Life can change in heartbeat. Recently, I learned how quickly our lives can be filled with uncertainties, as we were awaiting the arrival of our seventh grandchild. This little guy was anxious to enter the world, but when fluid was swallowed into his lungs it created uncertainty.

What would happen? When could he be held? Why did this happen?

There are questions that arise when we face moments of uncertainty. However, in those moments when our faith was challenged, we found the blossoming leadership of a godly father and mother.

We often speak of leadership in the realm of someone within an organization, primarily the church.

The reality is that leadership begins in the home. The foundation of a mother and father who are dedicated to make sure their children are loved and raised to trust, honor and obey a heavenly Father who loves them.

I have prayed for Benjamin from the moment I learned of his conception. Prayers have been answered as he continues to heal, and I know God will work through his life to lead others to know the Father and Leader of all.
