On 9-12-09 the Chief and I planted our feet upon the GREAT Wall of China...
I still get butterflies when I think of that day...
What an AMAZING site to behold...
Positively breathtaking...
A dream became a reality...
it was FINALLY our turn...
Really, truly, magnificently, extraordinarily one of the most memorable days of my life...
One year later on 9-12-10 we stood beside this little guy...
our firstborn...our Wild Man...the one who made us Mommy and Daddy...
Once again...butterflies...
but for an entirely different reason...
Once again...an AMAZING site to behold...
Once again...POSITIVELY BREATHTAKING...
Once again...a dream became reality...
Really, truly, magnificently, extraordinarily one of the most memorable days of my life...
(and for the record, the Great Wall of China is nothing in comparison to 9-12-2010!)
I have prayed for this day since I knew of his existence. The day our son would freely choose to love and serve the God who created him. That day came on July 27, 2010. Today was his day to tell the world. For most of his life, Jeremiah 29:11 has been etched upon my Mommy heart specifically for this child. It says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Today that verse became alive and active before our eyes. Thank you Lord for the blessing of September 12th...our extraordinary day.
Dear Wild Man,
We are rejoicing with you tonight on one of the most significant days of your life. Without a doubt, no life decision will be ever be more important than the one you shared with the world today. We are so proud of the young man you are becoming. We can not wait to see the plans God has in store for your life.
All our love,
Mommy and Daddy

There is no greater blessing than to see your child desire to serve God. What a great day for your family!
Jer. 29:11 is our verse for our children, who each have accepted Christ and are striving to live a holy life.

What?? How crazy! Our boys were baptized on the same day! I had no idea! Congrats! Isn't it a wonderful feeling??!! So happy for J!
Okay - this post and the forever family day post both have my in tears. So sweet - you're so blessed. So am I!
Blessings! Our first born just took his first pastorate. Success is seeing your child find God's will for their lives - whatever that may be or wherever that may be - and then watching them accomplish it. Praying he will always stay open to God's plans!
