35 turns 36

Had my birthday yesterday.... Turning 36...

Been an interesting year, and allot has happened over the past year.

So points of interest.

1. See my previous post for the big addition to the Family
2. I have become much more comfortable in my own skin. With God's help I no longer have to mask my emotions and can just be genuine about how I am feeling.
3. I have gained a much better understanding of the path God is leading me on. I have a feeling I will pursue some sort of way to teach. May be the ministry, may just be bible studies at church or elsewhere.
4. The relationship I have with Christ today continues to strengthen everyday. Just like any relationship it takes work and communication.
5. We live in a messed up world that we were not meant to live in. We were meant to live in perfection. God's grace gives us the hope of salvation.
6. I have come to understand that people that live outside the bounds of a righteous moral God because they don't want to accept something greater than themselves. Sin boils down to selfishness, and trying to have the pleasures God gives us outside the provision of God.
8. Hide the word of God in your heart. You never know when you are going to be in a place where you don't have access to the bible. Then need the comforting words or something to say to someone who is seeking or hurting.
9. God's will is Good, Pleasing and Perfect. Who are we to question or challenge him. Just ask Job....
10. God is God, we are not.. He is I AM.....

Favorite memory verse:
2 Cor 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that we may become the righteousness of God.

Well the past week has been busy...

If you are wondering why I haven't posted much this is why....
God has blessed my family with another arrow in my quiver. I just pray that God gives me the ability to raise this new little man.

Here is a picture of both the arrows that I have to aim... Sometimes I wonder why I am blessed as I am to be a Dad. I sometimes do not feel qualified at all. The nice thing is I know God my Father will be there to guide me.

I love them both so much, and pray that they see Christ in the way that I raise them...

I love them high, I love them low, I love them deep, I love them wide.. I love them, I love them...So Much...

Eph 17b-18 And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

Psalm 127 4-5 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.

5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

BABY DAY...

God, this is a day for you to take control. Let your light shine on the Dr's and Nurses as they deliver our new baby. Your will is great, perfect and pleasing.

I am so excited, as is my wife. I will post some more later...
