Life has been busy with writing messages, worship stuff, running my delivery biz, and a family of six that is always on the move :-)
Life can get by you so quickly if you let it.
My marriage has seemed to stabilized into a pretty great situation. We still have moments of struggle, but we get through with out the explosions and fireworks we use to see. Being a dad still has it's challenges. Four kids - four stages of life - four perspectives on the world, and our job to help center those unique views on Jesus and love. Discipling your children is so much more challenging than a friend, co-worker, or stranger. I know God will take these kids the distance. Hopefully they will experience life to a greater level than the struggles and wrong choices me and my wife have made.
I have amazing friends that I don't see often, but when I do, it's always fun. One couple blessed me and my wife in a difficult time recently. Sometimes you get to see who your real friends are simply when your on the ground and look up and they're there with a open hand to pick you up.
I recently got the opportunity the preach at our church for a couple weeks. I really enjoy doing what I'm made for. My business pays the bills and I find ways to enjoy it, but when I get to study the Word and share with others...... I know I am making a difference. I don't really care if people were entertained, but when someone says they were able share what you taught with someone else and it made a difference.....that's so good! Changing the world one person, one idea, and one conversation at a time!
Things should start slowing down here soon...... I'll be able to take a couple classes and go on a vacation with the family.
Life can get by you so quickly if you let it.......but I'm going to soak it all in :-)
Psalms 39:5-6
Look, you have made my life span fit in your hand;
It is nothing compared to yours.
Surely every person at their best is a puff of wind.
In fact, people walk around as shadows.
Surely, they busy themselves for nothing,
heaping up possessions but not knowing who will get them.
