Right foot, Left foot

I'm working on this challenge for my students [and myself] called b90d- reading the Bible in 90 days [it's optional for the students, but it'll be cool to see how many take it on]. This challenge is similar to the one Elevation Church is doing with their leadership team, and I thought it'd be cool to do with the kids. I've been typing up the assignment list this morning, and I just hit the book of Luke.

Now, because I already found one typo, and because i had zero hours of sleep last night, my brain said "Luke 1:80? EIGHTY? Luke... really?" [Luke apparently had a lot to say]. Then I got curious and looked it up, because that's what I do- I assume everything has a greater significance than what's on the surface. And you know what it says?
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel.
It's about growth- about stepping into your own, taking a step with your right foot for God and then your left. It's exactly how I feel right now. Just like JC, I'm growing and becoming strong in spirit- I'm coming into my own. It's like when you have a baby with big ears- at some point, the baby will grow into them [okay that's a bad example]. Anyway, the point of this is to show you that my God is pretty alright alright, speaking to me in the twilight of my mid-coffee mind.
