Work In Progress

Still working to streamline this blog...like shrink this pic! Also, Hil took some photos of Irelyn I need to add! If you want to check out a sweet blog, go to Hilary's and of course look at Irelyns pics!

On being a new dad, the biggest thing I've noticed is that my time is not my own, esp. as Irelyn seems crabby most times she's awake. But today I caught a peek at a smile from behind her "passy" and those two little dimples are beautiful! Can't wait to see more of those, and a little reminder this will be time well spent.

Renewed motivation

I am recently inspired to work on completing my book, write multiple lyrics, and research the process of publishing my wedding song and potentially my book and other songs. Who knows where God will take this, but I think God has given me material worth sharing

I want to have a deep satisfaction in life because of God in which I wake up each morning glad to be alive just because I enjoy it. I was made to

My emotional temperature tells me I am not here yet. Two days ago I ran a transaction for an elderly gentleman. I felt envious of him: envious of his age, envious of how much less of life he had to suffer through, envious of how close I could be to heaven if it were me. I know this is not normal.

Currently I am on the inside of that barbed wire, but I understand that just behind those thorns of pain a consuming glow of the sun and the cross of thorns promises me I'll be on the other side someday before heaven, not longing to be in my latter years, but soaking up what God allows me to experience in the now.

Being Candid

Here is what I want from this blog if I keep up. The hope which keeps me going is that of the ultimate goodness of God and how that plays/will play out in my life. This doesnt mean every post will be of spiritual nature. But I hope this to be of enrichment in those connected, and for me to track God's working in my life
