Parenting in Light of Eternity

We have been reading “You and Me Forever – Marriage in Light of Eternity” by Francis and Lisa Chan with our couple’s growth group. It is an amazing book that is available for free at www.youandmeforever.org. Like in his previous books, Pastor Chan shares scriptural truth with an eternal perspective that makes you want to tear down every idol built up in your life. The book gave me a very different..

We hot!

Today was the big day. We moved to Washington aka Seattle for Giana. The girls were amazing and resilient. We had to use a few tricks but the 3hr plane ride was alright . So far we have been able to solve a lot of really challenging situations. Seattle has thrown a few early punches at us. Anywhere from almost not being able to get our rental car because my..

Manly nesting

Sarah has been nesting at an unbelievable rate. She has been sorting, washing, organizing baby clothes, making sure we have everything we need for the baby’s arrival. Also prepping and freezing meals for later. I already feel tired just thinking everything she has been doing. While my list is mostly focused around housekeeping and home improvement, I have gotten to do some fun and creative projects. Regaining kitchen space: Our.. Read More

Just can’t wait

I cant wait to meet our baby girl, but I am also loving the wait and working for her. Last weekend Sarah and I assembled the crib, it just makes the new stage in our lives feel more real. I have loved getting to know Sarah again during our pregnancy. I cant wait to get to know her as a mom. But until then I will keep busy working on.. Read More

Train, Train, Train…

I can’t help but look up and thank God for his mercy and love towards me. First He gifted me the perfect wife, and now he gifts me with a new life quickly growing in her belly. One of my favorite quotes is by boxer Joe Frazier. He said: “You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the.. Read More

I often stare at Sarah and she catches me she asks “what?” and I often reply, “nothing, I love you”. But in reality I try to escape how amazing my wife is to ask  “Lord what have I done to deserve Sarah?” God has gifted me a wife who: Loves and Trusts.. Read More
