My Wife

Hello all!   First, let me apologize for the lapse in time before I updated the ol’ blog. Second, I wish I could type faster.  I am trying to commit myself to blogging at least once a week from here on out.  Call it a second quarter resolution.  Ok, I believe that the last time that I wrote to you we were finishing up 2 weeks here in C-town.  Now we have been here another five and a half weeks, making it close to 2 months!  It’s crazy how 2 months can feel like 2 years.

This first week I would like to say is how honored and proud I am of my wife, Lauren.  She is the real deal!  All my life I have had the ability to adapt to change quickly, but this has been a tough one.  Maybe it’s because I have never made such a change with the responsibility of a family before.  When things get hard around here Lauren is the hand that pulls me back on my feet.  I know for a woman, it is not the easiest thing to pick up your home, family, finances, and security and follow a man who is imperfect and hard-headed on an adventure where the outcome is undefined.  But, she is so in love and in tune with God’s calling on her life that she moves on it through her faith in Christ and me.  See, there are a load of women and wives out there that say that they desire what the Lord has for their lives as long as it fits into their agendas and plan, but there is only a handful who have the faith and courage to put their money/security where their mouth is and live the abundant life.  Lauren desires to have an extraordinary life.  Not only with the Lord but with me and our family.  It’s enjoyable being married because of her. We have a healthy marriage because she knows what a healthy wife looks like and refuses to let anything strip that vision away from her.  If you ask me, Lauren is best wife, friend, helpmate, and Godly influence ever!
