With all our life changes recently, I have met with a challenge that came unexpectedly. Having been in the military since I was 17, I became used to receiving a certain degree of respect just based on my career choice. Now that I have chosen a path that many people (including Christians) seem to question, I have had to really stop and think about who I am in Christ. It’s easy as a man to strive to be the one with the answers, the protector and provider for my family. What do I do when God calls me down a road with limited knowledge of the future? Sometimes the humbleness of not knowing doesn’t seem to reconcile well with being the man with the answers. I guess as time passes, I will adjust to this new reality, but until then, this is who I am:

I am a child of God.
All of the wisdom, knowledge and intelligence that I may possess, is a gift from Him.
I don’t have all the answers, but I know Who does.
I will cling to my identity in Christ at all costs, and if that makes me look small and insignificant, that’s because…well… I’m small and insignificant.

He must become greater; I must become less. John 3:30
