Concerning life at home, I have failed more than i have got it right. When i fail, the person who feels the heaviest weight of these is the lady above. Allie is my wife and the one, who here on this earth, I enjoy being arond more than anyone else I've met. But, as i've learned, the more time you spend with someone, and the more you love someone, the greater you get hurt by that individual. I have so much to learn about what it means to be a humble husband and servant to my wife, but in the meantime i will continue to say sorry as often as possible.
At the end of the day i recognize this to be true: complete satisfaction can never be found in relation with anyone else - because we all are flawed and we all long for more. The longing we all have is for a connection with the one who made us and knows us perfectly.
Therefore as a husband I aim to point to Jesus, in whom me and my wife can be satistied.

As a dad to a 3 year old boy 'Theo', and almost 1 year old girl 'Evy' I have so much to learn. As they grow up I hope to be an example to of what it means to work hard and love big. To do this I want them to see that I am giving my best in my work, in whatever context that may present itself. In this endeavor I want to take steps to teach them - hands on - what it means to do hard work and also why it matters. In a more serious sense, I want to model for them honesty by letting him know my struggles from a young age. I know it to be true that vulnerability begets vulnerability, and I want my son and daughter to know three things by being open with them about my failings: 1) dad is a sinner 2) dad needs Jesus and 3) it is safe to come to dad to share anything. My goal is that when (or if) my children come to me in the future about things they are struggling with, that I will show them grace - just as my heavenly father has shown me grace - and that I can lovingly lead them to Jesus where there is true help and hope.
