Life

I started a journal today for Hailey. In it I put things I am thinking about, things she is doing and interested in and how she is impacting mine and Amys life. It is also to give points of wisdom and encouragement and to tell her things that she is too young to understand just yet and most importantly to tell her about my relationship w/God. A friend of mine told me about doing this for his child and I thought that it was a great idea.

I am so thankful for all of the wonderful Christian friends Amy and I have. We have been so abundantly blessed and sometimes forget in the midst of the daily grind how much we really do have to be thankful for. It only seems like yesterday that we started going to the church but feels like we have known the prople for a lifetime. It is a special thing when a man is able to have 1 true friend but to have as many as I do is a blessing from God.

Today in connect group there was a new person there and I wasnt sure who he was until later someone said his last name and it shocked me because I knew him in high school and we hung out in the same crouds. I knew his wife pretty well and right now he is going through a pretty tough time. We have so much in common, I kept thinking about it in service today and thought that I need to reach out to him if only just to be a friend to listen and maybe give some advice also, so I spoke w/him and got his number. God brought him to this church and our connect group today for a reason. Please pray for Ron and his 2 children, they are going to need alot of it!!!
