Most recently God has been working in my life teaching me to only rely on His word for everything. I can’t go based on feelings or emotions. Raising a family can be challenging but looking to Christ for everything is the only way to find true joy in the difficult times. Teaching and loving my children at home has taught me so much about the true love of Christ. He was selfless and gave of himself, while we were sinners! So I want to follow his example and do the same for my children. They (as am I) are in desperate need of the gospel and I have the privilege of sharing it with them every day as we play, learn, and “do life.”

Over the last couple of years, the Lord’s been working in my heart in understanding the role of what it means to be a man of God, what it means to lead my family and continually point my family to Christ. So, I really just think about what a privilege it is to be a dad and to be a husband, by God’s grace. I’ll be held accountable for where the boys are, in a sense, when it comes to their relationship with Christ and with Megan, so hopefully they will see the Lord in our marriage. I think I see the need on a daily basis that Megan and I have – how we need Christ in order to love the kids and not get frustrated with them and angry with them, and also to help the kids see their need and their hearts.
