10 years: The Next 10 years

So what will be different in the next 10 years? A few thoughts
  • My wife is no longer my secretary. She has officially finished her time at NMC as the administrative assistant to Senior High. She is a stay-at-home mom now.
  • I'm no longer cool. I'm okay with that.
  • I went from friend, to big brother, to being seen as a dad. Scaring, considering I would have had these kids as a teenager if I was their dad.
  • Youth culture is different.
  • I was relevant for a season. Now I've got to fight to be relevant.
  • Doing ministry single was different than married. As a dad, it's a whole different ballgame again.

I am so happy that Janelle will be able to be with Katylynn all the time. Kids grow up so fast, and I am so thankful that I was able to stay home with my kids. Thanks again for letting me be with Katylynn this past week. She is such a blessing! And yes, being a parent changes everything! I still miss serving in youth ministry, but my family is my #1 ministry and the season we are in as a family makes youth ministry not possible. I guarantee that when Curt and I are empty-nesters, we will be there for the youth!
