We went to IN for a week over Thanksgiving. Although it was wonderful to see family and old friends, I am grateful to be home again!
My husband had the oppourtunity to speak at the church where he grew up. Our family did the music for the service, then he gave a testimony to what God has been doing in his life this past year. You see, my husband is a musician. He has pursued music as hard as he could for most of his life. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it was interfering with our family life. In the past, there were times when I tried to confront him about it. He didn't know what I was talking about and would soon be defensive. Finally, I gave up the frontal assault. I started praying.
That was about 4 years ago. This past year God has done awesome things. He has changed my husband's heart, turned it away from the pursuit of musical recognition and towards our family, our children. Two Sundays ago, my husband was allowed to share this testimony. I had tears in my eyes as he stood before his home church family and told them he had been wrong and that God had shown him His plan for a husband and father. My husband encouraged other men, whether fathers or grandfathers, to take up the responsibility of teaching their children. God is so good!
