Thank you faithful readers for following me and reading my blogs. This one is special, because today is a special day.
Throughout your life you have many moments that just stick with you for the rest of your life, moments that are memorable. Today will mark the day that a year ago I married the love of my life, my partner in crime. I remember watching her come down the aisle as her adopted father, a man I greatly look up to, walked her down the aisle. I remember holding her hands as we listened to our dear friend marry us, staring into her eyes, crying because she is crying and because of the moment.
Let's go back a little bit, only because there is so much more to this story, that has to do with my walk with Christ. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be where I am. I tell her often. It is because of her that I know God. If it weren't for her I would be a part-part-time parent, letting my parents raise my daughter when she wasn't with her mother. I would be sitting on the computer playing World of Warcraft til like 3 in the morning, and getting up about 10 for work.
When I finally got out of the addiction of World of Warcraft, and yes, it is an addiction, I have seen it tear through relationships and marriages and witnessed myself what it did to me. I started looking online afterwards for companionship, and after many attempts I found my wife. We talked for a bit, she lived a bit of a way from me, but whenever I could I would go see her. Some nights I would stay, go to church with her on Sundays, and that's when it started.
At church I always felt the pastor was talking to me. I always walked away with something, but I never really held onto it, but for that one day it would touch me. After about 3 months she broke up with me, complicated situation, she loved me, but in my opinion she was just afraid of what I was offering, because after 1 month I was ready to move in and start a life with her. I was moving too fast honestly, and I can admit that, it's what I did, all the time.
Before we broke up though we went to a day at the park called Willamette Celebration, where there were a bunch of stuff, stages and bands that were Christian. There even was a skate park set up and a bmx ramp set up where some Christian extreme sports people were showing off and preaching on Him. I was excited.
I started getting ideas that somehow, someway, I want to let youth know that God is much more than bible and church. I want to show them that there are rappers, rockers, skaters and other extreme sports. That is where my previous blog about my ideas came from.
All of that plus my want to become the leader of my household all started and continues to grow, because of my wife. She is my rock, the one that holds me down. We may argue, we may fight, do and say stupid things, but we love eachother no matter what. Through Christ we can do anything. Next blog I will write about a few things I am doing in my life to help me become a spiritual leader in my household.
Thank you all and God bless.
