Life and all his friends ...

What a great moment it was to talk with Mike. He is 17 years old and has three kids (triplets). He was upset about the fact that he doesn’t have the greatest patience with them at 2am when they are crying and he is tired. With tears in his eyes he shares with me that he has yelled at them, put his hand over one of the kid’s mouths and has just been fed up. He believes that his actions have already profoundly affected his kids and that was eating away inside of him. To talk to him and share that he didn’t have to give in to this anger and that God is with him and that he can choose the best way at 2am was a HUGE relief to his already heavy heart. To hear that I struggle at 2am with a crying child and don’t always have the patience for that was another huge relief for Mike. I had my opinions about this kid when I first met him. I thought he was a punk who was just here because his girl was. It was great to spend some time talking with him about being a dad. I believe with all my heart that God has brought them here because he needs to be shown what kind of dad he can be through Jesus. My hope is that God teaches him what that looks like and I get to be apart of the process. Thanks Mikey!! You’re a great daddy and will only get better!! 1 John 1:9
