Perfect Fit

So if you've been part of Discovery for the past few weeks, you know that we've been talking about being "done with the 'UN'" and instead of being UNfulfilled, UNhappy, UNsatisfied or UNengaged, we're challenging people to find their SHAPE and do what God designed them to do and gave them unique and specific the Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality and Experiences that make them the perfect fit.

I love that God made people different.  In fact, I think that should be one of the things we celebrate in the church instead of criticize - diversity and uniqueness.  We don't all need to look the same, think the same, dress the same or even believe the same (about peripheral things at least).  And for the love of everything good and holy, we don't need to all read from the same bible translation....come on!

Anyhow, I took a few pictures over the last few days and noticed that my kids are definitely unique.  And I like that so we encourage them to express themselves - even if we don't personally like it.  I heard it said once that if your kids behavior isn't a form of rebellion, then back off.  That's why my kids do these things WITH MY APPROVAL!

Here's Sarah, dressed as a Princess (Snow White?) and 
holding her 'prince' (toad - that she actually kissed)


Yep, that's Tyler, 25 feet up in a tree.....READING A BOOK


And Tanner...he wanted a Mohawk....well....fine
