odiorne point

What a beautiful day! We went to the beach with Rachelle and her boys. We had a picnic lunch and then headed right for the water. We all enjoyed it so much. Drew has a little rash on his face from the sun block. I, on the other hand, have a burn on my face from lack of sunblock! (Matt warned me that even if I felt cool from the breeze not to forget the sun could still be burning me.....)

I was listening to Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Much of You" this morning. It was appropriate as I looked at the ocean today. The first verse and chorus:

How could I stand here

And watch the sun rise

Follow the mountains

Where they touch the sky

Ponder the vastness

And the depths of the sea

And think for a moment

The point of it all was to make much of me

Cause I'm just a whisper

And You are the thunder

andI want to make much of You, Jesus

I want to make much of Your love

I want to live today to give You the praise

That You alone are so worthy of

I want to make much of Your mercy

I want to make much of Your cross

I give You my lifeTake it and let it be used

To make much of You

I needed that perspective change. Funny how easy it is for me to think it IS all about me. I have an amazing God and I DO want to "make much" of Him!
