Today I talked with my mentor Reed over the phone again. He
and his wife Jessica welcomed their fourth child to their family this past
Tuesday! They had a boy and his name is Jack. I have known Reed for about six
years now, and it has been amazing to see him and his wife go from a young
married couple, to parents of four. It makes me feel really old! We talked
about how amazing it is that your life can change so much within such a
relatively short period of time. If I think back to when I met Reed, so much
has happened in my own life. It is fun to think that so much will change in the
next six years. Reed said that there will be ups and downs for sure, but to
place my trust in God through all of it. Trying to control our own future is
something both Reed and I know we struggle with, although he probably does a
better job in trusting God that I do. He took the time to pray for me and my
future to end our call. My mentorship with Reed will surely continue for many
years, and I can’t wait to see where the Lord takes each of us.
Marcus,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to them on their new addition to the family!
I promise you're not getting too old, because if you're old, then I'm old! LOL
It's amazing to reflect on where we expect to be in life and where life truly takes us. Additionally, it's amazing when we learn that God's plans will always be better than our own.
Most importantly, I'm SO excited for you and your future and am so encouraged by your wonderful mentoring experience!
