I was talking to some friends last night, and one of them mentioned that an email I had written about a month ago about fatherhood had been forwarded to them (That’s My Job). Normally, I wouldn’t think that much of it, but it was about the 8th time in just the last few days that I had heard that from someone. When I sent the email out, I had no expectation that it would be forwarded around the way that it appears to have been. And the comments I’ve gotten back about it have been amazing.
Clearly, it was a message that God wanted to get out to my sphere of influence and beyond. I am amazed and humbled by the path that simple email seems to have taken and by the effect it seems to have had. As I penned those words, I had no idea that God had such a wide audience in store for those thoughts. Now I can see such a clear purpose in Allison being awake all night and giving me the quiet time to sit there in the darkness of her room and let God teach me and inspire me to write that email. It’s truly amazing to me how God works in our lives… and as many times as I’ve seen it, it never ceases to amaze me.
