Well I used to think that raising Kids was going to be the most important thing I would ever do. Before any of you were born, I thought be good and loyal to you Mom was the most important.
I really have felt God "working" to bring me around, to mold me to who he wants. I am gauging this because I am noticing more and more things. I am also gauging this because He has brought someone into my life that has challenged me to grow. Even though I have been busy with work, you kids, remodeling the house; I have felt challenged not only my Mike but by God to take things "to the hoop" so to speak. To break out of my comfort zone. Not to be a Secret Agent Christian:) - I always thought this was quite and it describes me when I was scared and made excuses for not being open about my faith.
So what is the most important thing I could do? That would be to continually give God the glory and to seek to know him better. I have came along way from who or where I used to be. Sometimes I think I have done it all on my own, but I quickly see that I would have failed if it was for his hand in the matter. I am called to be an effective witness to the work of Jesus Christ. I have been seeking God, but what I have found out was that I really haven't been. I was merely finding ways to justify myself. Since we found out about your sister diagnosis, I have found God has been searching for me....for all us. For no one seeks God, but he seeks us. What a relief!
In raising you kids or being a husband to your Mom, its about what I do not about what I say. What I say is important though, but not as important as what I am doing. Thank God, I have been given the opportunity to raise you up.
