The Lord has really challenged me through your father. I am so thankful for Desiring God ….listen to a lot of messages and read a lot of books. My husband is a youth/college pastor we pray someday to get to go to one of the Desiring God conferences. RIght now he is leading our youth through Blazing Center and our college through Don’t Waste Your Life. I found you and your wifes blog through Desiring God. Thank you for your heart:) and for sharing…you definitely keep me thinking. Just want you to know that I pray for you and your family when I read your blog. Thank you and your wife for sharing during joyous times and times of suffering. I know the Lord is using your words and your wife’s to encourage many . May the LORD continue to use you and be gloroified. Have a blessed wonderful Day:)
