Hey Jude!

Today is my son's second birthday. So much has happened over the last 2 years and yet it still feels like yesterday that I saw him for the first time. I can't believe how much he has grown over the past 2 years. I can't believe how much I have grown over the last 2 years. God has used this little boy to give me so much revelation. Through him, I have come into a better understanding of the Father's love for us. With every passing day, the revelation that God gives me continues to increase. I will forever be changed because of him.

Some people have asked my wife and I why we named him Jude. Being a Beatles fan, I couldn't think of a better name. But naming him goes way beyond a love for The Beatles.

Walking in Daddy's Shoes

The other day, as we were getting ready for church, my son Jude, put mu shoes on and started walking around. As he was walking around, he was singing, "I walkin' in daddy's shoes." While watching him walk around in my shoes, I started thinking about all the things I want to see him do and all the places I want him to be able to go to. I want my son to not only walk in my shoes, but I want him to go farther than I do.
In that moment, I heard the voice of the Lord say, "I want you to walk in my shoes. The very thing you want for Jude, is what I want for you."
