I love being a dad. In fact being a dad has changed me in profound ways and I believe will continue to change me for years to come. There are theological truths that God continues to instill in my heart daily because of my role as a father. Many truths one can read and understood, but others have to be lived and experienced.
One of those truths is God crazy desire to love me despite my broken condition. In the midst of my broken heart and desire to follow the idols of our culture God is constantly leaning into me and asking me, "I need you to listen to me." This is not a rule or a command, but a deep desire for my heavenly Father to speak truth and grace into my heart. The difficulty comes in listening and responding.
This journey of being a father is filled with awe and wonder for Kennedie and Sawyer, but has filled me with a deep awe and wonder of my heavenly Father and now I will continue on the journey of listening and responding.
