HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!

S.O.A.R.= Spotlight On A Relationship
Soar: To rise or aspire to a higher or more exalted level.

Someone described the fullness of Joy in this way. Being full of joy is like filling a balloon with water. The balloon is full of water long before it reaches its capacity. You can always experience more joy and still be full of joy. Krista brings me joy. She has always brought me joy and the day we got married, I was full of joy....then she became a mother. Now, I have even more joy because I am able to see in her every single day what a great mother looks like. She is wonderful. I love the way she loves my daughter. The relationship between them is incredible. I think Miriam likes to be held by me but when she is really upset, she wants her mommy. This doesn't bother me, I like the fact that Krista is such a good mom that she is the only one that can Make Miriam feel better. Daily, Krista challenges me to be a better parent. She does this by the incredible relationship she has with Miriam. I am glad that today, can be one day our nation chooses to recognize this relationship and provides me with another excuse to brag on Krista.

Life and Livelihood



This morning was the very first Sunday I worshipped with the Mesquite Church of Christ as the Children's Minister. We experienced such a warm welcome. Several individuals invited us to their homes for lunch, worried that we might be celebrating mother's day by ourselves. It was interesting this morning as, in a way we felt like visitors (this was only our second time worshipping with them) but at the same time, we knew that now this is not only our church family but also my employer. Church as been such an integral part of my life since I was born, now it is not only my life but also my livelihood. I am excited to see how this changes things. This morning, several people already began asking me about different projects and things they would like my input on. I think I will likely hit the ground running this week.
