Alive and Kicking

Sometimes I really feel like writing something on here and other days I really don't care to. Sometimes I'm really busy doing nothing and at other times I am doing a lot of things and being super productive. It seems like it's been a while since I put up any pictures but I haven't taken a whole lot lately.

There has actually been a lot going on in all aspects of my life. Sometimes the trials of life can be so terribly overwhelming but somehow I always manage to overcome and become stronger. Yet it is all so crazy because it seems like as I become stronger I then get hit with something even bigger. Each trial seems to knock me down even harder. I try to stay optimistic and keep pushing through and hoping that it is all because I can't know the sweet without knowing the bitter. Hopefully it is all setting me up to experience the most joyous, sweetest things in life. I'm obviously being very vague and I prefer it to be that way..........I guess, all in all, I'm realizing that somethings are just out of our hands, no matter how much we try. Sometimes, what may seem like reality really isn't.

No matter what gets thrown at me I am always thankful that I always have the kids. No matter how much life can be upside down, there is nothing more important than being able to look into their eyes and tell them how much I love them.

Mike you're an awesome Dad to those kids, and they're so blessed to have you. We admire you so much!

Your a good Dad Mike, your kids are lucky to have a Dad who has that postive perspective on life. Just keep telling yourself, "This to Shall pass". Stay strong in the church, trust me it's the only way to find true happiness.
