Growing up my parents did many things well. One of the finest legacies they passed along to me is my love for travel. I can remember from very early on, taking trips to Arkansas in the car to visit Mike’s mother. As we got a little older and our bodies grew even bigger those trips became cross-country trips to California in the mini-van. Those were the days! I treasure those memories.
Ever since those days, I have longed to pass along that same legacy to my sons.
Tomorrow Warren and I embark on a cross-country trip to San Diego. Crazy, I know, but I couldn’t be more excited! I am blessed to work for Randall House and to get to go to some cool events. This week I am headed to Children’s Pastors Conference – San Diego, CA where I will meet up with my other partner in crime, Randy Walser.
As we head out tomorrow our first destination is Tulsa, OK. We leave mid-day, so it will be a long one!
In addition to the pure adventure of traveling across country with Warren, there is an even greater adventure going on: He and I will “begin” having so Pre-Adolescent conversations. He is 7 now, and 7 will soon turn into 9 then 11, then 17 and he’s gone! It’s hard to believe he’s already 7 as it is! I am looking forward to these talks together.
My prayer for this trip is that our relationship will be strengthened even further, and that Warren will have yet one more layer of understanding as to what it means to be a young man in the pursuit of the heart of God.
Walking in Grace,
Matt
