2. Alex was living and wanted to live for Christ, living out his faith and love for God in every aspect of his life, showing that Jesus was his treasure.
Alex tried to scare me away when we first met, and instead drew me irresistibly to him! He wanted me to know that he wasn't choosing the white picket fence life, that he would live sold-out to God, with a wartime lifestyle, making choices to glorify God in all he did. He gave me the book Don't Waste Your Life to read, and I was pretty much sold right there. Certainly he would stretch me in my faith and walk with God, and not hold me back.
Yet Alex is balanced, too. You might think from what I wrote that we live a spartan existence with bloody knees. But Alex understands too the value of recreation and enjoyment of life. It means so much to me that as we struggle to think how can we make each decision, each dollar, each moment count the most, he loves to whisk us all out for lunch or take a weekend away with me at the beach.
