Ephesians 1:4-6 NIV
4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
God has chosen us to be unique and lights in the world despite what other people might be like or say or do. we are still to be examples of shining light in the world and clear disciples of Christ whom we love and so strive to emulate. predestined. that means that we have a particular path an design set before us and honestly we just have ENORMOUS opportunity for being more.
if there's anything that I've learned tonight, it's that despite what people might think and despite my own preconceptions about a _thing_, it's highly possible for us to be taken by surprise completely and by having an open attitude, things are just SO much more prone to turn out beautifully. from what I can tell you're just great and probe to surprise us, me. and I'm content to be continually surprised. it's lovely. it brings a smile to my face oh it does. this shift is three quarters over and I feel like I've only been here one quarter. heck yeah. this is life(:
