RAMBLINGS from Evan's dad – Last night I went up to Evan's room where he had gone to bed sometime earlier. I did what I try to do every night and prayed for him just before he goes to sleep. I prayed that until God calls him home, he will love God each day, more then he did the day before. I prayed that Evan will be a light to those who don't yet know Jesus, and I prayed he would encourage those who do.
Evan (who is now a teenager) has heard some form of that prayer for years. I am praying that it has seeped in to his mind, his heart, his very soul. My hope is that he will be more of a servant today then he was yesterday. And, I am hoping he will be a better servant tomorrow, then he was today.
A buddy messaged me the other night and asked if he could get a ride home from church last night. I replied back to my friend "Sure".
My mom's birthday party is this Saturday 56 miles away in Conyers. There is a 10K race earlier that day that is a fund raiser for a ministry a friend runs. He asked me if I could run in it that morning. I looked at my schedule, knowing it would be tight and said "Sure".
I hope I am as compliant with God when He wants me to do something, as Evan was with me. Evan didn't tell me he was too busy. He didn't ask if Lacy could do it. He didn't complain about his work load. He didn't whine or complain and ask "why me?" He just answered a simple "Sure".
