Samson begins

Hey Cheryl and Jen,

It was great hanging out at the Mexican restaurant last night! This week my thoughts come from Judges chapter 13. Samson is born and an Angel of the Lord comes and talks to his parents and prepares them. I like this part "and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistins" (Judges 13:5). I thought this was cool because it doesn't say he will accomplish great things but that he will begin great things. That makes me realize that in my own life I might not have to finish great things, but maybe I just have to start them. On the other hand, maybe I just need to finish something that someone else started. The journey of my life could be more important than what I actually finish. Let me know your thoughts when you can.

Mandy :)
