Ordained Growth

It’s been way too long between posts.

Life is just busier and busier. I find myself trying harder and harder to slow down. God is growing me more and more, day by day. And, day by day, I’m stronger. It’s amazing to look back at where the last two years has brought me. Amazing. Awe-inspiring to me. I’m so thankful for an amazing God, filled with grace, love and freedom, who loves me through all of my growth opportunities. He truly is all I need.

I am so incredibly thankful for my wife.

Quite simply, through all, she’s amazing. To think about the HUGE journey that she and I have been on together is just crazy. No words. Again, God is so good to us. We literally have no one to thank for our restored marriage except Him. How someone could look at our entire story and even think of saying that it’s because of anything but our God is just insane. It is clearer than ever that he still has some amazing plans in store for us that are even yet bigger than ourselves. Thankfully, he is revealing more to us, bit by bit as we grow.

God has instilled a confidenceĀ of this in me that is unspeakable, and I’m positive that he has huge plans for me very soon, and in the meantime, will continue to grow me exponentially. Lysha and I have an unbelievable happiness overall, to the point that we both have to pinch ourselves. Quite simply, we know that it’s freedom. It’s freedom to follow Jesus, who is the ultimate example that we’ve seen over and over.

It’s freedom of religion. Thank God for freedom. For, religious freedom is an oxymoron!
