I AM

Asking questions and continuous learning is very much a part of life and I hope that I can be as inquisitive as our young, growing boys to seek wisdom. As important as it is to seek wisdom, who you are seeking insight from is just as important. I fervently pray that our boys will seek Godly counsel and surround themselves with Godly men.

As we near the end of 2013 and I think about the year ahead, I seek to continue to grow in my relationship with God, seeking wisdom, comfort, and council…affirming who He is in my life.
