Allowing us to love...

I am not sure how God allow the heart to love something like this. I know I have an undying love for my rib, counter part, side kick, better half, partner, best friend, soul mate.. my wife. However, I had to fall in love with her and continue to love her as Christ did the church. Charlotte is a tab bit different!

That lil girl, bundle of joy, spawn of D, precious gift, god sent present, mini Lea... my daughter, keeps my heart in knots. I love seeing her light up when I get home from work and to see my traits in her and Leah likeness reflected in her smile make me so very happy.

I thank God everyday for the two girls in my life. I am sad in advance b/c I won't be able to hold her like I do right now. She is getting stronger, and more aware of things. She is growing up fast and developing her own personality. She is so far advanced and blows me away at what you can show her one day.. and the next she can do it for herself.

I am not sure how God allow us to love something like this.

I am so amazed at God patience with hard head kids! I am living under grace and mercy b/c I know without it... I'M DONE.

I very smart lady told me to stop reading trash and pick up my bible. I am in a slump and need cadence in my life and to let go of this world and the things that are weighing me down.

Father, I repent me for my lack of obedience, reverence, and leadership. Forgive me for my every sin and wrong, and for my slothfulness and repeated abandonment of what I have been taught. Lord please don't turn away from me, renew your spirit in me... in Christ name.

3.2 million and counting.... SHOUT OUTS!

The Celebration for Helen DeVos Children Hospital Broadcast is over and a huge success again! This year production really took a lot out of me. What was a huge blessing about this year is that I felt a lot of people really kept me together, kind of like the story of Moses and their battle with the Amelek Army.

"Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. (Exodus 17)

First and foremost, this list is not everyone.. just a few special people in the GR! Thanks first and foremost to God, who continues to show his face in every single event, fundraiser, and instance dealing with my job. Then their is my lovely wife, and best friend who gave me one of the most beautiful little girls in the world. CAn't wait for the tape of the show, babe...Thank you!
