When I tell my faith story, several pivotal moment

When I tell my faith story, several pivotal moments have @calebwilds in them.
.
He was the guy God used to welcome me back into the church when I had strayed.
.
Quirky. Funny. And absolutely one of the best pastors I know.
.
He sees straight through your junk to the person God is forming in you. And does what he can, to draw that out.
.
My first job in ministry, was a door that he opened for me.
.
He encouraged my husband to ask me out.
.
He stood as the best man at our wedding.
.
He encouraged my husband in discovering his calling as a pastor.
.
He invited us to visit Dallas, which changed the projection of our ministry lives.
.
He cheers me on to write for ministry and create resources for the Body of Christ.
.
And most recently, he connected @jsonscot to the church that we are now serving at.
.
So when January 19th comes around, I think about the impact his life has made in our family.
.
Both Jason and I are blessed to have a friend like Caleb.
.
Happy birthday Caleb! The Scotts love you.

The trees in the back finally have snow.
.
So I will sit here and enjoy my coffee as long as the silence lasts as the kids play outside.
.
How I have missed snowy branches!

Why I always round up when asked to donate to Rona

Why I always round up when asked to donate to Ronald McDonald House.
.
We lived there for a month when my son struggled to survive his birth defect.
.
The floor of the bathroom became my altar.
.
And I am thankful for that room only a few blocks from my baby boy.

I miss my dad. . He's been gone 13 years, today.

I miss my dad.
.
He's been gone 13 years, today. I miss the way he would wrap his arms around me with one of his daddy hugs—that made everything okay.
.
He taught me that dreams take sacrifice and hard work. But if you dream big enough and work hard enough, dreams become your day job.
.
He was an immigrant from Iran.
.
He came to the U.S. with $200 and a dream for a good education and a career as a civil engineer.
.
He served as an engineer in Vietnam and worked with a team that constructed the Port of Saigon—I have a copy of his commendation from the Navy.
.
And he landed his dream job that he worked for more than 30 years—rebuilding Los Angeles through the city's redevelopment agency.
.
His job was his career and his art. He dreamed of ways to preserve the old and meet modern uses. He enjoyed coordinating teams of architects, contractors, and designers to revitalize what some might see as places that should just be bulldozed. He was the ultimate nerdy re-purposer.
.
We would go on dates and look at at his projects. He explained the challenges of using modern materials. The glimmer in his eye explaining his art taught me the pride of good work. And the joy of sharing creativity with others.
.
But most of all, he was my daddy. He believed in me. He cheered me on and sacrificed anything to help me reach my dreams. He wasn't perfect, but his love was deep.
.
Any time I called him at work—even if he was in a board meeting—he picked up the phone. His career took much of his time, but I knew I was his priority.
.
Letting go of him has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. Letting go and holding on.
.
If he could only hug my children.
.
At his funeral, a colleague of his said to me, "Greater than any building he built, you are his legacy now."
.
Those words seared into my soul.
.
So I dream. I work hard. I take the provision mom and dad left us, and I burn my candle at both ends studying and doing my art.
.
I may not build buildings. But I hope the thousands of words I craft in my lifetime, will build hearts.
.
LOVE YOU, DAD.
