JADDOG

Last week I was able to attend CFUnited in Washington, DC. I keep meaning to blog about the event but it never seemed to happen. I was pretty unhappy about not blogging. This evening I had a chance to reflect on the event in a way I didn’t expect. Last week’s purpose was to remind me of the unconditional love and care I have for my wife and son. I have to admit my initial reaction to arriving in DC was to enjoy a change of pace away from them for a few days. Though by the end of the trip I realized how much I missed them. I had a chance this evening to let my wife know how much I appreciated those times I get to go on a trip with the boys and that those times put my love for her in perspective. This evening I was reminded that a short change of pace for a day or two gives me perspective on how much I enjoy being married to my wife and how much I enjoy being a dad. My prayer is that my leadership in my family would reflect Christ’s Humility as Philippians 2 teaches. God continues to change me. I’m thankful that my wife reminds me that I need that change constantly. I’m thankful that the changes God is making will make me a leader that spurs my family on to serve Christ.
