Jacob's Blog
 Hello and welcome to my personal blog page called "faith lounge". Unlike my official ministry website, this is just a place for me to share my most current thoughts.
Update
Hello FaithLounge family,
I realize that it’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog. I apologize for not keeping things up to date. Things are busier than ever, both professionally and personally. The biggest reason for my leave of absence from blogging is the birth of my son, Makai! This is the first for my wife, Cherie and I. We’re so happy, and excited to have our little bundle of joy as we write a whole new chapter in our lives. I covet your prayers and thank those of you who have been praying for us. Makai is healthy and bonding well with his mommy and daddy. =)
As you can imagine, my brain is boiling over with thoughts, emotions and inspiration. As a full-time writer and author of several books, I can usually articulate my thoughts into words. It’s something that I’m pretty good at. However, there have been only two times in my life where words couldn’t describe or express my emotions. The first was when my wife walked down the aisle on our wedding day. And the second came just two weeks ago (July 22nd), when I saw my son Makai for the first time. Time stood still and words were like a brush without paint.
Tears swelled up in my eyes, my voice box cracked and my knees felt like rubber. At that moment, “life” took on a whole new meaning. Everything changed. I became a dad. It is the greatest feeling in the world.
All I can say is, our God is awesome! And I give him all the honor and glory for blessing us with such a priceless treasure. Children are gifts from God.
Again, thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Stay tuned for more blogs on FaithLounge.
