As I reflect on life as a dad my hope is that somehow through my life that others might catch a glimpse of the fatherly love of the One that I seek to reflect.
I have a beautiful wife and two great kids whom I love tremendously. I've chosen the road less traveled and am investing full time into raising our children. This allows my wife the opportunity to become an incredible family practice doctor. My hope is that someday the Lord would use me in full-time ministry, but as I write this I think that that someday is actually today and that "full time ministry" is what every servant of Jesus is called to whether that is to the poor in India, your next door neighbor, or your wife and kids. So, I'm using this opportunity to be a full-time dad as ministry training. I can't think of any more important ministry than raising your own children up to know and love God. What I'm realizing though is that my kids have a lot to teach me about life, faith, and God. I love my life. It's challenging, but so rewarding and fun. I'm blessed to have a wonderful family, but more than that I am blessed to be in a relationship with the Creator of the universe, my Savior and my King.
