This past summer I shared a story about Jordan Romero, a 13 year old boy who was the youngest to ever climb Mt. Everest. It was amazing to me what a Junior High kid could do when he set his mind to something...thanks to his dad and a team of Sherpas.
Well this week in the news, it appears that a nine year old will soon attempt to break his record. Pemba Dorje Sherpa (smile for all those kwest folks) holds the world record for the fastest climb up Everest and is pictured here with his son Tseten, who is set to make the trek himself. Why? It's amazing what a son can do when he sees the picture lived out in his father.
As I travel around on the movie tour I am always reminded of how real that truth becomes when faith is lived out day to day....especially by a dad who understands. I recently stayed with a family whose kwest age kampers were the most polite, gracious, I'm Third kids I have been around. When you see kids living it out on the home front, you know it's real. I am not surprised though. They have a good example to follow in their home. It's not just talked about...it's lived out.
Jesus was the same way. He constantly looked to His Father for direction and was step for step with Him every moment he walked on the earth. Hard to imagine for me some times, but I do know it's true. I am thankful for His example as a Son living like His Father. It makes a difference in how I lead my sons...
