unbroken time

almost 2am in the morning and i’ve been working like crazy. my daughter is sleeping, my wife is sleeping. and i still have a ways to go. i finished one project, and have this weeks talk to get writing. i find that especially in this first year of church planting (we launched in jan), that time is difficult with an infant. i spend my days taking care of a 6 month old which is absolutely awesome. i spend my nights with my family which is the best time of the day. and that leaves the occasional one or two nights a week where i work until early in the morning, to work on church and also spend extra time in scripture. its those latter moments especially which i love. its the time where God refreshes, guides, corrects and encourages me to go further. unbroken by cries or the phone. its wonderful. and a lifesaver.
