wow! what a special day this is turning out to be... :)
as of this moment the wife of one of the men i really look up to is laboring her first baby. i was riding home with armin the other night and without him telling me, i could sense the anticipation, the excitement, the joy he's feeling knowing his baby boy is about to come out. wow. i mean, man! im not in hurry or anything but just the thought of that moment is.. wow!
i've heard this man's story and i can't help but be encouraged by it. this guy put God first in his life. he waited for the right moment and the right time to lay down his intentions to the girl he's been preparing for. this guy worked hard for his family, and for His kingdom. Everytime time im with him i learn a lot about how it is to be a man around women, and about what it takes to be a family man. His prayers reveal the depth of his devotion and the heart of a king in him.
I can't wait to visit them later!!
