God has inspired me through different people over the years. I have seen His goodness through those people and have been a better person because of it. The same thing happens when I see a family unit that works to glorify God together and to show His goodness... I get inspired. One such family is Tim and Melody's. They have 3 children and both parents have jobs. The kids have many extra-curricular activities. They are a busy family. Tim is our deacon of youth. He is focused, passionate, and in love with the LORD. He wants that for his family and our youth. Did I say He is a "big teddy bear"?
.
Melody? Well, Melody, is focused, passionate, and in love with the LORD. Melody has a "heart of gold". On any given day you can find Tim and Melody and their kids involved, in some way, in meeting the needs of others. This past Sunday, they hosted a graduation party for Erin. Erin lost her mommy in January to cancer. She is the youngest of 5 and will be heading out to Harding University soon. I am amazed at the loving way that Melody and her family have served Erin.

.I am amazed at the way Tim integrates teen activities so that his whole family can be involved: in service projects and Bible study. Here they are showing up in my front yard several months ago - for a little bit of both!

And, Tim makes sure to pull together other teen parents and their families, too!!!
.
And, then, there's the mission trips and Bible camp that they all head out on for weeks at a time! They partner with other teen groups and have a great balance of "being on the road again" and "being still to meditate on and know the goodness of God !"
.I am so grateful for Tim and Melody and family and how their lives reflect the goodness of our God.
