I turned 26 on September 1st. It was a good day for me - full of facebook birthday wishes and happy birthday songs being left on voicemail.
The best part of the day for me was probably when I decided to take a journey. I decided that I wanted to embark on a journey of reading the bible chronologically in one year. I don't know that I've ever read the entire bible. I know there's so much that I have yet to discover.
I am going to try to blog about it as much as possible. Partly because I want to remember the things that stand out to me and partly because I want to be held accountable.
I have invited someone to take the journey with me so that I have someone to answer to. I really want to do this.
I will write a summary of what I read soon.
Thanks for taking this journey with me.

New Season
We've entered a new season of our life and I must admit... it's probably my favorite so far.
Adeline started pre-school a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loves it. We pray for her teachers and all of her friends every night before bed. She's learning a lot and it's helping her get into a routine. Rhonda McConnaha runs the school with her good friend and long time business partner Kathy Urban. Miss Rhonda and Miss Kathy are amazing teachers!! Adeline has a new best friend at school - her name is Lilly. Adeline shows signs that she holds the gift of "helps" and shows a lot of empathy towards the other kids. She also shows that she is a little bossy and likes things done a certain way. (We knew both of these things before pre-school, but it's really fun to watch them develop even more.)
The other day when I took her, we started to walk in the door for the morning and SHE put her hand on the door (before I could get it open) and said "WAIT! WE DIDN'T PRAY!" I only knew what she was talking about because a few days earlier, Ryan and I were dropping her off together. Right after he got her out of the car, he hugged her and prayed over her and her day. It was amazing to me that she already took this very seriously.
She has memorized Hebrews 11:1 and Hebrews 4:12. It is amazing (and quite adorable) to hear a three year old quote scripture.
I officially started my new job at Starbucks today. Ryan's official last day is next week sometime. We are believing more and more every day that this was the right move for our family and are getting more and more excited to see what unfolds. We believe there are going to be opportunities for God to receive major amounts of glory for the things that He is doing and the things that He is going to do.
As far as the family as a whole, it feels as though we are each really starting to take our places. We are all really starting to understand the concept of being a family who is on the same team. Ryan and I laugh more now than we ever have and are more in love than we have ever been. Adeline is a blast to be around. She is vibrant and full of life. She has SO much personality - it is absolutely unreal. She really is three going on thirteen.
I am more excited than I could begin to express about the season that our family is in. We love where we are in life, we love our church, we adore our friends and the people who have been placed to walk this life with us.
I can honestly say that I never knew family life could be this liberating. We are discovering something new about each other every single day. We are in this new season and more excited than ever to see what each minute brings...
With love,
Team Vinson
