bday girl
sometimes when your birthday is too close to other holidays, your pictures can be lost in the shuffle... but even though she's now 7 1/12.... this was a fun celebration for jackson. we went ice skating, which everyone loved and had her friend sleep over... what made her want to go ice skating? how was she so confident that she would be able to do it? and that she wanted to spend her birthday there? what is it about jackson that gives her such joie de vivre? (does anyone know if i spelled that right?) God has blessed us with an awesome little 7 yr old... can't wait to see what she does for him in the future...

freedom in a promise
i had a fascinating discussion with my aunt today. we were discussing marriage and what that promise entails. we discussed the idea that when entering a marriage, a person might be concerned that he or she might "lose themselves" in the other person...
two thoughts crystallized as we discussed this more.
first of all - i think that when you are less about "you"; you are the closest you can come to your best self. to be about others is to enhance the best version of who you can ever be. Christ gave all of himself, for us to have life that is abundantly full... His greatest command is to love one another. If loving one another is what he, who gave his life for me, is asking... and his promise is abundant life - i am crazy not to do just that - all of him, none of me.
secondly - the promise of marriage is a freedom. when you are not in a permanent binding promise, one or both can elect to leave without certain discourse. the legal, and spiritual covenant of marriage offers a security, a freedom, if you will, to be more of you than you have ever been when the potential for leaving was hanging around in your subconscious -
consider these thoughts... what do you think? does it make sense?
