Where I go to School... DAY 5

Sorry I didn't get to blog yesturday but my family and I have been so sick. 

If there is a time in my life that I didn't want to end it would be the time I spent in college.  I loved bible college.  Getting deeper into the word, meeting men and woman who had the same passion as I and all while working in ministry.  I found it to be a great time in my life.  I have been out of school for years and yet I am growing and learning like crazy.  My teachers have changed now, they are no longer men and woman with degrees, I do not go to a campus, I take no test nor exams, and my grade is unknown to me.  

My new school is LIFE with God.  Spending each day with God has had it's share of great joy and disappointment.  I have learned from so many mistakes and failures what God wants from me in life.  I have been getting into the word on my own and realizing what a life with Jesus looks like for me.  I found good and bad and learned from both people, churches, and non-Christians.  But I have to say that my daughters have taught me more about God than anyone I know.  I have learned what it means to love because of them.  I have learned patience and sacrifice.  I have been tempted and tried but their purity has reminded me how great God is. My wife has shown me what it means to have true forgiveness, and John 3:16 has become so real because I am a father.  

My new school is great and I learn something new each day.  May we be a people that never stops growing and learning together.  May we look at our so called ordinary lives and see Jesus in the small things.  May we learn from sunsets and tragedy.  May we embrace our new school and those in it with us...


To Natalie, Caroline and Emma thank you for showing me Jesus everyday!
