So over the last week or two I have been reengaged to the blog world. A few friends have started blogs, which of course lead me to looking at my own. From there has now led to here.... writing a blog which I haven't done in a very long time. (blogging is weird because it's not like the world is reading this. its just my close friends for the most part so why don't I just tell them what I'm going to write instead of write it. Not sure....)
But this is going to be simple, maybe short and I probably won't write another thing on here until my son or daughter is born in August when I post pictures.
I started updating my "about me" a little bit ago which got me thinking about Lauren (my wife). We have been married a little over a year and a half now and it has been the most wonderful relationship in my life! Lauren isn't only my wife, but my best friend!
When I look back at my life Lauren has played a major role of who I am. My view of life and who I desired to be I give credit to God, but Lauren's Godly relationship has played a major role in that.
A verse that has stood out to me lately is Philippians 1:27 "Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ."
I want more than anything to let my life be shaped by Christ and for my life to be worthy of the gospel! And the reason I love Lauren so much is because my main desire is the same as her's.
At any moment I truly believe I could tell Lauren I think God is calling us to Haiti or Africa or maybe even worst of all in her case of staying right here in America; no matter what she would be on board. We run the same race! We desire the same God and want to live a life worthy of Him.
Lauren, you are a wonderful blessing in my life and God has done amazing things through you to make me who I am today!
Lauren is 4 months pregnant and although very tired has not quit or desired to quit once of where she feels called most by God. I thought being a swim coach was going to be a rough thing with being pregnant for you, but you have continued to battle the tiredness and sickness to be an amazing dedicated YoungLife leader and coach. I was amazing at your respond when you were offered the track coaching job. Your heart for serving God here at Dixie has encouraged me so much!
I love you, Lauren!
