Building a LEGACY in Christ is happening all around me! People growing more and more in their understanding and knowledge of the Christ and wanting to share that with others. Daddies, mommies, and children are learning that no matter what the circumstances: GIGATTAATTGIG. I have some pictures that I'd like to share with you of some of the "legacies" that I've been a part of in the last few weeks - both in person or via technology. For those of you who have joined us for this summer's study - let's remember that it is the Virtuous Woman who fears the LORD that leaves His legacy - GIGATTAATTGIG.
.
Psalms 103:17 says,
"But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD's love is with those who fear Him,
and His righteousness with their children's children."
.
Proverbs 17:6
"Children's children are a crown to the aged,
"Children's children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children."
..
Her name is Chloe! She is our grandaughter... and many have and are leaving her a legacy in the LORD - GIGATTAATTGIG!
.
Proverbs 14:26
"He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress,
"He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress,
and for his children it will be a refuge. "

Her name is Vanessa. She is my niece! She is passing on a legacy in the LORD to her young family - through her joy... her love.... both in Virginia where they have been living and now in Colorado where they are moving. She has been a huge support to her husband who recently received one of the Pentagon's highest honors for an employee. They have family memory verses, Bible stories, and songs. GIGATTAATTGIG!
.
His name is Sean. He's a friend of our family! Sean has committed to losing a lot of weight down from his 444 lbs. He wants to be around a long time for his wife and kids. He wants to leave a legacy of power, love, and self-discipline. You can watch this brother in Christ on the show, The Biggest Loser, beginning in September. You can see him in the current TV guide or on commercials advertising the fall season. GIGATTAATTGIG!

Her name is Crystal. She is our youngest daughter! I was on the road last week with her as we headed back for her next semester at college in Michigan. When we got to Detroit, we stayed with Steve's sister and family. They have such a ministry through their home on a lake. When we arrived, the house was full of teens. Their home is a safe place for their kids friends to come and hang out. They are leaving a legacy! GIGATTAATTGIG!
.
Their names are Brian and Shawna and they even took me out on the lake! Oh, it may not be what it seems. Life is tough! They live in the Detroit area where there is no morning rush hour anymore because of the lose of jobs. Yet, they are quite aware that GIGATTAATTGIG!
.
Later we headed for their "new Sonic" where our daughters sat on their "cousin Beetles". Crystal and Brianna celebrate a rich heritage that includes dozens and dozens of cousins who join them in loving the LORD as they experience that GIGATTAATTGIG!

Here are "The 3 Musketeers"... and on Tuesday morning when the moms arrived for our Bible class and the kids were headed off to "Alpha / Omega Kids", these 3 precious girls realized that there moms had been to the same sale at Target. Their mommies didn't have to be "virtuous" and sew their clothes... they just got amazing deals... Their mommies are modeling and teaching them that no matter what... GIGATTAATTGIG...

Her name is Lauren! The amazing story of the week, is a daddy and mommy who have chosen to live by faith and not by sight! Yesterday, Lauren Schwamb was released from the hospital exactly one day less than one month from her heart transplant. I have learned a lot this year from this family about waiting on the goodness of the LORD even when it is not seen. They have continually modeled for us that GIGATTAATTGIG.
.
Lauren's daddy, Tim, shared something amazing on Facebook yesterday... then others followed with some thought provoking comments:
.
"Lauren was discharged after 33 weeks and 3 days
Cristi delivered Lauren after being pregnant for 33 weeks and 3 days."
.
.
Others said,
"Jesus lived on this earth for 33 years and
was in the tomb for 3 days."
.
"The number 3 is a complete number...
it stands for the 3 in ONE of the TRINITY."
