being real

Today I am blown away with how much scripture my 5 year old has memorized so far this year. She has memorized more than me this year. That is kind of cool and kind of sad all at the same time.

Lord, may the Word that is being planted in her not only stay in her mind but also invade her heart so that she can draw from it and grow in the future.
My wife and I are praying, what to do for school for our five year old next year. The options we are weighing are home schooling, half day kindergarden, or all-day kindergarden at a pretty neat charter school.

Lord please give us direction and make it clear to us.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfall;
all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

Psalm 42: 7
As I read this tonight I recall a time when I stood under a waterfall. The one then I remember about it is that I could barely stand under the power of the water. The same goes as I once walked out into the Mediterranean Sea. I could barely stand up against the power.

“God, allow me to let go and allow your waterfalls and waves swept over me and carry me to the places you want to go.”

Here is the beginning of a new blog for me. I have another, however so many people I know in person read my blog and it has prevented me from writing things that are deep within my heart. I hope I am able to be real on this site. I hope I am able to bounce ideas off this site and wrestle with the things that are happening in my life. As a minister of the gospel I often feel like I need to guard myself and pick and choose what I want to share and with whom. I am hoping this will be a place where I can share my joys, my fears, my worries, my frustrations and my dreams. I hope I can be the real me. I don’t think this site will be very flashy, but I hope it will be real. Thanks for listiening.
