Update: Team Libbon

So here's the update ...

Fatherhood continues to be one of the hardest things i've ever ventured to do. Right when I thought I had the whole husband thing figured out all the rules change. How I love lisa, how i love abbie. That being said it's also the most blessed i've ever felt in my life. A blessing through exhaustion (We are up at 3 AM and 6:30 Am most every day. ) Abbie has taught me more about Jesus then I would ever have imagined someone so little to be capeable of.

Ministry is a roller coaster this time of year. Spring is always a strange time in the lives of families so that gets translated into the times we minister to them. A great victory is that we've seen this years confirmation class really own the transformational nature of Jesus. Not only for themselves but for their friends and families as well. To get students to turn the corner form consumer to minister is big and rarely happens. So in short things are good and the gospel is being preached.

Personally I'm in a weird place. The rest of life seems to be settling down as I adjust to the newest member of team libbon but spiritually things are hard. I've found that areas i once had nailed down seem to have vanished in the last 8 weeks. My prayer life has become difficult, probably a direct link to my dwindling and groping time with the lord. I had a discipline that 6:30-7:30 was time i devoted to scripture now it's devoted to diapers. So the restructuring of my disciplines is going to be seminal in, as John Piper puts it, my "fight for joy" these days. Again it's Jesus letting me know through Abbie that it's his hand that sustains me not my ability hold all the proper actions.

That's me, who's next on the update?
