In the past year, I feel as if my wife and I have learned so much. This blog has helped us clarify our thoughts and beliefs, as well as encouraged us to be more bold when approached about our lifestyle. We have made it a practice to look back on the last year of our lives and talk about how we have improved and changed from the previous year. I guess I picked this up from my adult leadership growing up!
In my youth group years, I remember learning about sanctification. It is a Christian’s never-ending process of being made holy and separating oneself from sin. This is one area of my Christian life that I don’t take lightly. My family and I will always review our lives to ensure that we are constantly in this process. You don’t get to old or grow out of your need to be discipled and grow in the Word of Yahweh.
I feel as if the last year of my family’s life is overflowing with growth and understanding. We have, without a doubt, progressed in our personal relationships with Yahweh, and our marriage is stronger than ever. Our relationships with Yahweh have improved both in our personal lives, as well as our life as a couple. My primary area of growth is my prayer life, and my wife’s is her yearning to read and understand more and more verses of Scripture. I pray this is something that we never regress in!
We are excited to see how this next year unfolds! It is so encouraging to see how our lives are constantly changing, it helps us persevere! Wonder what area(s) of our lives Yahweh is planning to mold over the next 12 months!
There are two constants in our lives:
Christ & Change
