Really cool that this was one of the most popular articles of 2022. Arkansans are the most supportive and I am honored to be part of this state. Best decision = moving to NWA and working for @Walmart. 🙏🏻

Think police said “SAY CHEESE!” when they got his mugshot? 💀

There’s really nothing quite like watching your child suffer. My boy has had 5 surgeries in 3 years. We have to give him injections weekly. Last week, he developed some kind of infection and inflammation around his G-tube, so now, simply giving him his medicine and water (which has to be done 6-10 times a day) involves holding his arms back while we connect to his G-tube as he cries out in pain. “Please!” “I don’t like it, Dada!” “I don’t like it!” I hear through tears… “We don’t like it either, son. Mommy and Daddy wish we didn’t have to give this to you, but we have to.” His motivational pre-pain words have officially become “I’m tough. I’m brave.” Me: Why? “Because God makes me strong!” Me: “That’s right, buddy. God is making you strong!” So why share this? I share this because I know SO MANY people who have similarly watched helplessly as someone they love suffers. I share this because I want to remind these people (and anyone who might be reading this) that God is sovereign over the suffering AND if you are in Christ, you can know FOR CERTAIN that your suffering WILL BE Redeemed! (Romans 8:28). Not only do you get to live with the promise that he is working ALL THINGS together for good, you can also rejoice in the promise that these trials are designed to conform you more into the image of Christ, and strengthen your faith (1 Peter 1:6-7). In other words… In the midst of your suffering, God is making you strong! We do not always get to see what God is up to in the midst of our suffering. In our family worship time, we are reading through the story of Joseph. I sure bet Joseph wished he knew WHY God had allowed his brothers to sell him into slavery. Or why God allowed him to be falsely accused and thrown in prison. It sure must have seemed like a bunch of meaningless suffering. But it wasn’t. God MEANT for Joseph to go through all of that SO THAT Joseph would ultimately ascend to second in command in Egypt, and rescue millions from famine. I do not know why my son was born with bad kidneys. I do not know why his G-tube had to get inflamed on our first day of vacation last week. I do not know why my little boy has to suffer this much. BUT I do know that God has a perfect plan, and he loves me. He loves my wife. He loves my boy far more than I do. And He is worthy of my trust, and my worship, even in the midst of suffering. Not only is he worthy. He offers us true joy, and peace that passes understanding, EVEN in the suffering. Every time my boy says, “God make me strong,” I meditate on the truth of that simple faith exclamation. I do not know ALL the reasons for this suffering. I do not claim to know all that God is up to in these trials, but my boy has the right of it. In the midst of suffering, God is making you strong. He is burning off the dross. He is sanding off the rough edges. He is conforming you more and more into the image of his son Jesus. These medical trials have brought my wife and I closer to the Lord Jesus than ever before. We have grown in patience, endurance, joy, and peace. Our prayer lives have deepened, and our faith has increased. So at the very very least I can already see SOME of what God is up to in this trial. So dear brother or sister, I hope you are encouraged. I pray that, in the midst of your own trials, you cling to our sovereign Lord and loving Savior. He is currently offering you true joy and peace that passes understanding. Take hold of it by faith. Be like Cal and remember… God makes you strong. He is making you strong. Prayer points: 1. Please pray that Cal’s G-tube issue heals up quickly. 2. Please pray that Cal and my sister in law (kidney donor) don’t get sick before the transplant, resulting in another postponement. 3. Please pray that God continues to provide for our financial needs. For anyone who wants to support, you can buy a Kidney for Cal T-shirt. We are praying that we can sell 300 more shirts this next month. Lastly, and this is NOT a NEED, but we had several people express interest, so we started a GiveSendGo to try and give Cal an awesome, super fun backyard for his recovery/quarantine. He will have to quarentine for a while after the transplant because he will be on amino suppressants, so I have this dream of giving him an epic back yard play area. In order to do this, we will need fencing, leveling, and a playset, which I found out is actually quite expensive to get done. Again, this is not a need by any means, and even if we don’t raise a cent, we will make his recovery time fun and special no matter what, but if you felt so inclined to help out in that way, THANK YOU SO MUCH. The thing that I covet most of all is prayer for my family and for my son. I have grown more and more convicted that PRAYER IS EFFECTIVE. And I have been so encouraged by all the prayers of the saints.
