even when magic marker art became a wall collage in the living room. Time and marriage then followed and naturally, what was once one led to two.

Yesterday I was blessed with yet another meaning. At church we had a child dedication service. This dedication was more of a prayer. In this prayer we, my husband and I, chose to dedicate our children to Christ. For they are still young and cannot therefore fully understand what it means to accept Jesus Christ or to ask for forgiveness of any sin. We prayed that when they came to this understanding that they would do the same as we, ask for forgiveness, believe Christ died for our sins and fully accept him into their lives. Until then we as parents promise to teach our children about Jesus Christ and raise them according to god’s word and grace.

Our pastor then presented the many children participating in this dedication with their very own, personally picked to suit them, bible. My heart will never forget the look on my six year old’s face when he took that bible, shaped like a treasure chest with a funky metal clasp in those hands. Those hands, at that moment, I remembered once being so little. I was so thankful for that blessing standing there on stage with my little punk nuggets. Thus, a new indescribable meaning.

Since we are not perfect, we will heavily rely on Jesus’ guidance in our times of question, in our times of frustration, desperation and all of those feelings that we feel as parents, (that again I won’t mention).

I say that last little statement light heartedly of course, with a big smile on my face.

I was just remembering earlier this weekend after returning home from a date with my hubby to find out my four year old decided to give herself a haircut……. this is the fourth time!

Aaaaahhhh, the joys of parenting."

Post #2:

"I don’t care what anyone says… god does amazing things. But he does it according to his plan and timing not our own.

Since completely surrendering my life to Christ in October of 08′ my life has been nothing but a whirlwind of change. I have learned how to pray and how to keep on praying. I seek Jesus Christ every single day, sometimes four or five times a day for his help, his strength, and his guidance. I ask him to continue to change me to be more loving and understanding like him. To this, he always answers.  Since I have sincerely been doing these things god has blessed and healed my marriage. He’s changed and blessed my children in so many ways. The other day we took my daughter to get her ears pierced for her birthday. My six year old son went outside the store in the mall and got on his knees to pray for his screaming and scared sister. He later helped her pick out some nail polish and she was all better.

He has healed various situations that almost tore apart my family. He’s blessed me financially and he has blessed with some much needed wisdom. And everyday I wake up a little different from the day before.

Everyday I grow just a little bit more and realize something I had not the previous day.  Every single day I am able to let things go that have caused me strife in the past and everyday I’m able to forgive and be more understanding. Most importantly everyday, I learn to humble myself just a little bit more to ask for help with the things I struggle with.

Now you might say, “well so do I”, “I wake up different everyday”. As rebuttle, I should ask “do you really?”, “do you wake up and treat a situation or person different than you did before? has your attitude changed about a specific topic where you have become more open minded to other views? do you notice the small things in your everyday behavior that can be changed to make you better?

If you answered yes to any of those questions above, I believe someone is trying to tell you something.

Whether you believe it or not, God is waiting to bless you. He waits to bless you with love, kindess, patience, understanding, wisdom, and whatever else you ask……

but you must:

“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it’s own” Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

8 months ago I never thought I would have the peace I do going through the storms of my life. Yes they have been difficult but I was carried and given  strength. I NEVER thought I would have thought I’d have the guts to write about my faith in Jesus Christ, on the internet no less, available for the whole world to see… but I do now.

God is truly amazing!"

Thank you Jasmine for sharing your heart and your journey.  I had the thrill and honor of baptizing Jasmine a couple of months ago and it is amazing to see what God is doing in her and her husband Nels' life!  You can follow her, Nels', and their family's journey at www.mashupmama.com.  You'll love her thoughts.  Thank you Jesus for life-change!

 

Memorial Day Thoughts

"Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." -John 15:13

Memorial Day is all about sacrifice.  The greatest sacrifice that one human can give for another, their life.  Today I'm full of pride, joy, and gratitude for all of our amazing heroes who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. 

