Happy Fathers Day

Today is Fathers Day. My first Fathers day (even though Jadon won't come into the world until October). Looking ahead I wonder how good of a Father am I going to be? I am so blessed to have an amazing father that has always been there for us kids no matter what. That has put God first in our family. I remember growing up and waking up early and finding my dad making coffee and reading his Bible everyday. My dad worked hard to provide for the family, but is wasn't how much money he made. He put following what God had planned for him. It was never easy, I know for him, and sometimes for the family. It was all worth it though and He continues to follow God's lead is his life. I hope that I will be this kind of Dad. A dad that sacrifices for his family, that will lead his family in the path that God has laid out for us. That I will be a loving Dad. A dad that seeks God more then anything else. A dad that provides spiritually.

I am so blessed to be apart of an amazing community of Believers at Desperation Church. There are so many men (fathers) at our church that have shown love, sacrifice, and their life experiences that have brought them to where they are today. I feel like not only do I have one father on earth and one Heavenly Father, but I have dozens. That I have men to look up to. Men that are only a phone call away if I need something. I hope and pray that I would be this kind of man of God, that I would be this kind of Father and husband to my family.

Happy Fathers day to my incredible dad, and all the other Dads that are leading their families in the way that God is calling them.

Seems like one of those... few Months

So Today being Friday it started out as any normal Friday. Then got a text from me wife that Her Grandma was not going to make it. So it has been a very emotional day for family. All the Memories I have of my wife's Grandma are all full of love. She spent her whole life loving God and Loving others. She went out of her way for others and ask for nothing in return.

Love has been on my mind a lot lately. What is love, what does love look like, and looking for Love in everything, and everyone. it is amazing to see God's love in every simple thing, all the way up to the big things. You see love in Friends, Family, strangers, and much more. Sometimes love is to hard to describe. The more and more I feel Gods love inside me, flowing through me it is so much different then the love we see and feel in our relationships here on earth. As we is flows in us and out of us to others we start to see it all around. In His creation, in others. it is funny as I am writing this I am watching Star Wars, I think of the Force and that it is everywhere and in everything. Like Gods Love it is everywhere and in everything. I think that we see this when we are open to what God is trying to show us. I strive everyday to live a life that is full of His love and is pleasing in His Eyes. I see others doing this, and it is encouraging. We are not alone, we all want something more something more then religion, more then tradition, more then just a Church Building. They want something they can't fully describe. They want His love, I want This Love.

Love its contagious Spread it.
