In the morning when I rise give me Jesus, give me Jesus!!, give me Jesus!!! (Crescendo gives me chills), the lyrics move me You can have all this world (repeat 3 times), give me Jesus... Ive been a Christian since my Father-in-Law Bud Peterson baptized me in a public ceremony where I was born again. Back in NY, I used to think born again Christians were some weird group. My ignorance was astounding. Thank God for opening my eyes. When I met Kirsten and became part of East Williston Baptist church where we were married and then moved to Denver to start a new life I took that journey with open eyes and we made a life. It truly was a leap of faith when I look back on it. It was a struggle and those who know us well know the struggles but God blessed us with a church family at Mission Hills and we overcame those struggles and Tony and Donna were born. This was a miracle folks. A true miracle. I do not regret that decision because I was following my heart and what God had planned for us. You see its all about faith. Almost every relationship is about faith. In order to have faith you have to be willing to take the leap. You have to walk to the end of proverbial plank and jump off. You have to have faith in what God has planned for your life. Well when I see my children thriving now, even though my marriage has failed, I say to myself, this is what God has planned for me and I have to accept it. I thank God for the people that were in our lives when we lived in Denver and helped us through our difficult moments. I admit to all on this social media site I am a difficult person to live with and Kirsten and I had our struggles raising our children and dealing with the daily stress of life. Weve dealt with chronic illness and how that impacts everyone in the family but count our blessings as Tony and Donna are such beautiful children. We are so blessed. Everyone needs to count there blessings and reflect on them every day as we go through our daily lives and struggles. My faith is challenged again now as I try to figure out what God has planned for me next. I give it all to him and when I walk in the mornings I pray for him to show me the way and I pray for those I know are going through similar struggles. I thank him for the blessings I have in my life and I strive to make each day a reflection of him. That is not easy and I fall short every day, every day. That first glance, that first kiss, that first embrace they are all leaps of faith. I have always worn my heart on my sleeve and although that has caused me some pain, I will not change. Let the buyer beware....LOL Well that is what is on my mind Facebook friends, lifelong friends and family. I leave you with this beautiful song that inspired me to write this down. God Bless. youtube/watch?v=9rZ8k9m2hwo