As the son of a Viet Nam Vet (US Army), and the grandson of a World War II Vet (US Navy), I'm extremely proud of the greatest fighting force on Earth, the United States military.  Last summer my dad and I had the opportunity to go to D.C. and visit all the different memorials.  It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.  We visited the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and of course, stood at the Viet Nam WALL.  Very solemn experience and the respect and reverence at each memorial was powerful.  We also visited Arlington National Cemetary and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is guarded 24/7/365 and witnessed the changing of the guard.  Awesome experience.

Thank you to all who gave their lives so that we might live in freedom.  FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! THANK YOU!

Tuesday Night Insights

Sitting here chillin with the family, watching the Biggest Loser finale.  Been a great couple of days and been reflecting on what God is doing.

1.  Amazing Mother's Day weekend at Cornerstone!  Wow.  We had an amazing time lifting up Jesus and honoring all of our moms.  Moms are an amazing reflection of God's love.

2.  We witnessed 7 people experience new life in Christ!  Absolutely amazing to see God bring life-change!

3.  Had the thrill of dedicating to the Lord, 8 babies/children during our services!  Awesome to see parents and families step up to declare their faith and commit to raising their children God's way.

4.  Loved wrapping up the message with a challenge from Joshua 4.  Challenged our folks to create spiritual landmarks for their children of God's faithfulness, love, and purpose.  As parents, we not only need to create memories for our kids, we need to create spiritual landmarks that remind us of what God has done and what He will do.

5.  Our student ministry knocked it out of the park with a fundraiser for their summer activities on Saturday.  Thank you to all of you who helped out on that day and to those of you who helped our youth by participating.

6.  Pumped up about things that are happening this summer!

7.  Pumped about our students heading to Youth Week @ Alto Frio in June.  It will be Clarissa's first camp experience!

8.  Pumped up about speaking at Camp Emmanuel in Leakey, Texas in July!  Love that camp!

9.  Pumped up about some things we've been talking through and praying through as a staff.  God is up to some great things!

10.  Pumped up about some creative elements we'll be using during our new series.

11.  Pumped up about our new series WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION that kicks-off this Sunday!!!

12.  Warning! Warning! Warning!  If you're a "professional Christian" you're gonna hate this new series. :)

13.  Rockets getting stomped right now. Not cool.  :(

14.  Excited about the messages God has given me for this series.  Locked and loaded and ready to go!

15.  MY WIFE IS AMAZING.  I ADMIRE HER FAITH, HER RESOLVE, HER STRENGTH, AND HER DETERMINATION. 

16.  Read some amazing blog posts last night by a member of our church.  ROCKED MY WORLD and reminded me of why we do what we do.  Do I need a reminder? I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'm glad God does remind me through amazing stories of life-change!  Hopefully I'll have them up soon.

17.  God has been blowing me away with the book of Joshua lately.

18.  Other than the Bible, been in a real reading funk lately.  Can't make sense of it.  I usually devour books, but I've been having a hard time lately.

19.  Very pumped up about starting Dave Ramsey's FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY for our community and church this summer!  Preview meeting this Sunday after our second service!  FPU kicks-off on June 2nd!

20.  Had a great time with my Community Team at the RGV Dorados game last night.  The Dorados are our local Arena 2 football team and it's a great environment.  Some fast-paced action and some great hits last night!  Some of the best ones were with the walls!  Best part was my dad joined us!

21.  Really learning the lesson right now between the difference of working "on" your ministry and working "in" your ministry.

22.  Really pumped up about a couple of pastors/church leaders that I've connected with that we'll be joining us at Cornerstone over the next couple of weekends.  Looking forward to connecting in even greater ways.

23.  Heard on NFL Network today, 88 days till the Hall of Fame game. :(  Really?  Can't we just start football season next week?!!!

24.  Saw Colt McCoy and Mack Brown on ESPN yesterday.  Have a VERY GOOD FEELING about my HORNS this coming season.  :)  Also realized that next to mine, Kirk Herbstreit has the best job in the world!

25.  I love and am blown away by the amazing folks we have at Cornerstone.  Your service, your heart, your attitude, your love... BLOWS ME AWAY!

26.  Re-organizing our offices right now.  "Efficiency" and "structure" are code words around our office right now.  I'm not the best at that, but we're getting there.  I have a date with a gallon of paint and a roller manana! 

