so progress is not always easy to measure...right? One immensely difficult part of my life is finding ways to measure progress in a certain area so I don't get frustrated and quit...I am needing to learn to work through the frustration(s)...my bride depends on me, my kids depend on me...how does a man/husband/dad/church staff guy work through his frustrations and come through the process with a successful marriage, relationships with children, career of actually ministering to people and not losing sight of the purpose and mission that God brought me into, and be able to look himself in the mirror when he shaves?
Jehovah-Jireh, you know me inside and out...you have always provided and taken care of me and my family...help me to 1) hear from you, 2) trust you (requires action), and 3) rest in you...Jehovah Shalom I need your peace.
trusting that I am still a work in progress

So my dear nephew,
You look yourself in the mirror and tell the enemy to stay at bay--he is, after all, talking to a child of the KING--and trust that as you are doing all you know to do from a loving heart, God smiles. He knows your heart. How proud to see the legacy of decades of trusting believers carried on in your life, your wife, your children, Krissi and her family, Larissa, you folks..Pa and Meeamaw and the list goes on!
God DOES know you inside and out, and He knows that you are truly giving Him the best you know how to give each and every day.
I once asked Meemaw if she could go back and do things differently in raising what would she change. She very wisely replied, "Deb, I could drive myself crazy thinking that way. I just know I was doing the absolute best I could at the time. So, no, I wouldn't change anything."
Carry on! I love you man! Aunt Deb
