More than THE CHURCH has been a challenge as a church planter. Falling in love with GOD more than the FAMILY has been a challenge. Falling in love with the WORLD more than MYSELF is another one…I could go on and on.

About 2 years ago I learned that I needed to set boundaries. I used to work 10 hour days easy. Then I was slapped down over the fact that I needed to love my family more. Was I not doing that?

The greatest report is that I am so much better on that one. And without a job potentially in a few months…they might want me to go back to work.

But how can you not love the smile in the pic above. That’s our JOI, a true gift from the Father. May I learn to stay in love with the right people at the right times.
