I am married
I am a male
I am 47 years old.
My birthday is: July 16th.
I live in Lima Ohio USA
I am a Christian(35yrs), husband(21yrs), father(6), & friend. I'm a ragamuffin sinner saved by Grace. As a Christian, I am a work in progress. I love my wife & kids and believe God intended marriage & parenting to be for a lifetime.
I came to Christ at an AWANA's night at the age of about 12. No fireworks or deep sobbing, just a simple understanding that I needed Christ. Many thanks to those leaders who took the time to prepare my heart for God's call. My parents were not real consistent in there walk in faith. Much of my biblical knowledge, which wasn't much, I gained through Sunday school. My walk was dim at best and I eventually walked off the path God intended for me. At age 19, I should have lost my life in a drunken driving accident. When I went to see my car, the man at the yard looked at me and said, "You should be dead". That was a wake up call for me. I decided I had gone too far and needed to get back on track with God. I started going to church again. Through a friend, I met my wife. What brought us together was our love for God and our desire to live Christ centered lives. I went to college, married my wife, and had 6 children. Not all in the same week of course. Throughout my life God has "rocked my boat" and I have had to get down on my knees and call out for help in the storm. As I would come back in line with His will, He has cared for and protected me. He has never let me leave Him. My wife and I recently served 2 years at a home for boys in Oklahoma. It was an eye opening experience, as a parent, to see what life without God can do to a young man's life. God brought fully to our attention that our biggest mission field is right in our own living room, with our own children. As of late, God has now raised the stakes in my life. He no longer wants me to call Him to calm the raging storm, He now is calling me to get out of the boat, into the storm, and keep serving Him. I must now learn a whole new level of trust and prepare my heart for a new level of knowledge of His word and His path for my life. I must trust Him for protection as I desire to grow in knowledge, understanding and wisdom. I feel like my testimony has only just begun to unfold and there is a bit of fear and anticipation of what God has for me in the coming years. In Christ, PapaBear
