Thank Goodness

Well there is a good chance you are probably wondering where the heck have we all been? Who am I kidding I know you want to know so here is the update. Natalie is 1 and Elijah is now 3 years old. They are so big and strong know it’s scary, but beautiful nonetheless.

The Family

It doesn’t suffice to say that we are very thankful for everything that has happened thus far here in Dallas. God has blessed us immensely. Our jobs and my schooling is going so well and my children are in the best place they could ever be right now. There is no doubt in my mind that we are in the right place as of today.

            
Thanksgiving was amazing this year. We served in ministry at LIFE in Dallas this year and 35 people accepted Jesus into their lives all because of our hard work and passion to reach people for God. We had Thanksgiving dinner at our beautiful Pastors Home and my Family on Thursday evening and finished the whole event at 6AM Friday morning due to the black Friday craze we were all peer-pressured into. I’m joking it was clearly my idea (and by my idea I mean my wife’s idea.) I have to say that it was a great experience with my wife and sisters to have but probably will not do it again. I find that with children, I just value my sleep too much and I feel like I threw away one day of sleep in my 5 day weekend off work and school which is far too valuable for me. That being said I am very thankful this year for everything that has happened. I am thankful for my wife and my kids. I am also very thankful for my family, my sisters and my parents for always being a great support system for little family. But I am also thankful with God for the air I breathe and for every morning I get to wake up and live to see my children grow, and love my wife another day. It is so beautiful to know that we have a purpose here and that we have been given the gift to enjoy it. I encourage anyone and everyone to do the same. BE THANKFUL!

So Thanksgiving was great. The holidays are around the corner and so are Finals. Christmas is going to be great. Not only because my family is here but because we will be serving at church as well. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us this Holiday Season.
