Shortly after we were married my husband started to attend Biola for his undergrad. Upon graduating in 2005 he took a semester off and entered into Talbot School of Theology for the masters program at Biola.
In 2007 he took another semester off when our Asher was born. Aside from that he has been attending semester after semester.
I seriously have no idea how he handles a full time job, school, high school ministry and still manages to be an awesome daddy and husband.
As you could imagine there are times after tough semesters, where the road ahead seems longer than the road already traveled. And those are the times when I, have to remind him, that he has come to far to throw in the towel.
We love Biola , there is just something special about that campus. It has not been just a place of education for my husband but a place of spiritual growth. He has been blessed to be taught by many godly professors that has challenged him with the word and how to go deeper.
As the boys get older I know it's harder for him. At times he feels like he is missing out and misses the good night kisses and snuggles. Often time wondering why it didn't happen sooner before kids.
I actually see it quite differently (perhaps because I am not the one with sleepless nights), I love that our boys get to see daddy going to school because he is teaching them A few things:
1. You and Never to old to learn new things.
2. If you want something continue to pursue it no matter how long it takes.
3. Never give up!
4. All things are possible when God is the center!
5. Daddy's success is a reflection of our families ability to be flexible, encouraging and love.
Every semester my husband complete is one step closer to graduation. And the day he walks across the stage we will celebrate as a family that we did it! We are so proud of our daddy and the leader of our home and Im blessed to do this less than perfect life with the perfect mate......
This blog was only appropriate since fathers day approaches.. Also we took family pictures a few weeks ago and it was only fitting that we did on the campus of his school... I was so blessed with what Frances of P31 Photography put together for us. Here is a sample of our day :)
