My Justin


Challenge #4 List all the ways I admire my husband.

It is human nature to think on the faults of those we are around the most, so it is important to take time to think on the good in one another. I am so very thankful for this challenge!




1. He works so hard, I know his shoulder hurts every day from his work accident in 2007. He wants me to be at home with our son so he pushes himself even when he is in a lot of pain. I admire his endurance. Some weeks he works 6am till 8 or 9 pm then works on the weekend.


2. He has a heart for children and teens, after a long Wednesday working we pick up anywhere from 5 to 15 young people for bible study and fellowship, even on nights when he is tired and sore (which is more often than not) he does not cancel on the kids.

3. He is a giver of his time, when we were first married I was not very understanding about this but as I have come to understand Justin I have learned he just enjoys being there for people and helping out, this is a quality I wish more people had. A lot of times he has came home a for a change of clothes and a meal just to head out the door to go help someone else.


4. He is always making me laugh. He loves to joke and tease.


5. He is very honest, he always answers honestly. People that know him (even if they don't always agree with him) respect him because he is so honest.


6. He plays with our son, even when I know he has had a rough day he will lay on the floor and play airplanes or vroom vroom with little man.

There are many more reasons I admire him, he is always there for me to kill bugs even though he laughs. He watches our son after a hard day at work so I can go to women's bible study.

He listens to me when I talk late into the night even when he has no idea what I am saying. He does not give up on people, he has one friend he has been praying for, for many years.

He works with our church teens to help them get a summer job and some work ethic.

When it all comes down to it he is the one for me, but more important then even that he is one God has chosen to do great things! I am so happy to be here to meet his needs and follow his lead as God leads him to great things.
