Our South American adventure has revealed lots of new sides of Tim in the last year. Here are some things I have come to respect deeply.- Tim loves church. He has such a desire to see people come together to worship. I really admire the way he pushes the envelope with innovation and creativity but simultaneously cherishes and honors the inheritance passed on to us from the last 2000 years of church history.
- Tim loves people (even though he might say he doesn't). Watching our friends come to understand and eagerly accept the gift offered to us in Jesus Christ has transformed his take on our purpose here. His #1 desire is to help people in ways that make a difference eternally and all the other stuff he does in Puerto Supe falls under that goal.
- Tim loves our dogs. Maybe that's not something I respect as much as enjoy. Owning a toy poodle, in particular, has made him a new man. I can't wait to see what kids do to him (no time soon).
- Tim loves me. Okay, I already knew this one. The very fact that we are here pursuing my dream is a testimony to his sacrificial love for me. His patience with and dedication to me during our time here are making me into more of the woman I want to be.
Boy am I glad Tim was born!
Happy Birthday, Tim! We think you're pretty great too!
Happy Birthday!
Wish we could celebrate with you.