That's it for now... good night and God bless.

 

 

Are Leaders Born or Made?

"Are leaders born or made?"  That's a question that has perplexed many leaders and thinkers throughout the ages.  Some would say "born" because there are definitely some great "natural born leaders" out there.  Some would say "made" because it can be modeled and taught.  There are many great leaders out there who learned under someone and adapted what they learned to their own leadership.  Then there's the "fence riders" that would say, it's really a little of both.  Pick a side already!  Just kidding, because in reality, LEADERS ARE BOTH BORN AND MADE.

God recently directed my heart to read, study, and meditate on the book of Joshua.  Wow, talk about a study in leadership.  From an early age Joshua showed an aptitude for leadership.  The greatest leadership quality I believe anyone can have is FAITH.  Faith in the vision God has given you, faith in your God-given abilities, faith in the people around you, and most importantly, FAITH IN GOD.  Faith ushers in God's presence and its God's presence that makes all of the difference in quality leadership and a quality life.  Joshua was a great man of faith.  When Moses sent out a recon patrol to scout out the promised land, Joshua was only one of two of the twelve man patrol that said, "take the land, God is with us".  The other 10 cowered at the sight of the enemy.  Joshua apprenticed under Moses for 40 YEARS!  Think about that! He sat under one of the greatest leaders in all of human history for 40 years!  Joshua was a great warrior, Joshua was a loyal friend, and when it came time to step up and lead God's people no one would have doubted that he was up to the task because he had "leader" written all over him.  

Yet it was this verse that hit me hard in my spirit:  "The LORD told Joshua, 'Today I will begin to make you a great leader in the eyes of all the Israelites.  They will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses.' " -Joshua 3:7  NLT  By all accounts, Joshua was a BORN leader.  There's a reason he was chosen as the leader to replace Moses.  It is God however who MADE him into a great leader.  And you see, that's really the key.  You can be born a leader, but it's God who makes a leader truly great and effective.  God's presence, power, purpose, and passion are what set great leaders apart from the herd.  God always sees it first, develops it in the heart of those who are willing, and then He reveals it to the rest of the people.  What God already knew about Joshua, the Israelites were about to find out.  

Natural, raw leadership ability will only get you so far, it's God's presence and power that take you to heights and places most leaders never see.  Joshua went from being a part of a 12-man scout patrol to LEADING OVER 2 MILLION OF GOD'S PEOPLE!!!  How was that possible?  GOD MADE HIM INTO A GREAT LEADER.

It is GOD who gives a leader his/her credibility, vision, influence, passion, productivity, and impact.  IT IS GOD WHO MAKES GREAT LEADERS. 

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Today is my beautiful daughter Elizabeth's 8th birthday!!!  She is our second oldest and is one amazing girl.  Elizabeth is such a joy and it is awesome to see her growing into an amazing young lady.  She is the animal-lover of our family and is loving the kitty that she got for her birthday.  Daddy, not so much.  She named her new kitty Lily.  I've got a couple of other names for her. 

Thank you Jesus, for my beautiful Elizabeth.  Happy Birthday my beautiful girl.

 

UNCERTAINTY

 

       

I can't begin to tell you how jacked up I am about Easter!!!  This is the greatest weekend of the year for the church and a time when tons of folks who ordinarily might say no to an invitation to church will say YES!  It is an opportunity that God gives you to PARTNER WITH HIM TO CHANGE LIVES!  This Easter we're kicking off a brand new series: UNCERTAINTY!!

It seems that chaos is all-around us... there's talk of recession, lay-offs, and bailouts.  There's news of shootings, border violence, and war.  Things don't seem so bad when it's something you see on the world news, but its entirely different when you start to feel it at home.  How do you find peace in the middle of the chaos?  How do you make sense of things when it seems like they're spinning out of control?  That's what our new series is all-about.

Make sure that you're here for one of our three services on Easter: 10:00, 11:30, or 1:00 and make sure you bring a ton of people with you because God is going to do some truly amazing things as we kick-off our  UNCERTAINTY series this Easter!  Who are you inviting?  Who's life is going to change forever?  Prepare yourself, be ready for God to do something amazing in your life!
