Two years ago today I became a father of two children!  This is an exciting moment in our household…  No more need for whole milk, no more baby food, potty training begins soon, no more babies in our house…  (At least for now…)  This is a huge moment in our lives.  We have two children over the age of two.  It is cause for celebration.  We all went into Grace’s room this morning and woke her up… Here’s a little movie I took of that.  It is too funny.

It is thrilling to see Grace grow and become a little girl.  Soon enough it will be exciting to talk about how she is learning to drive, and engaged, and eventually she will be introducing a new life into the world of her own.  I can’t wait to watch and see how she grows.  

Imagine with me for a few seconds that if I feel this way about my own son or daughter, how much more excited God gets when we make strides to growing up spiritually!  Imagine when we get to the point where we just aren’t praying for a “good day”.  Or we are beginning to see the needs of others.  I can just see God up in heaven going, “WAHOOOO!!!  I THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD NEVER COME!  GOWESKY FINALLY GETS IT!  HE IS GROWING!”  

What are you doing to intentionally grow closer to God and in your walk with Him?
