Well it has been a month since my last post which also means Owen John Morren is a month old! Thats right time is flying by and our little man is growing like a weed! Who knew having two kids would be so much fun! Peyton has taking a liking to her little brother and has even started singing to him when he gets up in the morning or when he starts to cry! Nichole and I are feeling very blessed to have such a great little family. I have a little anxiety over summer coming to a close because that means fall is just around the corner. Why would this cause anxiety in me you may ask? Well thats because my life is about to get super busy and I am not sure I am ready for that yet. I have really enjoyed just being a Dad and Husband for my family. The calendar is about to fill up and with that means more running around and less time focused on the things that matter most! Now its not that these calendar items are not important or don't mean anything because they are important but it always leads to less time for the family. It also means that our time at our second home (Silver Lake) is almost up and I am certainly not ready to give that up either. Isaiah 40: 29-31 tells me however that I am not alone:
29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless
30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
That was todays verse of the day on the Bible app. My Daily Reading devotional for today was titled "Where is Your Hope?" and was about finding our peace in Christ while life hits us with its storms! Why is that ironic you might ask? Because I didn't read it until after I wrote the paragraph above. God knows us better then we know ourselves and tonight is yet another reminder of how amazing He is. That even as I wrote down all these thoughts that were in my head, He already had an answer for me. Trust in Him and He will take care of the rest. Wow what an amazing Savior we have! May God Bless you friends and may we never take a moment in this life for granted. We live in a broken world full of hardships may each of us strive to make it a little better for those around us.
