I absolutely LOVE my boys. I enjoy spending time with them, even when they frustrate me. I’m thankful for every moment. It moves my heart when they get excited to see me do what I do and even more-so when they want to DO what I do.
This past Sunday at church I was scheduled to run sound. Eden asked if he could sit in on “grown-up church” and help me run sound. I taught him how to mute and unmute, move the faders up and down, and he even mixed a little of one of the songs.
The title of this post is obviously a play on words, but I do believe that my interaction with Eden is a great metaphor for what discipleship can/should look like. We walk alongside one another, learning, trying things, making mistakes, experiencing wins.
Discipleship is messy but amazing. I’m so thank for my privilege and responsibility of raising and discipling Eden and Eli. I imagine at the end of my life, I will look back on these moments as my greatest in ministry.
