Cancer Story
Every once in a while you see a story like this one. I have often told Kisha it is my hope that I would respond in such a way if I am ever in a situation like this. We'd all like to beleive our response would be similar but we have no way of knowing for sure. To God be the glory!

Father's Day
Well….today is the BIG day for all of the dads out there. While it is great to be honored I am honored and humbled to be blessed with such a wonderful family. There are many out there not capable of having biological children and yet the Lord chose to bless me with FIVE! It’s busy at our house but I wouldn’t have it any other way. God gave me such a wonderful mate to go through life together who is also a fantastic mother to our children. What more could I ask for?
Each of the children is so unique. It’s amazing to watch as their little personalities begin to shine through and of course their purpose will also begin to be unveiled. What an overwhelming responsibility it is to think we have a huge hand in ensuring they are well equipped to accomplish their purpose. Only through His grace, love, and wisdom do we even have a chance at getting this right (well…at least kinda right).
I am thankful for my father as well. I know there were many years in my life where he wasn’t there but I’m so glad he chose to reconnect with me in my teenage years. There is something special about knowing your dad is thinking of you. Best of all, he is a fantastic granddad. I sometimes wonder what he must be thinking. Five grandkids from just one of his kids. No telling how many more he’ll have after we adopt and after my sister starts having children.
Most of all, I am thankful for my heavenly father. Despite the fact that I could never earn or deserve his love He chooses to give it.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there, especially to my own dad and most especially to my HeavenlyFather!

Been a long time.....
I keep telling myself I’m going to blog more regularly and then life happens and I never get around to it. I’m going to try to start back up starting today. It’s summer so things are REALLY busy at the house and it’s also “Q4” at work. I find myself fighting for my schedule, trying to allow for breathing room just to go to the restroom between meetings on some days! It’s easy to get distracted and overcommitted and then forget to make sure the first things are first. That’s the daily struggle. Putting and keeping God first both in my heart and in my schedule. I’m doing okay there but I could and should be doing better.
Right now I’m really thinking about Romans 12. What are our giftings? Am I using those for Him? Are there gifts I’m not using at all? Who should I be serving with those?
