He is 36 now! He is not old or young any more really. I mean, look at all that gray hair! He is becoming more and more the man God is calling him out to be. I get a front row seat so I get to watch it and experience it first hand. It's quite thrilling really. He is a man worthy of respect. He is a man of integrity. He is FULL of vision. He is a guardian of the Truth and the Word. He instills identity and truth in our children.
These 3 love their Daddy with all their hearts. They follow in his footsteps without any fear or worry. They trust everything he says to them. They lean into him and love spending time near him.
Fondu to celebrate!
Too bad I couldn't get my camera to focus. I also had sparklers in my hand while trying to take pictures! Whatever. It's still worth posting pics of the fun.
Happy Birthday to an amazing man that I am not afraid to follow. I respect you. I will not give way to fear but submit myself to God and you and adorn myself with the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. (Disclaimer: this doesn't mean I won't be my loud, crazy, and silly self; just that my inner place will not be twisted up in fear and clamoring for control. Well that is my prayer anyway and I know God will honor that and shape it in me.)
