Into the 3rd decade of life.

I am a few months late into doing this post but better late then never. I am know 30 years old, my last year in my twenties consisted of watching Isaiah grow up, paying of my student loans, moving to a new place as the apartment that we were in was taking over by new management and turned into a home for people needing assisted living due to mental issues. As a result we moved into a new town house not to far from were we used to live and gained double the space that we had. We moved into the new place in May and then went to Ontario for Isaiah first birthday. In the summer Brain and Dianne came out to visit. We spent our last Christmas in Ontario puking due to the flu. Voltage sold out this past year and it was a huge success. Sean took a medical leave from Joe's Place and I took on more responsibility of programing. Those were the most memorable moments of my final year in my twenties.

As I turned 30 this year my one wish was to go skydiving and have 30secs of free fall. Which I did just last weekend with some friends. It was an unreal experience and was something that I needed to help me feel alive again. God has also used that experience to help me think through this next year. I have stayed on at Joe's Place this summer but I am feeling that my time there is actually coming to a close. I am feeling that I am to comfortable at Joe's Place and feeling like it is time to take the leap of faith and see what the next decade holds for me. I know there will be a time of free fall and i need to trust that God has pack the chute and knows when to pull the cord. Also that he will take care of us were ever we end up. I am looking into being a truck driver, as a means to provide for my family and take some time to figure out the next number of years of my life. I probably won't do that until next spring. possibly the fall depending on what life looks like.

On Valentines day this year Leanne found out she was pregnant again and we are due in Oct. praying for a healthy and whole baby, and we found out that it is another boy that is coming which at first we were all Little disappointed as we had been hoping and sensing that it might be a girl as it was such a different pregnancy then with Isaiah. but we are excited and looking forward to seeing Isaiah be a big brother and interact with his little Bro. Once baby is born that will determine more of what this coming year will look like and what life will look like next year.

My hope for this year is that I will be able to trust in God and have him lead us in the way that he is leading. I love being a dad and recently have been learning to see God as my Father and I as his beloved child. I have always taking the position of a servant more then child but learning to Love God in this new way is also helping me understand how to love others like He loves us. I have also been set free from my porn addiction since October, temptation is always there but I am walking in victory with Jesus. I am looking forward to seeing how God leads me. I want to be a father to more then just my own children as well. I hope to be a dad like figure to my children friends and possibly some foster children in the future, but that is up to God to lead us that way. For know I just want to be faithful to God and who he is leading me to be.
