I am writing and documenting about our lives so that our children and grandchildren can see how Chris Rivera's life and love for the Lord impacted their future but most importantly I want them to have proof of God's blessings, promises, and provision in our lives.
As of now, no one (not my kids, husband or anyone else) knows that I am journaling on this blog but one day when the time is right I will let them know.
Coach - My husband, Daddy to our 3 kids is a wonderful man. I cannot express enough how blessed we are to have this man as the leader of our family. He has a servants heart and denies himself many a time just to please our kids and me. I witnessed my husband be a son unlike any other I have personally known. He cared for his bed ridden mother in our home for years. Her day to day care was quite extensive and exhausting yet he did it day in and day out with out even questioning it. He seeks to please God and follow what God leads him to do. He is diplomatic and has the gift to see things from a different perspective. When I am frustrated and on fire about something his level headed thinking brings me back to earth. He has the gift of discernment and for this I am very thankful because i don't think i do. I am thankful that he loves me even when i am unbearable. It takes a special man to put of with me and he does very happily. I love that he is decisive. When he makes a decision he never looks back (if he has prayed about it and sought God's blessing).
Once he accepted God's call on his life to Christian School ministry he spent many years coaching and working at his Alma Mater (head FB coach 1996-2005-assistant before that). After being gone for 6 years we are returning. As of August 2012 Chris will once again resume the duties of Head FB coach at FCS.
