This is The Day

This is The Day, 10.30.13

Dear Levi,

My mom’s birthday and Bailey’s. Two sweet, selfless women who have chosen to invest a friendship in me. I am so humbled. I wish you had a mom like mine. I wish I could be a friend to you like Bailey.

The sermon tonight was Proverbs 2:1-10 but Pastor Gaddis preached on not giving up on God. On seeking likea  treasure hunter- he shared the fascinating history of Mal Fisher, the world’s greatest treausre hunter who in 1985 discovered the Alyosha Spanish galleon loaded with Spanish silver voins and Columbian emeralds. It brough him 456,000,000$. He had been searchign off the Florida keys for sixteen years for this ship that went down in 1665. He became famous for always saying everying morning all those years, “This is the day.”

It was so convicting, so inpsiring.

The galleon existed. It required planning, effort, time and immeasurable faith.

I wish I had faith like that.

I can’t give up on you. Not when God keeps making the opposite painfully clear. Not when God leads. I’m just going to have to keep praying. And beleiving. That today is the day, little Levi. I hope you’re ready.

Your star,

Rigel
