Do you ever wonder how life is supposed to look? Do you have regrets regarding past mistakes, questions about what the future holds, or concerns pertaining to present circumstances? These are things I think about all the time. As I live life with the throttle wide open, as it were, these are things I want to understand better in order to become a better husband, father, brother, son, and a better friend.
There are questions I frequently ponder. What are my life choices producing? Is my speech reaping "life" into my family and others who step in and out of my daily life? Will God say, "Well done, My son" at the end of the day? What is it that draws me closer to God, my wife, and my children? Am I speaking words of truth and life into their lives? Are the results and consequences of my choices reflective of God's Person and His glory? Or at the end of the day, is it all about me?
I am a technology junkie. At any moment, whether I am at work or at home, I receive phone calls, texts, emails, and breaking news flashes on mulitple devices. Combine that with a short attention span, staying focussed is like trying to drive uphill on black ice in an ice storm. So how does this father slow down every day to hear God's voice? How do I adjust my life to grow closer to my wife? How do I slow my pace to enjoy, teach, and learn from my children? Since technology is such a draw for me, I have decided to use it to help slow me down so I may better share my struggles and successes with you.
Life often seems to move at breakneck speed. I invite you to join me on this journey learning to lean on God for His wisdom and strength in order to glorify Him daily.
