I am humbled by the goodness of God. I have the privilege of helping people during their hardest moments and guiding them in the most important part of their life – their relationship with God. This does not mean that I have all of the answers! What it does mean is that God has called me to help find the answers that we can have and grow from there. I am a screw up that God allows to lead other people who screw up every once in a while themselves.
In this leading of other people, God is constantly putting me in situations where I have to look to Him. God is blessing my family despite the truth that I mess up in parenting and husbanding (is that a word?) more than I get it right. God is growing His church here at Northline despite an unworthy leader. God is good and does good even when we are screw ups and mess ups. That is what makes Him God and that is what makes Him good. He deserves the very best of my life because He is so good.
I am writing this to give God the praise that He deserves. If you do not do this, you should try it. It is amazing how good it makes you feel when you realize how incredible God is in comparison to how much of a misfit we are.
God, thank you for being good to me!
Until next time…

major dito. I cannot comprehend why God would invest so much into a misfit like me. I too am unworthy to be the husband to my beautiful wife, the father to my four awesome children or to be intrusted to be the pastor of this incredible church.
It was great talking with you during the pastor’s reception @ Northridge. Thanks for the encouragment. Yea God !

What you wrote made me really think about my life and how i guess i am really important to god. Even tho im a screw up he really does love me. I can not understand why God would want me as one of his kids. I just got saved almost 2 years ago and im still a screw up
God still loves me and its hard to understand why!!!!! There is just things that make it hard and i dont understand and gets to hard that i dont want to be his kid but i really want to try and work through them. What you wrote was amazing and thank you for everything!!!!!!!

Hi, jsut wanted to see how your doing. When is the baby due? I love the blog and have to admit I am torn between your church and the one I have attended. You don’t know how many times I have wanted to come see how everyone is doing. God sent me there for a reason and Praise his name I will never forget you. I wish I could combine the 2 churches because I really do miss Northline.
