Wow. Blogging has totally taken a back seat to family, life, and ministry. I guess its time for updates and such, and continuing to post - Its just one of those super busy seasons in life when you buckle down and just focus on what is MOST important. We've all been there. When pressure is on, priorities rise and take their rightful place in our lives. For Ashley and I, lately, it has been raising our 2 year old, 5 month old, and managing our ministry. Here is a run down of the past couple months:
No sleep.
Changing diapers.
Pacifiers and burp cloths.
Early mornings, late evenings.
Tivo.
Caffeine addiction increase.
Making ends meet.
Trusting God in all things.
Vision casting for ministry.
Building teens in ministry.
Budgeting in life and ministry.
Traveling and speaking.
Building momentum, then rebuilding momentum in ministry.
Trying to stay warm, trying to stay healthy.
Seeking direction.
Ear aches, runny noses, and ER visits.
Gaining perspective.
Re evaluating.
Re caffeinating.
Being shocked by how quick the calendar is moving this year.
Trying to stay a step ahead.
Can you relate to any of this?
Through it all here are the words I've held on to:
Matt 6:33-3433 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Priority first, and all else falls in line.
And over our ministry and life, this is what I've been speaking and praying:
Jer 33:33'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
I'll be the first to admit I don't know it all or have it all together. Thank God that HE does, and is ready and willing to guide us.

I can totally relate and I also appreciate your candor when talking about priorities but I am also glad you've posted. I always enjoy reading your blog and hearing the point of view you give. It's good to know your kids are doing good. Keep up the good work.
