One of my gifts for Christmas this year was a little brown book titled, "My Ultimate Bucket List." I love making lists, setting goals, and adding to my bucket list every year. In fact, it is the first thing I do every January. I always have my lists checked off, I usually have reached my goals from the year before, but most often it takes years before I scratch something off my bucket list.
Last week, however, I was able to scratch something off my bucket list that I will treasure for years to come. I was able to visit the International Disability Center and actually meet the very people I have looked up to for years at Joni and Friends. My visit and my time with them was incredible. I will post a few pictures but they can't even touch the surface of how powerful the message is the minute you walk in the IDC building. I will never be able to communicate how much respect I have for the staff at Joni and Friends. I am just a volunteer and yet was greeted by every staff member and enthusiastically thanked for being part of the ministry.
I met so many great people that love the Lord and the people God puts in their path. I have never spent time with a group of people that love their neighbor more than they do. They are humble. They are excited. They are full of joy.
I am still on a journey to determine what God is calling me to do for the next 20 years but I couldn't have better people walking this journey with me. Thank you, Eric Jones! You made this happen and have been a great leader to follow.
