"God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life, that I may burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like You, Lord Jesus." - Jim Elliot

so incredibly blessed


ok, so yeah, I don't do this blogging thing very often. I'd like to start doing it more but am usually just too lazy and/or forgetful.


I wanted to take a second tonight though and tell everyone how incredibly blessed I am. I am married to the most loving, beautiful, wonderful woman and I am totally undeserving of her. I love how much she loves to be with her sons, I love how she wants nothing more than to grow up into Godly men. I love to watch her be "mommy" to them both. I love her for the fact that she is willing to follow me and support me literally to the ends of the earth. I love that when I having one of "those" days, she encourages me and tells me that we are going to make it through. I love the fact that even when I feel like the biggest screw up in the world, she still sees me for the man that God is making me into. I love the compassion that she has for the world around her. I love that she can read about a complete stranger and feel their pain and lift them up to the heavenly Father. I love that she can see the love that I have for children I met in Africa and she can love them just the same. I love that she desires to be an example of what a Godly woman should be to every young woman out there. I LOVE the woman that is my wife, my angel, my best friend, my partner in this journey, the mother of my children. Thank you God for giving me something far greater than I deserve.


Always & forever
