Family undivided

As I sat in our office at home last night, I heard my daughter weeping. She was crying about the move to NYC. She is sad to leave our home. Her school. Her friends. She is the type of kid that is emotional and caring about every single person she ever comes in contact with. And she cares deeply about others, thus, her relationships with others are valued by her greatly. So superstar, myself, and alli sat on the couch and talked through it. We talked about God and this call and what that means to our family. We talked about the new friends we will make. We talked about the visits back to Michigan in the future.
And so, that should make it all good, right? Not so much. But I do sense that God will drive our family closer together through this process. Much like I feel that Superstar and I are much closer now than we have ever been. It is my great hope that I can be the Godly man and lead our family and remain undivided as we continue this journey.
I read an interesting post here that the star sent to me. I know that our family will be greatly blessed by the diversity of nyc, and I can't wait to share in that with each member of the kkft.

Alli will be fine in NY. She will love school and the city and church. I'm glad she is going to miss us though... my heart breaks when I think I won't be able to see them anytime I want to. oh.. you and Superstar too

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
