“Hello Vera Aqua Vera Vita Family!

As I write and record this it is the beginning of the three Holiest Days of the year, starting with today, Holy Thursday, leading into tomorrow Good Friday and the next day leading into Easter. This time of the year always leads me to reflect on two primary things: 1.) How well do I understand the depth of unconditional love that Jesus has for me? and 2.) How well am I responding in truly living a life that conforms to God’s will and honors the gift of love that he has given?

As such, if I am being honest, I feel woefully inadequate in my understanding and my response to the gift of Christ’s love. While, yes, at the same time I do recognize the many blessings and good things that the Lord is working in my life. However, I cannot help but feel and know that there is much more fulfillment of the Lord’s will that needs to occur in my life. These sentiments ring especially true with the work we are doing at Vera Aqua Vera Vita.…”
