It is the day after the graduation of my oldest son....the first born....the one with whom all my high hopes and expectations were set....he is 18 years old and is so very ready to head out into the great big world and start his own life...NOT MINE...I am so very happy and proud of him...I really need to remember though that he will make mistakes and I will still be here!!! I WILL BE THAT MOTHER THAT WILL NOT STOP PRAYING...I love you so very much Nathan and I am so very proud of you! You will never have to fear coming to us for anything once you got on your own.
Andy and I have always strived to look to the inside of our boys hearts, not just on the outside. Any MK (missionary kid) can look good, follow all the rules, and even say the right things at the right time, always remembering that they are a picture of what their parents do on the mission field, but is that really the right thing? To think of their parents reputation or pleasing them before thinking of pleasing God? We will always continue to pray that God's will be done in the lives of our boys...NOT OURS...for God knows the plans HE has for them, NOT ME...I may think I know, but HIS ways are higher than mine....
God, Take my boys and make them yours!
LOVE YOUR MOM....
