Tara is Living her dream

Tara and I are in California at a training event. Not mine but hers. For 27 years Tara has been the one who has followed me around, supporting me as I pursued God’s call. She has been my coach, fan, critic, and best team mate. We are in ministry together. God called us both.
God has given her an amazing ability to connect and build children. So she is opening a gym targeting kids 6-15. (www.fitwize4kids.com) I am so excited for her and I have pledged to do everything I can to help her have the best environment for kids possible.
Yesterday, at the first day of training, we were asked to introduce ourselves. In my normal pride I love to say where I’ve been, what I’ve done, and who I know, but yesterday I said, “I am with Tara”. It was so good to let her shine. Why do I tell you this? Because I believe that for the first time I am beginning to understand what it means to love my wife as Christ loved the church. I think that if guys loved their wives and helped them live their dreams then marriages would thrive.
Is starting a business and planting a church wise. Not really. Will this be a challenging season of our lives? Yes. Once again we are moving to a place that if God doesn’t come through we are doomed. This could be really fun.
Tara loves kids and now she will be building their lives through fitness, nutrition, and the power of God’s love. I am so excited. I am proud to say “I am with Tara.”
