Recently,
I found
out that the job in Maryland isn't going to happen. I was disappointed but God used a single small thing to change my course...
In April, my family and I came to visit my sister before she went to Honduras, but right before we left this is what happened. Yours truly received a speeding ticket just prior to the Maryland visit. Which had it's court
date was just before we left. So i didn't think it was going to be a big deal and just paid it. Well...about 3 weeks ago I received in the mail a letter from the
DMV and found out I
received a larger point value than anticipated. And then received a email from
the job stating i needed to bring my drivers license and record when I reported to work. Well I got to thinking about how this company has a "certian" number of points in order to be employed there (when the position requies you to drive a vehicle). So I called and found out the "certain" number and realized I had to many. Needless to say I will not be working there this summer. I feel bad and hope the people who tried to get me there will forgive me. It was an honest mistake. This has revealed to me that even though we make plans God is the one who is in control and He directs our path! My lovely wife is happy we will not be
separated for that time.
Although we are concerned about our finances, God will provide!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths

What does a day bring? laughter? joy? pain? Well all of those emotions are felt when your baby-girl turns 16. she is daddy's girl although she won't admit it publicly, but she is! Wow my beautiful little girl you have grown! I just marvel at what God has done in you over the last 16 years and I look forward to the next 16 and the next and the next! thanks Lord for letting me be her daddy! I love you baby-girl. -Dad
What a beautiful woman enough said! Thanks for your love and companionship over these last 15 years my love! You are simply the best.
It is very interesting to watch how God unfolds his plans and glory in our children. Alex went to Ecuador as a girl and she came home a young woman. Her attitude was changed, belief in Christ was strengthen, and her overall outlook on people, especially the children of Ecuador , has grown. Now She tries to see people as they are through the eyes of Christ. So much so she said, "I cannot wait to go back!" What a privilege it is to see God at work in your kids.
The "Boys of Summer" after capturing Bill the sand crab. They were proud of their spoils from the great beach safari. Often in life we forget the fun and the adventure we had as kids. And how God created the simple things in life to be enjoyed and thus find contentment. When we are so stressed and life seems so tough remember to be boys (or girls) again and enjoy the adventure in what God has made .
